Buying or selling your business is a more complicated transaction than just buying a pair of jeans or groceries. Our Alcoa, TN business sale lawyer guides you through the complex negotiations, due diligence, and contract review required to purchase or sell your business. We review the proposed transaction, advise you whether it’s in your best business interest, and oversee the closing of the sale. Call Carpenter & Lewis PLLC today for a personalized consultation.
A business purchase agreement is a legal contract that transfers ownership of a business from one owner to another. It outlines the terms and conditions of the sale of the business and all conditions and obligations of each party. Each clause of the contract must be detailed and precise, protecting you whether you’re the buyer or the seller.
That’s how our Alcoa business sale lawyer helps you. We draft strong contracts on your behalf and review all contracts submitted to you for signature. Our goal is to ensure that the contract meets the terms you were willing to pay or sell the business for, and that it includes appropriate protections for non-payment. We review asset and liability transfers to ensure you’re not unfairly burdened. If there’s no indemnity or warranty clause, we typically negotiate one that’s favorable to you. And we also ensure there is a dispute resolution clause. Many business sales go off without a hitch as long as the contract is correct, but we believe in protecting you and your financial interests at every turn.
Our firm also assists with mergers and partial sales of a business’s divisions. We handle the contractual paperwork required for the sale and negotiate the best price, including any transfer of assets and liabilities, on your behalf. We also consider any implications for each company’s stock and account for them in the sales contract. Or, if you’re planning to retain overall ownership of the business, but are selling specific assets, our attorneys negotiate the best price and draft the contract for that sale, too. We stay focused on your business goals, and each step we take is with accomplishing those in mind.
Our thorough knowledge of Tennessee business sale laws and keen eye for contractual details make us the team of legal professionals you want overseeing your business sale. We can negotiate on your behalf, review all contracts and documents presented to you for signature, and complete all required paperwork for the transaction. As your Alcoa business sale lawyer, we’re committed to serving your interests.
