Selling your business is a big step and it comes with risks. Offering strong warranties can attract better bids and more buyers, but it also exposes you to potential claims after the sale.
What happens if, after signing the Share Purchase Agreement (SPA), some warranties turn out to be incorrect?
Think of issues like:
• Misbooked financial entries
• Incomplete ownership of shares
• Unpaid taxes
• Other unknown liabilities
These surprises can lead to costly claims from the buyer.
Negotiating warranties can also slow down or even derail the deal.
Aon’s seller insurance, DealSure, protects your deal against unknown risks. With a one-time premium
and a fast, standardized process, you can secure peace of mind and a smooth transaction. DealSure
provides peace of mind and ensures a faster, smoother sales process.
Coverage aligns with the warranties in your SPA. If a claim arises, the insurer—not you—pays. That
means:
• Clean exit: Full protection against claims from warranties in the SPA.
• Competitive bids: Buyers compare offers on equal terms.
• Higher upfront payment: Less need for escrow or deferred payments.
• Faster process: Avoid lengthy negotiations on warranties.
• Confidence: Claims handled by a reputable insurer.
• Professional handling: Objective, efficient, no disputes.
• Better coverage: Longer claim periods (up to 3 years) and higher limits.
• Transparency: Clear terms upfront.
• Streamlined process: Less negotiation on reps, warranties, thresholds.
• Fair competition: All bids start from the same covered position.

smooth sale and a truly clean exit.
