What is the Process of Selling a Business?
Buying or selling a business is a very specific process with many necessary documents. Before the sale, both the potential buyer and the potential seller must sign a non-disclosure agreement, ensuring that all information remains confidential. Then, the parties will agree to the terms of purchase so a purchase agreement can be written. A business broker may use a standard form, but our team of business attorneys will draft both of these documents from scratch to protect your interests.
Our team will also create a letter of intent showing your intention to buy or sell your business. This document protects the seller during the due diligence process and establishes a timeline for the sale, including a purchase agreement and a closing date. This letter also protects the buyer, ensuring that the seller will not entertain other offers during due diligence. Once this document has been signed, the buyer will start the due diligence process to learn about the business and potential risks before signing a final contract.
The purchase agreement that our team will draft for you is essential to any business sale or purchase. This agreement details what is being sold, how it’s being sold, who is buying it, and at what price. Both buyers and sellers can rely on the warranties included in a purchase agreement. Similarly, any necessary conditions like licenses, permits, or other contracts will be included in the agreement to avoid legal issues later. It is essential to consult an experienced attorney when drafting these documents to protect your legal needs.
Once the purchase agreement is signed, the buyers can take ownership of the business from the seller. If any issues arise in the business acquisition, our team can assist you in resolving them to close the deal. Because of our extensive experience in business law, we know how to come up with creative solutions to problems that could prevent a deal from being made.
