Wisconsin Business Sales Agreements
Buying or selling a business is one of the most significant decisions an entrepreneur can make. Whether you’re acquiring a new venture or transitioning out of an existing one, the process is complex and filled with potential legal challenges. At Schloemer Law Firm, S.C., we specialize in helping Wisconsin business owners navigate these transactions with confidence and ease.
Why Legal Guidance is Essential
Business transactions involve more than just a handshake and a signed agreement. From conducting due diligence to drafting contracts, every step requires careful attention to detail to ensure compliance with Wisconsin laws and to protect your interests. Without proper legal guidance, you risk encountering unforeseen liabilities, disputes, or regulatory issues that could jeopardize the deal or your business’ future.
Due diligence is critical to uncover any hidden risks, such as outstanding debts or pending litigation.
For example, purchase agreements must clearly outline the terms of the sale, including:
- Confidentiality restrictions
- Transfer of specified assets
- Assumption or exclusion of liabilities
- Transfer of goodwill and intellectual property, including the business name, website, social media, phone numbers, etc.
- Employee matters must be addressed, such as transition of employees, benefits, and liabilities
- Non-competes for exiting owners and key employees
- Payment structure
These are just a few of the many reasons why working with an experienced Wisconsin business attorney is essential.
