Move from interest to a properly documented transaction.
A practical process for buying or selling a Hong Kong business, company or selected assets—without treating a listing as proof and without skipping due diligence.
Five stages, with evidence before commitment.
- 01
Define the transaction
Confirm whether the buyer is acquiring shares, selected assets or an operating business, and record what is included and excluded.
- 02
Exchange information safely
Start with a public summary. Use confidentiality terms before sharing sensitive financial, staff, customer or licence records.
- 03
Review and verify
Buyers and their advisers review ownership, accounts, liabilities, contracts, licences, tax and operational records.
- 04
Agree written terms
Record price, deposit, conditions, approvals, handover, staff, stock and any post-completion support in writing.
- 05
Complete with advisers
Use suitable legal, accounting, tax and regulatory advisers. EasyBiz coordinates introductions and information; it does not replace professional advice.
Information buyers should request
- Company ownership and authority to sell
- Recent accounts, bank evidence and liabilities
- Material contracts, tenancy, staff and assets
- Licence status and required regulatory approvals
- Tax, litigation and compliance matters
Before paying a deposit
Confirm who receives the money, when it is refundable, the conditions for completion and what happens if an approval or verification fails. Put these terms in a signed agreement reviewed by suitable advisers.
