Depending upon the type of business assets that you want to purchase, the following are just a few of the things that a potential Buyer should consider:
- Do you need a Nondisclosure Agreement with the Seller?
- Is there an existing Broker/Finder Agreement that affects the transaction?
- Have you determined all of the Related Parties on which due diligence should be performed (Seller, Stockholders/Members, Subsidiaries, or other Affiliated Entities)?
- What is the Lien Status of the property to be conveyed?
- Can the Seller produce a Certificate of Good Standing from the Secretary of State?
- Are there any Third Party Consents required by Contracts with third parties that are to be assigned by Seller and assumed by Buyer?
- Have you reviewed the Seller's Financial Information?
