What causes a business sale dispute to arise?

Business sale agreement disputes can sometimes arise based on the fulfilment or interpretation of these targets:

  • If a business does not operate properly following on from its acquisition, leading to targets being missed
  • If the buyers present business figures in such a way as to ensure targets are not hit, in order to avoid paying associated sums

Either of the above scenarios could lead a seller to miss out on monies they would otherwise be eligible for.
