Preparation
Corporate records, contracts and known issues cleaned up before a buyer finds them.
M&A
Selling a business in Spain
Sellers lose value in two places: unprepared diligence, and a warranty package that leaves exposure open for years. Both are addressable before the process starts.
Who this is for
- Owner-managers
- Family shareholders
- Founders exiting to a strategic or financial buyer
Controlled disclosure
A disclosure exercise done properly is the seller's main protection against warranty claims.
Limiting exposure
Caps, time limits, de minimis thresholds and escrow negotiated deliberately.

Frequently asked questions
- How early should we start preparing?
- Six to twelve months before going to market is ideal; it is when governance and contract issues can still be fixed cheaply.
- How long am I on the hook after closing?
- That is a negotiation. Ordinary warranties are commonly time-limited, with longer periods for tax and title, and the drafting matters as much as the headline period.
