Some business owners buy an existing business to reduce their risk when launching a new venture. Sellers only get one shot to harvest what they have spent a lifetime building. Whether you are the Buyer or the Seller, people need experienced legal advice and financial planning to achieve the best results. As a Syracuse M&A attorney, I can provide the guidance and support you need for a successful transaction.
“… Matt provided quality legal strategy and counsel at a time my company was growing more than 100% a year. His fast-paced work was flawless and made it easier for us to be prepared for an eventual acquisition.”
Brian Cohen | Professional Angel Investor, Author
You may be looking to cash out after a lifetime spent building up your business, fund your retirement, or help provide for your children or grandchildren. You may be interested in transitioning your business to your adult children or your trusted employees.
Buying a business allows you to become your boss, and build up assets for the future. You must have a lawyer who understands business valuation, due diligence investigations, employee benefits, regulatory compliance, the tax implications of the transaction, and how to read financial statements and business tax returns to ensure you get the best deal.
Mergers and acquisitions are not “cookie cutter”. Buyers shouldn’t always automatically prefer Asset Purchases, for instance.
Changing a business’s corporate ownership might require the company to enter into new leases, license agreements, portfolio company, or government registrations, or else face an interruption of revenues.
Financing is also usually an issue – will your buyer have cash, or require bank or seller financing? Is the seller willing to take back a note for a portion of the purchase price? What about security and collateral?
Partnership and Buy-Sell agreements are often involved in these transactions. Will the owner stay on as a consultant? For how long?
Each case is unique. Put our corporate law experience to work evaluating your options, including private equity funds.
