Help With Florida Business Sales and PurchasesCertainty
When you buy or sell a business you want to be very careful. "Legal Due Diligence" is a term lawyers use for the steps taken to ensure full knowledge and understanding of the transaction, the parties, the likelihood for success or problems, and all other relevant issues. This is our strong point. Our experience in this work has taught us the many, many factors that should be investigated. Parties to such transactions are expected to be forthcoming with documentation, records, and any information that you might reasonably be concerned about and ask for. We are extremely thorough, as you will see from the checklists and data forms we use in every transaction. Example include: - Confirm that the party offering the business for sale has the legal right to do so
- Obtain or transfer necessary licenses or permits
- Review any commercial leases and establish a relationship with the property owner if necessary
- Thoroughly search the public record to unveil any liens, encumbrances or judgments against the business
For buyers, bank and financial records may be the most important - has the business been profitable? For Sellers we write chattel mortgages - in which some of the business assets, such as books or equipment - are secured with a lien until the seller is completely paid. The secret to our success is our thoroughness. We do the worrying, and the work, so you don't have to. Experience
In addition to the processes we have established to ensure your peace of mind, our experience will benefit you greatly. As attorneys in this practice area, we have gained business savvy that you will not want to be without. Many attorneys are experienced in handling Real Estate matters, but a business transaction is different. The documentation is created specific to your deal, we do not have a cookie cutter approach to the work we produce for our clients. This means that your needs will be treated individually too with your best interests as our goal. You may not be aware of the possibilities. Often, our sellers want to retain a relationship with the new business owner, perhaps as a consultant or employee, and we help establish the parameters of that relationship as well as handle the details of the financial transaction.
