Buying a business, or selling your enterprise, is an exciting time for growth and new opportunities. Done right, a business purchase helps you achieve the financial goals you’ve been working toward. However, a business sale is a complex financial and legal transaction that can go disastrously wrong if not properly executed. Our Lenoir City, TN business sale lawyer represents business owners seeking to sell their enterprise and potential buyers seeking to secure the business or division of a business they have their eye on. Our firm handles all the pre-sale due diligence and paperwork required to execute the sale. Call Carpenter & Lewis PLLC today before signing on the dotted line.
Buying or selling a business is a complex transaction, with a lot of moving pieces. Our legal team oversees the entire matter on your behalf, including negotiating the right price (whether you’re the buyer or the seller). We independently value your business or the business assets you want to sell or buy, then advise you on whether the price is fair and workable for your financial situation and goals. And, as your Lenior City business sale lawyer, we take the lead on negotiations and usually get the best deal for our clients.
We set the conditions for the sale and transaction structure, ensuring that both parties are clear on how the process will go, and identify key terms and issues that must be addressed, such as transfers of assets and liabilities. Our attorneys also perform due diligence on your behalf, reviewing all financial records and other commercial documents related to the business. At this point, if we note any issues that could impact the business value or your position, we alert you and take action.
We draft the purchase agreement and bills of sale, as well as any non-compete or non-disclosure agreements, and review all transaction documents presented to you for signature. If necessary, we renegotiate for better terms. We can also hold any money in escrow if you wish. Finally, we oversee the closing process, ensuring the transaction proceeds smoothly and that each party fulfills their contractual obligations.
The purchase agreement for your business sale or purchase is a complex legal document that must be completed in accordance with current Tennessee business sale laws. Our precise attention to detail and keen negotiation skills benefit you in sales negotiations, contract review, and properly closing the sale. We handle every aspect of the transaction on your behalf to ensure it aligns with your business goals.
