Purchase & Sale of Businesses and Business Interests

CherisLaw has purchased and sold dozens of businesses and business interests in transactions from $25,000 to $225,000,000. Sam is experienced in helping negotiate all of the aspects of the transaction, including the purchase price, the allocation of risks between the parties and earn-out provisions for post-closing payments.

Sam's background in accounting and finance allows him to appropriately deal with the business and tax consequences of the transaction. He has handled asset and stock purchases and sales as well as various forms of mergers.

To optimize the sales price of a business, a plan for the sale should start well before the business is listed. It is necessary to clean up any accounting and tax issues, solidify client and supplier relationships, arrange for the continuance of key employees and remove as many risk contingencies as possible. Sam can help the client go through this process and achieve a better sale.
