Consider Before Buying a Business What price and payment method are reasonable for you and acceptable to the seller?

The Acquisition Process
4. Buyer’s due diligence investigation Negotiations 1. Identify & approach candidate 2. Sign the nondisclosure statement 3. Sign letter of intent 5. Draft the purchase agreement 6. Close the Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Ch. 7: Buying an Existing Business Publishing as Prentice Hall final deal 7. Begin the transition 1. Approach the candidate. If a business is advertised for sale, the proper approach is through the channel defined in the ad. Sometimes, buyers will contact business brokers to help them locate potential target companies. If you have targeted a company in the “hidden market,” an introduction from a banker, accountant, or lawyer often is the best approach. During this phase, the seller checks out the buyer’s qualifications, and the buyer begins to judge the quality of the company. 2. Sign a nondisclosure document. If the buyer and the seller are satisfied with the results of their preliminary research, they are ready to begin serious negotiations. Throughout the negotiation process, the seller expects the buyer to maintain strict confidentiality of all of the records, documents, and information he or she receives during the investigation and negotiation process. The nondisclosure document is a legally binding contract that ensures the secrecy of the parties’ negotiations. 3. Sign a letter of intent. Before a buyer makes a legal offer to buy the company, the buyer typically will ask the seller to sign a letter of intent. The letter of intent is a non-binding document that says that the buyer and the seller have reached a sufficient “meeting of the minds” to justify the time and expense of negotiating a final agreement. The letter should state clearly that it is non-binding, giving either party the right to walk away from the deal. It should also contain a clause calling for “good faith negotiations” between the parties. A typical letter of intent addresses terms such as price, payment terms, categories of assets to be sold, and a deadline for closing the final deal. 4. Buyer’s Due Diligence. While negotiations are continuing, the buyer is busy studying the business and evaluating its strengths and weaknesses. In short, the buyer must “do his or her homework” to make sure that the business is a good value. 5. Draft the purchase Agreement. The purchase agreement spells out the parties’ final deal! It sets forth all of the details of the agreement and is the final product of the negotiation process. 6. Close the final deal. Once the parties have drafted the purchase agreement, all that remains to making the deal “official” is the closing. Both buyer and seller sign the necessary documents to make the sale final. The buyer delivers the required money, and the seller turns the company over to the buyer. 7. Begin the Transition. For the buyer, the real challenge now begins: Making the transition to a successful business owner!

The Five Ps
of Negotiating Preparation - Examine the needs of both parties and all of the relevant external factors affecting the negotiation before you sit down to talk. Poise - Remain calm during the negotiation. Never raise your voice or lose your temper, even if the situation gets difficult or emotional. It’s better to walk away and calm down than to blow Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Ch. 7: Buying an Existing Business Publishing as Prentice Hall up and blow the deal. Persuasiveness - Know what your most important positions are, articulate them, and offer support for your position. Persistence - Don’t give in at the first sign of resistance to your position, especially if it is an issue that ranks high in your list of priorities. Patience – Don’t be in such a hurry to close the deal that you end up giving up much of what you hoped to get. Impatience is a major weakness in a negotiation. 7 - 41 In addition to the text
