FAQs: Business Transactions
What Business Owners Want to Know Before a Deal
Can a small business handle a sale without an M&A lawyer?
It’s risky. Undisclosed liabilities, sloppy assignments, or vague indemnities can erase value. A focused attorney reduces those risks.
What is due diligence and why is it crucial?
It verifies the business you’re buying. We review finances, contracts, IP, and compliance to prevent unwelcome surprises.
How long does selling a business take?
Plan for a few months. A complete data room and responsive negotiations shorten timelines without sacrificing protection.
