There are many factors which need to be considered when buying / selling a business and GDPR is certainly one of them. It is important that any data which is shared as part of the purchase / sale complies with current GDPR guidelines.
When purchasing a business, in most cases you are purchasing the company as it is at the time of purchase. Therefore, all employees’ contracts of employment remain unaffected.
If the business you are selling is situated within a Leasehold property then you must inform the Landlord of your intention to sell. The Landlord will then request references for your buyer from reputable companies such as the bank before they agree to the sale.
