Business transfer in Portugal and Spain

We accompany owners who want to transfer a business and people looking for one to take over. We talk first, in confidence, and only then go ahead.

Two names, two legal systems

The operation is called trespasse in Portugal and traspaso in Spain. The legal and tax framework is different in each country. Before going on, we confirm which one applies to your business.

First we confirm the country and the framework. Then we talk about the business.

Where would you like to start

I want to transfer my business

The business is not advertised. Its name and address are not given to anyone before a first conversation and a confidentiality agreement.

You tell us what you have and what you want. We collect the documents, check what matters and present the business to people who have registered with us.

We use the number to speak to you about this request.

I am looking for a business

You tell us what you want: country, sector and budget. We register your interest and come back to you when a business fits.

Before any decision, the business goes through the same checks: lease, licences, accounts and equipment.

What a business-transfer conversation looks like

Five steps, in the order they usually happen.

  1. First conversation

    We listen to what each party wants and confirm the country and the framework that apply.

  2. Documents collected

    We gather the documents of the business and of the premises where it operates.

  3. Checks

    We check what is on the table before any commitment.

  4. Contract

    The terms are put in writing, with the support of the professionals each case requires.

  5. Handover

    The handover is agreed: keys, ongoing contracts and introductions to suppliers and staff.

What is checked

The list adapts to each business. These are the starting points.

01Lease
The term that remains, the rent and the conditions for assigning the premises.
02Licences and permits
That the business has what it needs to operate and keeps it after the handover.
03Accounts and debts
The financial position of the business and what would remain unpaid.
04Included equipment
What is part of the operation, in what condition and who owns it.
05Staff contracts
Who works in the business and on what terms.

Do you need the property too?

If you are looking for a business and a property, the buying brief is for that. If you are selling the business and the property where it operates, the discreet sale applies to the property.
