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:

1. Process.

2. Due Diligence.

3. Term Sheet Negotiation.

4. Basic Economics.

5. Earn-Out.

6. Closing Adjustment.

7. Taxes.

8. Structure.

9. Ongoing Ownership.

10. Employees.

11. Closing.

12. Consents.

13. Representations.

14. Indemnification.

15. Escrow.
