Selling a Business

Start with your stage of the sale

• Before approaching buyers: prepare ownership and transaction records and identify issues to address before diligence.
• Negotiating a live offer: sell-side transaction counsel helps define the representation needed for the proposed sale.
• Payment continues after closing: compare earnouts and seller notes and the conditions affecting collection.
• Reviewing continuing exposure: understand caps, baskets and negotiated exceptions before assuming the sale proceeds are final.
