Buying or Selling a Business

Whether you are buying an existing business instead of building one from scratch, expanding your business or even selling your business, the first step is to make sure you are fully aware of what you are buying/selling and the terms and conditions of the purchase.

We will assist you in every step of the way – from preparing a due diligence checklist, to negotiating and drafting the terms of the agreement to preparing a closing checklist.  The types of services we provide include:

• Drafting a confidentiality agreement
• Preparing a due diligence checklist, conducting and reviewing the information
• Drafting the initial term sheet or letter of intent
• Assisting in the analysis of what is being sold (whether the entire business or its assets)
• Working with you on how to best structure the sale or purchase
• Negotiating and drafting the purchase agreement
• Hiring of existing employees (if relevant)
• Preparing a closing checklist
• Creating the new entity (if applicable)
