Buying or selling a business is one of the largest transactions most owners will ever complete, and the legal details determine what you actually acquire, what you remain responsible for, and what can go wrong afterward. Jon acts for buyers and sellers of privately held businesses across Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, and Langley.

How Jon Helps

Jon handles the transaction from structure to closing: advising on share sale versus asset sale, preparing or reviewing letters of intent, conducting or responding to due diligence, drafting and negotiating the purchase agreement, addressing employees, leases, and licences, and managing closing and the transfer of ownership. For sellers, he also helps prepare the company so diligence goes smoothly, since a clean minute book and organized records directly affect price and speed.

Whether the deal is a main-street business changing hands or the sale of a company built over decades, the work gets the same care.

Who This Is For

This service fits Fraser Valley business owners planning to sell, buyers acquiring an existing business, and owners bringing in or buying out a co-owner. If your transaction is between existing shareholders under an agreement, see Shareholder Agreements.

What Working Together Looks Like

It starts with a conversation about the deal on the table or the exit you are planning. Jon explains the structure options and their consequences in plain language, sets out the fees, and manages the legal side of the transaction through to closing.
