Key Legal Issues that Successful Business People Consider When Selling a Company

Note: A quick read on some key legal issues, but it begs the question “why even link to something like this when there is so little meat on the bones n the answers?” Too often as business owners we get our introduction to issues related to selling our business by taking a deep dive. We go to the two hour program on ESOP’s and get buried in the details of one of a dozen different exit options. We think articles like this are important because they give you a broad sense for the landscape. Then you can choose where to go from there.
Questions the article tackles:
-
Process.
-
Due Diligence.
-
Term Sheet Negotiation.
-
Basic Economics.
-

-
Closing Adjustment.
-
