Business Sales & Acquisitions
Selling your business?
One of the first, and most crucial steps, in the process of selling your business is that of recasting your financial statements. What does this mean?
You've worked hard and wisely to minimize your taxes. You've provided yourself and your family financial rewards, put your children or other family members on the payroll, and reinvested your profits back into capital improvements. All this to keep as much of your business profits and assets in you and your family's hands, and out of the hands of the tax agencies.
Buying a business?
In reality, you’re not buying a business. You’re buying either that business’s tangible assets, customers, their talent (i.e., employees), or their profits. In the best situation you're buying all four.
The acquisition of a business can be a life-changing event involving a large financial commitment and a considerable amount of your time. Performing the proper due diligence is critical to obtaining the facts and accurate information required to make intelligent decisions and reduce your potential risks.
From a buyer's perspective, due diligence refers to the investigation and verification of information involved in a potential investment or acquisition. Doing the homework collecting the necessary legal, financial, and operational documents, and confirming the seller representations and material facts pertaining to the business sale are all part of the due diligence process.
Developing the appropriate due diligence process for your potential purchase is as much art as it is science.
