What compliance documents should sellers prepare?

Sellers should prepare current registration certificates, audit reports, incident logs, worker screening records, policies and procedures manuals, and staff training documentation.

What compliance checks should buyers conduct?

Buyers should independently verify registration status, review audit reports, check for sanctions or complaints, assess worker screening compliance, and evaluate the business's compliance culture and systems.

Is a share sale or asset sale better for compliance continuity?

Share sales generally provide smoother compliance continuity because the registered entity continues to exist. Asset sales may require the buyer to obtain new registration, which can take 12–18 months.

What happens if the business has outstanding compliance issues?

Outstanding issues must be disclosed and addressed. Depending on severity, they may reduce the sale price, require remediation before settlement, or deter buyers entirely.
