How Can We Help You?
Guidance in Buying or Selling a Business in North Carolina
As a business owner or manager, choosing to sell your business is one of the most pivotal decisions you will ever make. You will need to decide how much you are willing to sell for, whether you want to sell part or all of your business, and if you wish to remain involved with the company once the transaction has been completed.
Whether you are looking to buy or sell a business, you will need to perform thorough due diligence to confirm the validity and legality of the transaction. Our Charlotte business law lawyer can help negotiate and facilitate complex purchases and sales of business assets.
Our team at De Nittis Law can represent you in each stage of a business sale:
- Preliminary Negotiations. We will work with other professionals, including accountants and appraisers to conduct due diligence and establish the company's value, assets, and liabilities. Our team will work to secure the best possible deal and clarify any issues that may arise during the due diligence investigation. We will procure all necessary approvals, including regulatory and stakeholder approvals.
- Formal Agreement. If negotiations are successful, both parties will begin to define the terms of the transaction, including the sale price. We can prepare and negotiate sale agreements and verify their validity and legality.
- Closing. Once all parties agree to the terms of the sale agreement, the closing process will begin. This involves signing and executing all relevant legal documents. Our team will facilitate the signing and notarizing of all documents necessary to complete the transaction. We will also confirm that all funds are promptly and accurately transferred to the appropriate parties.
