Business Purchase & Sale

Selling your business may be the most difficult business decision you will ever make. Once the business has matured, or you are ready for the next stage of life, you need clear and impartial advice regarding the impact of the sale.

Unsure Of How To Tackle A Business Purchase And Sale Agreement?

Trying to handle a business purchase and sale agreement, a legally binding contract that states all of the terms and conditions of a sale of a business without any prior experience is like knowingly walking into a field of landmines. There’s a chance you’ll make it to the other side with no issue, but the probability is stacked against you. There are so many things that go into them, including:

• Identifying parties
• Describing the business
• Determining prices and terms
• Delineating assets and liabilities
• Properly representing warranties
• Fulfilling covenants and conditions
• Closing
• Complying with post-closing provisions

However, this is only the process associated with a business purchase and sale agreement. Our team is prepared to help you with a wide range of matters, including but not limited to:

Financing

Securing the financing you need to purchase a business can be incredibly challenging, depending on your specific circumstances. Banks may be hesitant to lend you money to acquire a business, especially if you don’t have much of a track record to fall back on or can’t put up a significant amount of the down payment yourself.

Valuation

The fair market value of a business is always something up for debate, but when it comes to buying or selling a business, you can’t afford to have any major differences in opinion with whoever it is you’re dealing with. This could mean your offer, and your dream of purchasing or selling a business, is dead on arrival.

Due Diligence

Conducting extensive due diligence is a vital part of purchasing a business, but if you are running a business as it is, you probably don’t have time to do it to the degree you need to.

Negotiation Deadlocks

Disagreements over terms, conditions, or the structure of the deal aren’t uncommon. One misstep, should you face these roadblocks, can spell disaster for buying or selling a business. Our team has the experience handling high-stakes negotiations and securing the results our clients want.
