Business Buying FAQ
Do I need a lawyer before making an offer?
You should involve legal counsel as early as possible, ideally before finalizing your letter of intent. Early guidance helps avoid terms that are costly to unwind later. If you need a draft LOI quickly, our free LOI generator produces a non-binding draft in about 15 minutes — a good starting point before legal review.
Can you help with SBA-financed deals?
Yes. We regularly support buyers using SBA 7(a) financing and coordinate with lenders on required documents and timelines.
Can you help if there is seller financing?
Yes. We can help structure seller notes and related terms so expectations are clear and enforceable.
How long does the legal side usually take?
Most deals take around 60 to 120 days from LOI to close, depending on complexity, financing, and diligence findings.
What happens on the free strategy call?
We discuss your deal goals, stage, and risks, then outline whether we're a fit and what the next legal steps look like.
