sale or purchase



If you are considering selling your business or buying a business, the steps leading to smooth transactions are often laid long before the closing. Reach out for a consultation to discuss.


For sellers, your goal is to maximize the business value, and tie up loose ends before sale negotiations start. If you are an owner who is currently working at the business. It may be legitimately hard to let go of the business that you have dedicated so much to. A firm plan will be invaluable to see you and the transaction through.


For buyers, it is helpful to have an understanding of the industry, specific business, valuation, and financing options so that you know what you want to buy. It is not unusual for plans to change as they become more refined.



business housekeeping



Who loves housekeeping? The two most frequent scenarios that we can help with are:


- "Chasing down paperwork". If you know you have been neglecting your records, it can be helpful to have someone go over them to help fill the gaps and set up a system that works for you. You do what you do best (your business) - and we can help with the housekeeping details. Especially if you are anticipating an event such as a loan, business interest sale, or legal action, it may be time for some Spring cleaning.​


- "Getting to the legal 'honey do' list." Let's be honest with ourselves: different people at your company most likely have seemingly non-urgent legal questions that are piling up, unanswered. You can schedule a session to try to get those answered, sometimes on a recurring basis. An ounce of prevention frequently really is better than a pound of cure.
