Buying and Selling Businesses

Overview

Acquisition and sale of a business can be a convoluted task involving many variables. Many factors, of both financial and personal nature, tangible and intangible, of short- and long-term effect, should be taken into consideration when contemplating purchase or sale of businesses. At Murashkovskiy Law Firm, we do not limit ourselves to solely legal aspects of these types of transactions; rather, we strive to develop all-inclusive approach to guide and represent our clients at any stage of the process. We are equally competent in both franchised and stand alone business entities. In the event of business acquisition, we conduct a thorough review, commonly known as "due diligence", on behalf of our clients. This review includes meticulous analysis of the business's certified financial records, current and past engagements, prospects of profitability, past litigations and other relevant information. Once the purchasing decision is made, we assist our client with its financing aspect, payments structure and tax implications. Having established strong connections with many leading financial institutions and lenders specializing in funding purchases of business entities, we are able to offer our clientele an access to a large pool of financial resources at very favorable and flexible rates. On the opposite realm – sale of a business – our credentials and expertise meet the highest standards. We employ proven and efficient eight-step approach which consists of: assessment of realistic and adequate price range of the business; tax consequences, depending on legal type of the business; organizing financials to emphasize strong fiscal position of the business; searching for potential buyers; negotiating a deal; signing sales agreement; planning the closing; finally, filing paperwork with the IRS.
