Buying and Selling Nurseries Solicitors in London and Essex
We are experts in buying and selling nurseries and generally deal with transaction values between £100,000 – £10 million.
Running a nursery can be very rewarding, but it takes enormous commitment and is coupled with a range legal and regulatory issues to navigate through.
Whether you are selling your nursery due to retirement, proposing to acquire your first nursery or looking to make a series of nursery acquisitions, we offer specialist advice and representation that is tailored to your specific objectives.
It is essential to obtain specialist advice because we can offer insight based on our experience in the sector and other transactions we have worked on. It is particularly important to obtain legal advice as an early stage to ensure that your transaction is structured appropriately, before incurring legal and other professional costs.
Our unique selling point is that we understand what clients want from their lawyers. We will manage your transaction proactively, with careful attention to detail while never losing sight of the bigger picture.
While working with us you will have access to our strong network of other professionals such as accountants, brokers, independent financial advisers and bankers.
We offer a range of pricing options and will be happy to discuss these with you. As a client-centred law firm, we will be transparent with you about our pricing and actively manage this throughout your matter.
Ofsted requirements
All nurseries must be registered with the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills (Ofsted). As a future owner of a nursery business, any buyer is required to go through the registration process, which may take up a number of months to complete. Without the Ofsted registration in place, the nursery would be unable to operate after completion of the transaction. It is important to ensure all relevant applications are made as soon as possible, including for the setting itself (if required) and the change in the nominated individual.
We will factor the Ofsted registration requirements into the transaction planning stage, and check-in with you about this throughout your transaction. As part of this, we will discuss with you any desired handover arrangements to help with the smooth transaction following completion of your sale or purchase.
