Selling Your Business? Get an Honest Deal with Our Support.
Thinking about selling your California business within a few years? Start getting your business ready now with our support.
If you decide it’s time to move on from your business within the next few years, Adams Corporate Law can help you prepare your business now to assure a smooth transaction and support an attractive sale price. We can support you through every step of the process. We have decades of experience in California corporate transactions, which includes assisting business sellers with important preparations that can help them get the best possible deal.
Adams Corporate Law can help you arrange necessary details that can strengthen your ability to sell a company on your terms. Any buyer will expect to find a business with its legal house in order. If your primary assets are not legally owned and protected, or if there are loose ends with potential liabilities, this will detract from a buyer’s interest in buying your California business and will have a negative impact on pricing.

Meet Our AttorneysHow Adams Corporate Law, Inc. Can Help You Prepare to Sell
Buyers, in most cases, purchase a business because something about it will add value to what they already own. That value can amount to assets that the selling company owns, or it may simply be the value of eliminating a competitor.
In either case, the seller can have the advantage in negotiations if they have a complete corporate book, all permits and licenses in place, all contracts signed with protective provisions in place, and with all assets and intellectual property protected and confirmed owned by the business with the right to transfer and sell. Any buyer will conduct due diligence on your business and you do not want them to uncover problems during the transaction. Let Adams Corporate Law conduct that due diligence now, before you are ready to sell, when you still have plenty of time to address any deficiencies.
