CNE permit transfer
When you buy or sell a gas station, the permit does not come with it automatically: the transfer requires authorization from the CNE. We handle it end to end — without interrupting operations or inheriting hidden liabilities.
From agreement to authorization
- Permit due diligence: status, outstanding obligations and contingent liabilities
- Transfer strategy between buyer and seller
- Preparing and filing the application with the CNE
- Updating the ASEA documentation for the new operator
- Closing with the station still in operation
The transfer requires prior authorization from the CNE — it is not an exhibit to the purchase agreement.
The permit keeps its original term (30 years from the date it was issued).
Fees depend on scope — we size them in the assessment. Timelines depend on the agency.
Five steps, one point of accountability
Due diligence
We review the permit, its outstanding obligations and its contingent liabilities before anyone signs.
Strategy
We define the transfer path and the closing sequence.
Documentation
We assemble the transfer application with both parties.
CNE follow-up
We file the application and respond to deficiency notices until the authorization is granted.
Closing and continuity
We update the ASEA documentation and leave the operation in compliance.
A station whose documentation is in order is worth more — and one whose documentation is not in order can cost you double after closing. That is why a permit transfer starts with due diligence, not at signing.
