Helping You Buy Your Business

Buying a small to mid-size business is the dream of many entrepreneurs but the path to making that dream a reality is complicated, stressful and risky. When representing a purchaser of a business, it is critical that due diligence be performed prior to the closing. It is important to have a thorough review of all of the company's financial records, contracts and leases, employee records and benefits, customer information, supplier agreements and any other documents, as well as a lien search on the assets you will be buying to make sure there are no liens. We will coordinate with your accountant and the rest of your professional team to complete the due diligence review thoroughly and on time. We will assist with the assignment of the lease for the location and obtaining the consent of the landlord, or the review, revision and negotiation of a new lease for your business. Let us help you avoid the costly mistake of buying liabilities and risks for which you didn't bargain.

Helping You Sell Your Business

Making the decision to sell your business is a difficult one as you have to determine what the business is worth, weigh competing offers and negotiate business, financial and legal terms that will determine whether the sale is consummated successfully. When representing a seller of a business we make sure that our client's interests are protected, that the representations and warranties provided in the documents are appropriate, that the transaction proceeds smoothly and quickly, that any excluded assets are protected, and that any seller financing is properly documented.

Helping You Buy or Sell a Franchise Business

Selling or buying a franchise has some additional issues and requirements. If you are a franchisee selling your business, you need to obtain the consent of your franchisor and your landlord. We will incorporate the necessary franchise related clauses and important contingencies into the purchase agreement to protect you.

If you are a franchisor, we make sure that the purchaser has properly submitted all required applications and executed all required franchise agreements or assignments of franchise agreements. We also confirm that all post-closing liabilities and assets of the business, including obligations to the franchisor or the selling franchisee, are transferred to the new owner.
