business lawyer Regina reviewing corporate documents with a client

Starting a corporation or buying a business is a major decision. The structure you choose can affect ownership, taxes, records, risk, banking, and control of the business.

SPS Law Group LLP helps clients in Regina and Saskatchewan review their options, prepare key documents, and understand the legal steps involved in corporate formation and business acquisition matters.

Corporate Structuring and Business Acquisition Support

Forming a corporation involves more than choosing a name and filing documents. You may need to decide whether to incorporate federally or provincially, plan the share structure, appoint directors and officers, prepare by-laws, set up records, and complete required registrations.

Buying an existing business also requires careful review. A transaction may involve shares, assets, contracts, employees, debts, taxes, licences, real estate, equipment, intellectual property, and other legal obligations.

SPS Law Group LLP assists with clear and practical legal support so clients can make informed decisions before signing documents or closing a transaction.

Buying or Acquiring a Business

Buying a business should be handled carefully. The buyer needs to understand what is being purchased and what risks may come with it.

An acquisition may be structured as a share purchase, asset purchase, amalgamation, management buyout, seller-financed purchase, or another transaction structure. The right structure depends on the business, the parties, tax considerations, risk, and the goals of the transaction.

Important review areas may include:

Financial records and cash flow.
Existing debts and obligations.
Contracts and leases.
Corporate records.
Employment matters.
Licences, permits, and regulatory issues.
Real estate or equipment.
Litigation or legal claims.
Tax and GST/HST considerations.

Reviewing the Business Before Closing

Due diligence means checking important information before the deal is completed. This can help a buyer understand what the business owns, what it owes, and what problems may need to be addressed.

Legal due diligence may include reviewing corporate records, contracts, intellectual property, employment matters, real estate documents, regulatory issues, and any known litigation or disputes.

Financial due diligence may include reviewing financial statements, cash flow, working capital, debt, tax filings, projections, and future capital needs.

Letters of Intent and Purchase Agreements

Many business purchases begin with a letter of intent. This document may outline the main deal terms, price or pricing method, due diligence access, confidentiality, timelines, exclusivity, and closing conditions.

The purchase agreement is usually more detailed. It may address the purchase terms, representations and warranties, indemnity, closing conditions, post-closing adjustments, employee transition matters, and other obligations between the parties.

Appionment

Scheduling that puts time in your hands.

What is the difference between federal and provincial incorporation in Canada?

Federal incorporation can provide name protection across Canada, but the corporation may still need to register in the province or territory where it does business. Provincial incorporation is often used when a business mainly operates in one province. A business lawyer Regina clients contact can help review incorporation documents before they are filed.

What is the difference between a share purchase and an asset purchase?

In a share purchase, the buyer usually buys the shares of the corporation. The corporation continues to own its assets and obligations. In an asset purchase, the buyer chooses specific business assets to buy. Each structure can have different tax, risk, contract, and closing issues.

How long does a business acquisition usually take?

The timeline depends on the size of the business, the documents involved, financing, due diligence, negotiations, and closing conditions. Some transactions are straightforward, while others need more time because of contracts, employees, property, financing, or regulatory review.

What records does a new corporation need to keep?

A corporation normally needs proper corporate records, including articles, by-laws, resolutions, director and shareholder information, share records, and other required documents. SPS Law Group LLP provides business lawyer Regina services for business formation, corporate records, and acquisition planning.

What should be reviewed before buying a business?

Important review areas may include financial records, tax accounts, contracts, leases, employees, debts, licences, permits, equipment, real estate, intellectual property, and possible legal claims. A careful review can help identify risks before closing.

How are employees handled when a business is sold?

Employee matters depend on the deal structure and the facts of the transaction. Buyers and sellers may need to review employment contracts, benefits, payroll records, severance risk, and transition plans before closing.
