How do you manage business success? How do you make sure you can keep meeting your financial goals and insure your employees’ future? Many businesses look to expand by acquiring other companies to diversify their services and reducing competition. If you are considering this approach for your business, think about the legal requirements of buying a business. What financial information should one get on a business? Financial statements for at least the previous five years are recommended so people have a clear idea of a business’ current state as well as the recent evolution of its income and expenses. This includes all income streams as well as payroll, tax liability and overhead. What other information is necessary to make a good decision? Get or create an organizational chart that covers all people and work involved in the company. This will help buyers figure out all of the concerns that must be tended to after a business is sold. For example, a list of employees will reveal benefit expenses and other related liabilities. How can a company’s relations to other entities be discovered? It is often best to review all contracts that a company has entered into, either with unions or other similar business entities. It is also advisable to review tax audit information if available so one can rectify internal reports with what is expected by the government. Can I get help to buy a new business? It is always a good idea to retain legal representation when engaging in business transactions. An attorney can indicate all of the positive and negative risks involved with business litigation.
