The deposit amount should be reasonable in relation to the total purchase price and refundable under certain conditions. It is strongly recommended that buyers have a pharmacy solicitor review the terms of any deposit agreement before signing and making any payment.

Your solicitor should provide a due diligence questionnaire, which will ask about the business, employees, property, operations, insurance, and financial matters.
