Before a business acquisition can take place, it is important that you are properly prepared. In the preparation phase, your personal requirements and wishes are formulated. This applies to both the party that wants to sell a company and the party that wants to buy a company. First of all, it is important to determine which business activities the company engages in, on which market the company is active and how much you want to receive or pay for the company. Only when this is clear, the acquisition can be crystallized. After this is determined, the legal structure of the company and the role of the director(s) and shareholder(s) must be investigated. It must also be determined whether it is desirable for the acquisition to take place at once or gradually. In the preparation phase it is very important that you do not allow yourself to be led by emotions, but that you take a well-considered decision. The lawyers at Law & More will help you with this.
