The Process of Buying a VAT Registered or Readymade Company
Step 1: Initial Consultation
The journey begins with a consultation. Our experts will discuss your specific requirements—whether you want a VAT registered company for tax benefits or a readymade business that’s already operational. This consultation is designed to understand your goals and recommend the best options available.
Step 2: Company Verification
FinacBooks performs thorough due diligence on every company listed for sale. We verify the authenticity of documents with Companies House and other relevant authorities. This includes a detailed background check to ensure there are no hidden liabilities, outstanding debts, or compliance issues.
Step 3: Agreement of Sale and Transfer Documentation
Once a suitable company is identified, we draft a Sale Agreement outlining the terms and conditions of the transfer. This agreement is prepared in compliance with the Companies Act and is reviewed to ensure it meets legal standards. The buyer and seller are both required to sign the agreement, and necessary documents are lodged with Companies House.
Step 4: Transfer of VAT Registration and Bank Accounts
If the company is VAT registered, we handle the transfer of the VAT registration to ensure it aligns with the buyer's needs. We also facilitate the smooth transition of bank accounts, providing access to banking facilities with HSBC, Barclays, or Natwest. Our team coordinates with the respective financial institutions to ensure all necessary authorizations are granted.
Step 5: Final Handover and Support
Upon completion of all formalities, the company’s control is officially handed over to the buyer. We provide post-sale support to address any questions and help with initial administrative tasks such as setting up a registered address or making any necessary notifications to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) regarding data protection compliance.
