Our Successful Cases

Buying a Business in Denver

Acquiring an established business presents a prime opportunity to step into a venture with a pre-built foundation — existing products or services, a loyal customer base, established operational procedures, and brand recognition. Such an arrangement can expedite your path to profitability and allow you to bypass many of the initial challenges faced by startups.

However, the acquisition process is complicated and demands a thorough understanding of the legal and financial landscape to mitigate potential risks and ensure success. Due diligence is paramount for uncovering hidden liabilities, verifying financial records, and confirming legal compliance.

To this end, our comprehensive suite of services for buyers includes:

  • Initial consultation: We’ll begin by gaining an understanding of your business goals, investment criteria, and risk tolerance. We'll assess the target business, provide an overview of the acquisition process, and answer any questions you have, providing a clear roadmap for a successful transaction.
  • Letter of intent (LOI): Next, we'll carefully draft and review the letter of intent, a crucial document that outlines the key terms of the proposed acquisition. This will set the stage for productive negotiations and a mutually beneficial agreement.
  • Purchase agreement review and negotiation: Our experienced attorneys will meticulously review and negotiate the purchase agreement, advocating for your best interests and ensuring favorable terms related to price, payment structure, contingencies, and representations and warranties.

We'll explain each clause in detail, empowering you to make informed decisions with a complete understanding of the agreement and its implications.

  • Due diligence investigation: Before moving further, we’ll conduct a comprehensive due diligence investigation, delving into the target company’s financials, legal standing, and operational performance.

This in-depth analysis involves reviewing financial records, contracts, leases, permits, and other relevant documents to verify the company's viability, uncover potential liabilities, and assess any hidden risks.

  • Lien and judgment search: Our team will perform a thorough search to identify any existing liens, judgments, or other legal encumbrances that could impact the acquisition and potentially affect the value or ownership of the business.
  • Closing document preparation and review: We’ll prepare and meticulously review all closing documents to guarantee legal accuracy, completeness, and compliance with all applicable regulations. This includes the final purchase agreement, financing documents, title documents, and other necessary paperwork.
  • Representation at closing: We'll be by your side throughout the closing process, advocating for your interests, making sure all legal requirements are met, and addressing any last-minute issues. By doing so, we can help ensure a smooth, efficient transfer of ownership and provide you with confidence and peace of mind.
