Have the sale scope written down
Ask whether the proposal covers the building, equipment, a company or other business assets. Have seller and advisers describe components and any separate prices. A riad described as a guesthouse does not by itself define the legal transaction.
Reconcile two files without merging them
ANCFCC property sources and tourism texts concern different documents. Have property references, operator, capacity, used spaces and administrative decisions examined. Ask the authority or adviser what an ownership, operator or structure change would mean. This guide assumes no automatic authorisation transfer.
Check the proposed business data
If operations are part of the discussion, request authorised period-specific bookings, cancellations, receipts, payouts, costs and agreements. Match figures to evidence rather than one declared occupancy rate. Separate future bookings, money already received and commitments to fulfil, and clarify their treatment in the sale proposal.
Prepare a documented handover
Request equipment inventory with declared condition, relevant contracts and digital access to handle under the chosen structure. Identify who deals with unresolved matters after handover. Compare proposed price, immediate spending and timing on the same scope. A viewing and advertisement are neither an operating audit nor a performance guarantee.
