Selling a Business

Turn your hard work into a clean, confident exit.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do before accepting a letter of intent?

Review the economics behind the headline price—cash at closing, seller notes, earnouts, escrows and working capital—plus exclusivity and timing. Those terms carry into the purchase agreement.

Asset sale or stock sale—which is better for a seller?

It depends on taxes, liabilities, contracts and what the buyer will accept. Sellers often prefer equity sales and buyers often prefer asset purchases, so structure is negotiated early.

How long does it take to sell a business?

Timelines vary widely. Preparation, diligence, financing and negotiation of the purchase agreement all affect how long it takes to reach closing.
