FAQ
Common questions
Do you represent buyers and sellers in business acquisitions?
+
Yes, both, just never on the same deal. We run point from the LOI through closing: diligence, purchase agreement negotiation, financing coordination, and deal structure.
How does billing work for a transaction?
+
It depends on the deal. Some matters are billed hourly, others as a flat fee, and larger transactions sometimes include a performance fee tied to closing. Whatever the structure, we agree on it upfront.
What if the business comes with a lease or property?
+
It is common for a business acquisition to involve a lease assignment or property purchase, and we handle that alongside the deal itself.
