Once initial sale terms are agreed, a purchaser will check the strength of their proposed purchase by reviewing all commercial aspects. Sale terms may need reviewing and some matters may be too commercially sensitive to risk disclosure at this point. Axis is on hand to ensure that all legal and financial aspects will be appropriately considered.
