Acquire a Mexican company

Compare share and asset acquisitions in Mexico. Plan due diligence, transaction documents and the corporate or operational records that may need to change.

Compare share and asset acquisitions

Buying into an existing Mexican company can give a buyer access to established operations, employees, customers or suppliers. The first question is whether the transaction should transfer an interest in the company or specific assets and operations.

  • Share acquisition

    Review the ownership interests to be transferred, the corporate approvals and the obligations that remain with the entity after the transaction.

  • Asset acquisition

    Identify the property, contracts, intellectual property and operations included in the transaction. Review transfer and consent needs for each class of asset.

  • Due diligence

    Review tax, labor and social security records, debts and key customer or supplier contracts before agreeing to the transaction terms.

Planning steps

Plan the transaction

  1. Define what will transfer

    Agree on the shares or assets in scope, the parties and the operations the buyer intends to continue.

  2. Review findings and documents

    Use the diligence findings to review the purchase agreement, approvals, asset schedules and any required assignments or consents.

  3. Coordinate closing and updates

    Plan signatures, the transfer records and post-closing changes to registrations, contracts or operational responsibilities.
