Selling a business is a significant decision, involving numerous legal, financial, and operational considerations. Ensuring a smooth and beneficial transaction requires meticulous planning and expert legal guidance. At Substance Law, we have experience in assisting business owners throughout the sale process, ensuring their interests are protected and the sale is executed seamlessly.
The Intricacies of Business Sales
From valuations to contracts, due diligence to negotiations, selling a business involves multiple stages and potential challenges. With Harrison Jordan at the forefront, Substance Law offers comprehensive legal services, guiding business owners through each step and ensuring a successful sale.
A key determination is whether to structure the transaction as an asset sale or a share sale. An asset sale involves the transfer of specific company property, while a share sale transfers ownership of the entire corporation, including its liabilities. This decision carries significant legal and tax implications for both parties involved.
Protecting Your Interests in the Sale
Every business sale is unique, with its own set of challenges and opportunities. At Substance Law, we tailor our approach to each client’s specific situation, ensuring that their interests are prioritized and potential pitfalls are proactively addressed.
A foundational step often involves drafting a Letter of Intent or Term Sheet. This preliminary document outlines the main terms, including purchase price, conditions for closing, and payment structure. A properly prepared LOI provides a clear roadmap for negotiations and helps prevent future disputes.
