This document is a condition which can be used in a business sale agreement.

It may be important to the purchaser of the business that the business continues to be conducted from its current premises. If this is the case, the purchaser should ensure that any agreement of sale is conditional on the purchaser obtaining satisfactory information about the premises.

Using this precedent

This precedent clause is a condition precedent which can be used in a sale of business agreement. It can also be inserted into the “conditions precedent” schedule of the separate precedents “Business sale agreement – sale of assets (short form)” and “Business sale agreement – sale of shares (short form)”.

When inserting this optional clause into an agreement, care must be taken to ensure that the agreement remains consistent. Cross-references, definitions and schedules should all be checked.
