Buying a Business in Connecticut or New York

At Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara, LLC, we know that when you decide to buy a business that already exists, you automatically assume many responsibilities, some of which you might not have anticipated or expected. For example, you could be responsible for concerns such as unpaid property taxes, outstanding debt, and other obligations—all of which should be taken into account before you agree to purchase a business.

There are thousands of small and medium-sized businesses in the Metro New York area, which means that the opportunity to buy an existing company is likely to arise fairly frequently. Such opportunities may present themselves as a possible acquisition or a direct ownership change. Our lawyers have the resources and knowledge to assist you in evaluating each potential opportunity to ensure that you make a well-informed, educated decision. We will also work with you in obtaining the necessary capital, restructuring the business if needed, and drafting all of the required contracts and documents.

At Ivey, Barnum & O'Mara, LLC, we offer skilled guidance to business owners at every stage of the sales process. Our lawyers will assist you in negotiating the terms of the transaction to ensure that your best interests and your rights are protected. We will also help you manage existing agreements or contracts, including supplier contracts or a commercial lease agreement, that could threaten to stall the sale.
