Negotiating the Offer

Every transaction is unique, and there’s no substitute for experience. An offer is the first step toward closing your sale – but it’s not the last. Our team understands what’s at stake for you, and we’ll do whatever it takes to ensure your negotiations go as smoothly as possible.

Process

  1. We solicit offers from our shortlist of buyers and negotiate with all parties to maximize your price and terms.
  2. We negotiate a favorable transaction structure in concert with your tax and legal advisors.
  3. We coordinate with your M&A attorney and accountant to structure the sale.

We Help You

  • Reduce the chance of delays
  • Minimize the potential for renegotiations
  • Mitigate risks in closing your sale

Directing Due Diligence

During due diligence, buyers confirm the information you’ve presented. They will review financials, analyze your operations, examine the legal aspects of your business, and assess other areas of your company.

While this may seem overwhelming, Morgan & Westfield is with you every step of the way.

We manage the due diligence process and:

  • Anticipate and prevent potential problems
  • Create solutions to challenges, obstacles, or delays
  • Coordinate resources and services
  • Populate and organize the online data room
  • Keep the parties on track to avoid delays

  2. We coordinate the final drafts of your closing documents.
  3. We direct activities between your attorney, accountant, landlord, escrow agent, and other parties.
