What you need to know when acquiring a business in NY or NJ

Many entrepreneurs who want to be their own bosses take that step by purchasing an existing business. While there are distinct advantages to acquiring an ongoing business with name recognition and a customer base, there can be serious drawbacks too. An apparently thriving enterprise could be saddled with debt from secured creditors, unpaid taxes and judgments from lawsuits.

Your business law firm must perform the due diligence necessary to quantify the value of a particular company as an investment, and either arrive at a reasonable price or warn you off the project. We provide numerous vital services to investors and owner-operators looking to purchase businesses in New York and New Jersey, including:

Document review
Inspecting business and tax records
Addressing operational problems
Investigating the company’s lawsuit history

Analyzing tax consequences of your purchase
Negotiating and drafting purchase and sale documents
Ensuring compliance with all New York or New Jersey requirements for business sale and purchases

The hallmark of our business practice is our personal concern for your success. As your business attorney, we dedicate the time necessary to thoroughly analyze the pros and cons of your proposed purchase so you can make a fully informed decision. We are especially patient with first-time entrepreneurs who may not be aware of all the contingencies they must take into account. We want our clients to be able to rest assured that the business decisions they make are the best ones.
