Benefits
An owner who plans to sell the business in a few years should now consult with advisors and take important steps that will make the business saleable, maximize the purchase price, and make easier the negotiations and the closing of a deal. The result of these efforts will benefit the company regardless of whether a sale ever materializes.
When the time comes for starting the process of marketing the business, a business owner should consult with, and coordinate the efforts of, a business broker, a tax accountant and/or tax attorney, an attorney skilled in the area of buying and selling businesses and specialists appropriate to particular areas of concern, such as environmental engineers, intellectual property attorneys, human resources experts, labor law and ERISA specialists.
For a potential buyer it is also vital to assemble and coordinate a similar team of advisors.
If you are contemplating the sale, or purchase of a business or if you represent or advise potential sellers or buyers, this seminar will help you sharpen your skills and be more effective in the negotiations and managing the transaction process. This seminar is unique - it will cover not only the customary areas, such as of valuation, important tax planning issues, asset purchases vs. stock purchases, but also the following:
