Could a sale of shares be subject to the National Credit Act?
14 December 2016
My company holds shares in a larger construction company worth about R5 million. I’m looking at selling my shares to... an interested party that the construction company is also happy with. However, the party can only pay a deposit of R1,5 million and thereafter the remainder in monthly installments over a period of 18 months with an interest of prime plus 1%. My bookkeeper says I must be wary of falling under the National Credit Act. Could this be a possibility?
