The business transaction attorneys at Pugliese, Finnegan & Shaffer provide sophisticated legal representation to business purchasers and sellers. The sales or purchase of a business is a complicated transaction that could have severe tax and liability consequences if not properly evaluated and transacted.
If you want to buy or sell a business in Pennsylvania there are many factors that need to be considered. The most prevalent are issues surrounding potential liability (both personal and business) and tax consequences (personal and business).
Each buyer and seller of a business has their unique issues in these areas. For example, is it better to purchase the assets of a business or the whole business? Does it matter if the business is a corporation or a proprietorship? Should I have a corporate entity purchase the business or should I do it personally? These questions are all legitimate and their answers will depend on the unique facts and circumstances surrounding each transaction.
Our attorneys can assist you in determining the best way of structuring your business purchase or sale. We invite you to visit our Firm Overview page to view highlights of some of our qualifications and experience.
