Background
Our client owned a thriving pharmacy business and the land it was situated on. She approached us for assistance in selling the business and retiring.
Helping Small Business Owner Achieve their Retirement Goals
Problem
To begin with, selling a business that also includes ownership of the land comes with unique challenges. In the specific case of pharmacies, the buyer of the business must be licensed by the Pharmacy Board and have the necessary approval. The Commonwealth imposes
strict controls on approving new pharmacy and relocating pharmacies for Pharmaceutical Benefit Scheme (PBS) subsidy purposes. These complex issues, combined with the need to work with an accountant and business broker, made the process even more challenging. To facilitate a successful sale of the business, the client needed appropriate terms that would protect her interests while being attractive for potential buyers.
