Business Purchase/Sale Process

Buying or selling a business can be overwhelming and full of complex legal and business terms and procedures. TCLG helps streamline the process and is with you every step of the way to address your concerns and facilitate a smooth transaction.

The typical process for a purchase and sale of a business looks like this:

1. Identify Buyer/Seller
2. Letter of Intent
3. Due Diligence
4. Negotiate/Draft Contract
5. Closing
6. Post-Closing Integration

The contract itself governs the structure and terms of the deal and is usually in the form an Asset Purchase Agreement for purchasing the assets of a business or a Stock Purchase Agreement or Membership Interest Purchase Agreement for purchasing the ownership interest of a Corporation or LLC.
