After years of work in a business, it can be quite profitable to sell it. Being acquired by a larger company is something that many hope for. The sale can be complicated, however. There are Federal and New Jersey laws concerning mergers, acquisitions, negotiations and securities exchanges that must be followed.
How Do I Sell a Business?
To sell a business there must be an offer, whether it is solicited or not. Purchase agents in Bayonne not only help to secure an offer, but also lends advice about which offers are worthwhile to consider. Preparing financial records to comply with New Jersey and Federal law is necessary and will help determine the proper value for the rights you are selling. As a final step, an agreement for the purchase will be reached, usually in the form of a written contract. It should be reviewed by all parties to ensure that what was agreed upon is accurately presented.
What Will I Give Up in the Business?
The sale of a business is simply the transfer of a right known as "control". The party with control of a business directs its operations and can use the business property as it sees fit. Since buyers in Bayonne are generally concerned with acquiring control, they may be willing to allow other rights, such as the right to future earnings, to remain with the seller in exchange for the cheapest price on the right of control. These particularities make negotiations vital, during which each party should use the opportunity to voice their intentions and concerns.
How Can an Attorney Help?
The law in New Jersey places certain demands on parties who want to sell a business. Attorneys in Bayonne are qualified to advise you in this process and ensure that the sale is in compliance with the law.
Another lawyer said my case would take weeks of work and require thousands of dollars of research. Howard pointed to a very fundamental clause in the contract, wrote a letter to termite the contract and dealt with all responses from the opposing parties attorney. Very cut and dry for a fraction of the fees. Highly recommended.
An excellent Attorney with a keen legal mind. He is attentive, responsive and his fees very reasonable!
