Agreement For Sale And Purchase Of A Business Purchasing A Sole Trader Business And...?

Purchasing a sole trader business and...? - agreement for sale and purchase of a business

Hello

We have formed a new limited liability company and want to do business by a single operator to buy. However, each company has no connection with the new company and we use the same brand and intends to transfer as smooth as possible.

The problem is that there are still services that were not loaded and some were charged, but has not received the payment. The customs authorities have a total of about 50,000 pounds. Is that what they regarded as "claims"? Requests for a single operator agreements, they continue their unpaid services.

Although we will inform the customer about the change of ownership, and invited them to confuse the payments to various bank accounts of May, we make an agreement between the individual employer and our business, but we have concerns about taxes.

- Can we accept payment for their services on the basis of your bills and transfer the amount received directly from him? What is the tax on such payments, the first point to pay into the bank account of the company?
- Ca deduction from a tax surcharge on transfers?
- Can we direct payments to an account other than your old account was used in the past as a single operator will be?
- Do we understand the terms in connection with this agreement in the purchase agreement or a separate agreement for that?
- Or is there another way to not outstanding merits of the former owner (individual entrepreneurs) manage to confuse the customers?

Thank you very much
