More how-to tips . . .
Business buyers (and sellers) can save thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars in professional fees by knowing the correct timing to handle some of the topics pertaining to reps and warranties.
Listen to a few dozen tips from
attorney Scott Weavil. Attorney Scott Weavil and Ted Leverette, The Original Business Buyer Advocate, concentrate attention on some of the most important (and risky) aspects of dealmaking: Reps and warranties. Why? Business buyers and sellers (and quite a few professional advisors) don’t adequately understand or early-enough anticipate reps and warranties. It’s a BIG mistake to defer this topic to until contract-time.
Answers to 20 questions from searchers (begin at minute 4:10). You'll hear how business buyers are blindsided by the seller's employees. And how to avoid it.
BIG TIP
I’ll say it again: Before you hire advisors or make offers
to purchase businesses, check out the reputation and the statements
made by the so-called experts and
the owners and key employees of SMBs.
On LinkedIn, for example, don’t limit yourself
to their posts; examine all their activity
(you can see their comments to posts from other people).
“Oh,” you say, “there isn’t much to find on social media about people”?
Consider running; not walking away.
(IMHO) for people (and companies) NOT visible
with useful information on social media,
and from Google searches, you might
wonder how much they actually know about
what they say they know. Or you might wonder
about their (hidden?) agenda for what they want you to do.
