Buying & Selling Business
If you are considering buying or selling a business, our attorneys will be able to assist you through the whole process. Buying or selling a business can be scary... maybe even a new experience. Our attorneys at Fiffik Law Group, PC will allow you to start this exciting chapter with ease by helping you buy/sell your business.
The buying and selling process can be complex and involves many questions. How do you value the business? How do you market it? How do you negotiate with a potential buyer or seller? What are the tax consequences? What steps do you take to close the deal? These are just a few of the issues that must be addressed. All too frequently a business owner or buyer travels partway down the acquisition road without involving professionals with the result, at worst, of creating major problems and, at best, depriving themselves of the substantial benefits of preliminary professional analysis and planning. Our business lawyers have facilitated the purchases and sale of many businesses.
