A surprising number of business acquisitions overlook a critical detail: who actually controls the website and domain.
Confirm Domain Ownership Directly
Check the domain's WHOIS record and confirm it's registered to the business itself, not a departing owner's personal account that won't transfer automatically.
Verify Hosting Account Access
Confirm you'll receive genuine administrative access to the hosting account, not just a promise of continued service from the previous owner.
Check Third-Party Service Ownership
Email accounts, analytics access, and any paid tools or subscriptions tied to the business should transfer clearly as part of the sale, documented explicitly.
Get Everything in Writing
Verbal assurances about access and ownership are not a substitute for explicit terms in the purchase agreement itself.
