FAQ - Pharmacy Law
How long can I expect a pharmacy sale or purchase to take?
The length of the process will depend on the way you intend to fund the transaction and also the type of transaction it is (selling shares in a company or assets of the business). Usually a share sale transaction with bank funding will take 3 or 4 months, and asset sale will typically take between 4 or 5 months, due to the NHS change of ownership requirements.
