Business transactions
Buying and selling a business in Michigan
Have a purchase agreement in hand? Send it to us before you sign. We handle due diligence, the agreement and the closing, including any licenses that come with the business.
From first offer to closing
A business purchase is more than one document. The purchase agreement, the lease, financing, any licenses and the agreements between owners all have to line up, and they have to happen in the right order.
We represent buyers and sellers, spell out the risks before they become problems, and keep the deal moving to closing.
What we help with
Letters of intent and negotiating the terms of the deal
Due diligence on the business, its contracts, its real estate and its licenses
Drafting and negotiating asset and entity purchase agreements
Liquor and lottery license transfers and local approvals that come with the business
Closing the transaction and the paperwork afterward
Before you sign
A purchase agreement that leaves out what happens if financing or approvals fall through can be costly to fix. Send it to us first, and we will tell you what we would change.
This page is general information, not legal advice. Every transaction is different.
Talk to us first
Before you sign, call us.
It costs far less to plan a deal than to fix it afterward. Tell us what you're working on and we'll tell you what to expect.
