Obtaining accurate information is a critical factor in the analysis of any business prior to confirming the intended acquisition. We highly recommend that you conduct a due diligence investigation and business evaluation of a prospective business or corporation before confirming the purchase. Carman Law Firm, PA, will ensure that all material issues are addressed and all relevant information about the target business or corporation is taken into account to ensure the client’s ability to make an informed decision.

Effectively Negotiating a Purchase

If you are considering buying an existing business or establishing a new one, you need an experienced business law attorney who can help you develop a strategic plan that will consider your business’s potential for success and minimize the risks involved. We work with real estate and business brokers, accountants and other specialists to ensure that all important considerations are taken into account.

We can help answer all your questions such as:

  • Should I buy an existing business or establish a new business?
  • Should I buy a franchise or an independent business?
  • What are the pros and cons in buying just the assets of another business instead of the stock of the seller’s corporation?
  • When a buyer purchases the stock of a corporation, does the buyer assume the liabilities of the business?
