Steven Mather Solicitor
A free plain English guide to selling an owner-managed business: the stages, where deals get stuck, and which documents actually matter. Written for owners, not for solicitors.

It is written for owners rather than for other solicitors, so there is no Latin and very little law for its own sake.
