Managing Business Sales with Precision
Business and commercial selling requires careful coordination of legal, financial, and tax considerations to ensure a compliant and seamless transfer. At Property Transfer Professionals, based on the Central Coast, we guide sellers through each stage of the process — from contract preparation to final settlement. Our licensed conveyancers review all sale documentation, verify disclosure statements, and ensure your obligations under Capital Gains Tax, land tax, and GST are properly addressed before completion.
We also liaise with accountants, financiers, and legal representatives to confirm all requirements are met prior to settlement. If needed, we can attend the commercial settlement on your behalf, ensuring documentation is lodged correctly and funds are disbursed without delay.

Frequently Asked Questions
What documents are required when selling a business?
Key documents include the contract for sale, disclosure statement, lease agreements, financial statements, and tax records. Sellers must also provide evidence of ownership and confirm any employee or supplier obligations. Ensuring these documents are accurate and complete helps prevent disputes or settlement delays later in the process.
What are common tax considerations when selling a business?
When selling a business, Capital Gains Tax (CGT), land tax, and Goods and Services Tax (GST) may apply depending on the nature of the sale. Professional tax advice should be sought early in the process to determine eligibility for any exemptions or concessions. Clear disclosure of tax implications protects both parties and ensures compliance with Australian tax law.
How long does a business or commercial sale take to settle?
Most business and commercial sales take between 6 and 10 weeks from contract exchange to settlement. The timeframe can vary depending on due diligence, finance approval, and regulatory requirements. Clear communication between all parties helps maintain progress and prevent unnecessary delays.
Our Process
Ensuring Clarity & Compliance
When preparing to sell a business or commercial property, every detail of the contract and disclosure documentation must be reviewed for accuracy. This includes confirming ownership details, identifying lease obligations, and ensuring all financial records are complete. A conveyancer will also assess potential tax implications, such as GST treatment and Capital Gains Tax, and ensure these are properly disclosed to the purchaser.
During the settlement phase, all parties are coordinated to finalise document execution, transfer ownership, and release funds. Electronic settlements are increasingly common, allowing for faster, more secure processing of commercial sales. For sellers managing multiple assets or properties, professional conveyancing oversight ensures that every aspect of the sale is documented and lodged correctly. This structured approach not only prevents unnecessary delays but also provides assurance that all legal, tax, and financial responsibilities are met before completion.
