Due Diligence Red Flags That Every Business Buyer Should Know Before Signing A Purchase Agreement (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Legal due diligence is the process by which a buyer’s attorneys systematically review the legal health of a target business before committing to a purchase. It is not glamorous work, but it is among the most valuable work done in any transaction. The goal is not to find reasons to walk away from a deal—it is to understand exactly what you are buying, identify risks before they become your problem, and negotiate appropriate protections into the purchase agreement. Here are the legal red flags tha
Asset Deal vs. Stock Deal: Choosing The Right Structure And Why It Matters More Than The Purchase Price (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When a buyer and seller agree on a purchase price, many people assume the hard part of the negotiation is over.

The company’s most valuable asset—the thing the buyer is most excited to acquire—may not legally belong to the company at all. This scenario is far more common than most business owners realize. In the United States, intellectual property rights—incl
The 5 Legal Loose Ends That Kill Deals (And How To Tie Them Up Now) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every business owner who has been through an M&A transaction will tell you the same thing: the issues that slowed or killed the deal were almost never the obvious ones. They were not the major lawsuit or the obvious regulatory problem. They were the quiet, overlooked administrative and legal loose ends that had been sitting dormant for years, suddenly thrust under the bright light of buyer due diligence. The good news is that most of these issues are entirely fixable—but only if you identify the
