    Key points for acquiring IT consultancy / Digital services

    • •Check client contracts for provisions making them dependent on the identity of the contracting party: most framework agreements require client consent to a transfer
    • •Secure intellectual property ownership: rights assignments signed by employees and freelancers, deposited source code and no pledges over the assets
    • •Check software licences and open-source components used (GPL/AGPL compatibility) before reselling any software
    • •Audit employment risks: non-compliant annual working-day arrangements, overtime, potential reclassification of umbrella-company workers or freelancers as employees, and non-compete clauses
    • •Specify precisely which employees are to transfer in your offer: a court-approved business transfer plan allows you to take on only the consultants assigned to the retained projects
    • •Review SaaS, cloud and hosting contracts (AWS, Azure, GCP), software vendor licences and arrangements for client data (GDPR compliance, data portability and exit arrangements)
    • •Assess the risk of key consultants leaving: have a retention plan ready when submitting your offer
