In Canada there are generally two ways in which one may purchase or sell a business – an asset deal or a share deal. An asset deal involves the sale of all or part of the company’s property interests. On the other hand, a share deal involves the sale of shares in the actual company.
Any disputes that arise during the purchase or sale of a business could be addressed in a number of ways. The initial concern should be to see any dispute resolution provisions in any agreements that may have been entered into by both parties for the purpose of the sale of the business in question. If no such agreements or provisions exist, there are options available beyond the court system. These normally include mediation, arbitration or a combination of the two aforementioned procedures.
