Business and Asset Purchase Power of Attorney

Authorise someone to buy a business or assets for you, within a ceiling you set.

Buy with limits that protect you

If you are buying a business or assets from overseas, a Power of Attorney lets a representative sign for you.

We recommend naming the target, the maximum price and the assets in the document, and stating what the representative may not do.

What you will need to start

  • Passport and ID of the buyer
  • Details of the business or assets
  • Agreed terms and price ceiling
  • Details of the representative

What the document can cover

The powers are set to the task you actually need done. Anything not listed is not given.

  • Signing the purchase agreement
  • Paying within the limit you set
  • Taking over licence, assets and records
  • Registering the transfer

How the process works

  1. Describe the target. We note the business or assets you are buying and the agreed terms.
  2. Set the ceiling. We name the target and the maximum price, and state what the representative may not do.
  3. Draft and review. We prepare the document and send it to you for approval.
  4. Notarise. You sign before a notary public with original identity documents.
  5. Translate, attest and deliver. If you sign abroad, we arrange translation and attestation, then give the finished original to your representative.

What to check before you sign

  • Price ceiling in writing
  • Target and assets named
  • Representative can be trusted with funds
  • Plan for ending the authority
