Buying, selling or merging a business is one of the biggest decisions an owner or board can make. The risks are often hidden in the details: the state of the books, tax that has not been paid, contracts, staff obligations or licences. Good preparation and careful checks protect the value of the deal.
If you are investing in or buying a business in Sierra Leone from abroad, we can combine due diligence with the local registration, tax and permit work covered by our market entry and investor support services.
Many Sierra Leonean businesses are owner-managed, and their records reflect that. Accounts may be incomplete, tax may be filed on estimates, NASSIT contributions may be behind, and important licences may sit in the owner’s personal name. None of this has to stop a deal, but it should change the price, the terms or the order of steps.
We look at the books, the tax position and the staff and licence obligations before you commit, and explain what we find in plain terms. For investors coming in from abroad, we combine the checks with the registration, tax and permit work covered by our market entry and investor support services.
Scope and fees are agreed in writing before work starts.
