When you're exiting (that is, selling) your small business, you need to know what's required legally. At last — the finishing line is in sight. Like an over-heated decathlete you can't stop extra disciplines being added to your list of events, including:
-
Raising lots more money for significant growth
-
Creating exponential growth through partnerships and joint ventures
-
Buying or merging with other firms
-
Repeating previous stages of the business with other products (diversifying)
-
Preparing the business for expansion or sale
-
Selling shares or assets
-
Exiting the business
-
Implementing significant "A" or "B" funding rounds
-
Entering joint venture agreements with other partners
-
Constructing acquisition or merger agreements with target companies
-
Implementing legal steps from previous stages of your business's growth for new diversified products
-
Dealing with terms sheets and any buyer's due diligence
-
Contracting to sell all or part of the business as shares or assets
