Contract Review/Assessment
Medici is experienced with many forms of contractual agreement and documentation regarding complex licences and commercial transactions. We can quickly review heads of agreements or contracts and provide a plain English assessment of the deal points, explaining the jargon so you’re better placed to understand the deal.
Trading Terms and Conditions
Trading terms are only important twice; once when you draw them up and once when there’s a dispute. Knowing what to lay down as your terms of business and knowing what you can and cannot do can save you money and aggravation in the long term. Likewise taking the time to audit your various terms of business at regular intervals will prevent you from falling foul of changes in the law.
Due Diligence
When it comes to selling your business you need to be sure you have every “t” crossed and every “i” dotted, especially in these economic times when buyers are more cautious than ever. Likewise as a purchaser you need to be sure, very sure, of exactly what you’re getting. Medici is experienced in the due diligence process of buying and selling businesses, assessing potential acquisitions and entering into joint ventures.
