Preparing for cash-out offers in business sales
When an unplanned buy-out or merger comes up, assess real interest and means, protect trade secrets, and avoid sharing sensitive data. If discussions look serious, use a confidentiality agreement and attorney review, aiming for a win-win deal rather than a pure win-lose agenda.
