Thinking about buying or selling an existing business? Here are some things you should know before you take the plunge.

It stands to reason that, if you have a business, you need to take steps to protect your business interests.  For example, courts recognize trade secrets, confidential information, customer lists, pricing methods, sales, and marketing strategies as legitimate business interests worthy of protection.  One way to protect your business interests is to have an attorney draft a non-compete agreement.  But, before you go down that road, make sure there is a legitimate need for one.  Recently, there is a movement away from upholding non-competes and so if you chose to have one drafted, make sure your lawyer does it the right way.

Shrewd business owners know one simple truth about negotiating a business deal: if you aren’t watching your own back, no one is; especially not the other guy. Even if the other side is saying all the right things, you owe it to yourself to make sure the deal goes the way you need it to go.
