A knowledgeable and experienced legal partner is critical as companies plan a business merger, sale, or divestiture of assets.

Recognized as a thorough and detail-oriented corporate law firm, Vethan Law Firm strives to help dynamic and growing business clients enhance their commercial reach and scope of the business through mergers and sale of the business or business assets in a seamless transition.

What Is A Merger And Acquisition?

Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are considered complex transactions involving consolidating companies or assets. These strategic moves are pivotal for businesses aiming to grow, diversify, or enhance their market position. A merger often occurs when two companies connect to form a new entity, while an acquisition involves one company purchasing another. Both processes require meticulous planning, negotiation, and legal expertise to secure compliance with regulatory requirements and achieve business objectives.
M&A transactions can take various forms, which include horizontal mergers between companies in the same industry, vertical mergers between companies at different stages of the production process, and conglomerate mergers between companies in unrelated businesses. Each type presents unique challenges and opportunities, necessitating a tailored approach to address specific legal, financial, and operational considerations.

What Documents Do I Need To Gather For Mergers & Acquisitions

Prior to meeting with our attorneys on the merger, business sale, or divestiture, you should have the following category of documents / information available:
  • Financials of the target company, whether it is your business or the other side’s. We are looking for balance sheets, detailed profit and loss statements, and a 24-month register. Tax returns and profit distribution over the past 24 months should also be provided, at a minimum.
  • Customer list: If the transaction involves a full acquisition of the business, a customer list with historic revenues from that customer is essential. Moreover, any issues concerning complaints the customer has with the target business will be important. It must be a disclosure item for either the buyer or the seller.
  • Employee list: If the company to be acquired as a roster of employees, it is critical to identify key employees who helped in the growth and development of the business. It is also necessary to determine if these employees will remain with the company after the acquisition or sale. Finally, discussions must ensue with the control person of the target entity as to whether he or she will assist the purchaser during a transition phase.
  • Assets: If the acquisition involves only identifiable assets of the business, the acquirer must obtain a list of assets, estimated fair market value, condition of repair and operation, and the duty cycle of the asset.
