We work with clients to prepare for the future sale of a business, or for the transition of ownership to the next generation of the founder’s family, employees or investors.
Our Vancouver corporate legal services include reorganization of share capital, consideration of tax efficiencies, reorganization of corporate structures and all transactional matters related to the sale or transfer of a business.
From stronger consumer protection rules to evolving AI risks and construction payment reforms, businesses in Vancouver and across British Columbia are entering a new legal landscape that demands proactive attention—not reactive fixes.
Vendor takeback financing (VTB), seller financing, and business purchase financing in Canada are increasingly common solutions when traditional lending falls short. Whether you are buying a business or preparing to sell one, understanding how these structures work, and how they are legally protected, can determine whether a deal succeeds or collapses.
The answer is more important than most people realize. It can determine whether you are entitled to severance pay, legal protections, and compensation when your work ends.
Despite what a contract may say, Canadian courts are clear:
Your legal status depends on the reality of the relationship, not the label.
Let us prepare your business for the next generation.
