New Jersey: Business Law Attorneys
Buying a business is an investment of money and time. Selling a business is also a financially risky transaction. Before you enter into a purchase or sale of a business in New Jersey, consult the experienced business law attorneys at the Law offices of Generoso Squitieri.
From our offices in New Jersey, our experienced business law attorneys represent both buyers and sellers in business law transactions. If you are buying or selling any type of small- or medium-sized business, get legal advice from knowledgeable business transaction lawyers.
Sale of a Business
When our business law attorneys represent the seller in a business transaction, we focus our work on:
- Tax clearance: The seller wants to know that he is up-to-date on his tax payments before he walks away. If back taxes are owed, the New Jersey Division of Taxation can come after the former business owner's other property to collect the back taxes. We conduct financial investigations to make sure the seller's tax liability is zero.
- Noncompete agreements: Both parties will want a noncompete agreement that is in their best interest. We have decades of experience negotiating noncompete agreements and know which clauses are highly beneficial to the seller and which should be avoided if possible.
Purchase of a Business
A buyer has different worries. Our attorneys are accustomed to representing either party in a business transaction, and we know how to make sure the deal protects our client's best interests when the client is the buyer:
- Lease negotiations: Your purchase is only as good as the lease that supports it. If you buy a new business with only a two-year lease and the landlord refuses to renew, you have lost a huge investment. We negotiate leases with the landlord ahead of time so our clients can set that worry aside.
- Financing agreement: How will you pay for the business? What will the seller accept? What can you afford now and in the future? We put our negotiation skills to work to help you find financing and craft an agreement that is in your best interest and is acceptable to the seller.
