When you decide to buy or sell a business there is a long list of factors to consider, as poor planning could lead to serious problems in the months and years to come. At SAC Attorneys LLP, we are experienced in all aspects of purchasing or selling an existing company, and we understand the importance of protecting our clients’ best interests throughout the process.
For nearly 15 years, our firm has been helping clients throughout the Santa Clara Valley with a variety of business concerns, including buying and selling businesses. With more than 50 years of combined legal experience, our attorneys are equipped to conduct a comprehensive analysis of your financial situation and a full review of the company in question. Both are crucial to not only the transaction itself but also to the long-term financial health of all parties involved.
When you buy an existing business, you take on a number of responsibilities, some of which may be unexpected. You could be held accountable for considerations such as back taxes, outstanding debts, and other liabilities, which must be factored into your decision to buy.
Silicon Valley is home to thousands of small and medium-sized businesses, and prospects to purchase a company arise quite often, as either an acquisition or a relatively straightforward change of ownership. Our attorneys have the knowledge and skills to help you evaluate each opportunity so that you can be certain you are making a sound business decision. We can also help you in securing financing, restructuring the business as needed, and drafting all of the necessary documents and contracts.
Selling your business is not a decision to be made lightly. While some business owners develop a succession plan that includes an intention to sell years in advance of the actual sale, many owners decide to sell when faced with challenging circumstances or changes in their chosen industry. At SAC Attorneys LLP, our attorneys assist business owners through every step of the sales process. We will help you negotiate the terms of the sale so that your interests are fully protected. Our lawyers will also address any existing contracts or agreements, such as commercial leases, that could limit your ability to sell your company.
