As you search for an ongoing business to purchase, there are several types of forms that you may encounter, so we think it wise to understand a few of the most common documented forms, with a brief explanation of each. We highly recommend that you seek advice from your business attorney and/or accountant to make sure that you are protected and your chances for success increased.
With that in mind, from EXITADVISOR.COM, here is an end-to-end collection of sales documents to peruse: contract templates, sales agreements, form letters, checklists, and presentations. It is probably worth it ($59) to go ahead and purchase the complete set here: https://exitadviser.com/templates.aspx.
Now, in all fairness, we do receive a small commission from the company that created this set, but that is definitely not our primary reason to recommend a purchase. We sincerely believe that a general understanding of these types of forms will save much more than the price you pay, as you learn to work with your professional team when you are ready to purchase a business and beyond.
