Business Sales and Acquisitions
Selling your business is the biggest transaction of your life.
It’s what I do day in day out
Let me guide you through the sale process – with expert 5-star legal advice from a solicitor who speaks human.
What actually happens when you sell
Four key stages to selling your business. The whole process can take between 8 and 16 weeks.
Steven Mather Solicitor
1. Head of terms
The commercial deal in outline. Most people sign these as ‘they seem ok’, but it is best to get advice early. By the time they are signed, the shape of the deal is largely set.
Heads of terms, LOIs and MOUs →
2. Due dilligence
The buyer investigates everything. What you disclose properly here is what you generally cannot be sued over afterwards, so this is protection rather than paperwork.
Seller’s due diligence checklist →
3. The sale agreement
A share purchase agreement or an asset purchase agreement, running to a hundred pages or so, setting out what you get paid and what you stay liable for.
SPAs and APAs →
4. Completion
The best part – contracts signed, money paid over, and you get to start enjoying your exit.
What you agreed in stage one is what you live with here.
Selling a business →
Not quite ready to sell?
It’s a good place to be.
Planning ahead 2-5 years gives you the best chance of fixing the issues that buyers use to chip away at the purchase price. Things like sorting your statutory books, your key customer contracts, your staff and your accounts.
Each is trivial to fix today, expensive to fix once you’ve accepted an offer.

I’m Steven Mather – a business solicitor who speaks human.
I spend most of my working day on company sales and purchases between £250,000 and £10m, but I can help your business with much more too.
In a world of AI and tech, if you’re buying or selling a business, setting up solid contracts, navigating tricky employee issues, or just want legal advice without the waffle, you probably still want to speak to an actual human.
I help ambitious business owners and directors across the UK with straight-talking, fixed-fee legal advice. If you like jargon, I’m not your man. I provide clear solutions and results, delivered fast and with a smile. Sure, I will use cutting-edge legal tech and AI to help me deliver exceptional service and advice, but I’ll be there, personally, on the end of the ‘phone or email (or Teams call).





Legal advice for small businesses
Buying or Selling A Business
Steven is an experienced M&A Lawyer and specialises in business sales and business purchases under £10m whether as a share purchase or asset purchase.
Commercial Contracts
When your business is growing, you’ll need great contracts – from T&Cs to distribution agreements, joint ventures and much more.
Healthcare Law
Steven has numerous clients in the NHS – GP’s, Dentists, Pharmacists, Care Homes, and other NHS/CQC Entities. Specialist in dealing with NHS partnerships, GMS Contracts and doctors disputes.
Employee Issues
I help business owners make thought through decisions with employees – from contracts of employment and handbooks, to exiting troublesome employees.


Who I help and why clients choose me as their business solicitor
You’re probably a business owner or director who:
- wants legal advice you can actually understand
- values excellent service from an experienced professional and recommended solicitor?
- needs quick, commercial answers – not endless legal lectures
- prefers fixed fees and honest, upfront communication
- likes working with someone who ‘gets’ business, and gets on with it
My typical business sale will be between £250,000 and £10m, although I can deal with higher. I just find I enjoy working with clients in this sector. Honest, decent, people who have worked hard, done well for themselves, and who want a relationship with a solicitor they can trust, that is responsive, provides pragmatic, commercial advice in Plain English and who doesn’t wear a suit.
If you’re facing a legal issue, get in touch – give me a call or drop me an email.

John McLean15/11/23I’ve worked with Steven Mather for over 2 years now, as my corporate/commercial colleague at Nexa Law. I’ve been delighted with his work for my clients. No “corporate posturing” involved, no moody headshot in a glossy brochure designed to intimidate, and no unnecessary point scoring. Just good, commercial, to the point advice. He can cut through to the nub of a problem quickly, and get things done. He is fun to work with (said no-one about a corporate lawyer ever before). I’ve also valued his advice on my own business journey. Steven set up his business a year or so before me and has had lots of value to add to my own growth. Thanks for being a pleasure to work with Steven, and long may that continue.read moreread less

This is the service I received from Stephen , who impressed with his speedy responses (often out of traditional office hours which was really appreciated) and his ability to translate the corporate and legal jargon into layman terms. He was able to simplify and breakdown the agreement into clauses that were not acceptable and clauses that needed different wording or further clarification and explain clearly why this was the case and what this meant to me . The end result was a speedy turnaround of a complex agreement that I felt confident in signingread moreread less
