Why do I have to complete a Non-Disclosure Form?
- A Non-Disclosure Agreement provides business owners with information from you that tells them you are legitimately interested in their business. It gives them confidence that you will not disclose their important and often proprietary business practices as you investigate their business opportunity and it helps to protect their business assets in a competitive marketplace.
Why do I have to fill out a Buyer’s Worksheet?
- Some of our Sellers insist on confirming that any prospective Buyer / Investor has the funds necessary to purchase the business. They will allow sharing the business name and information only after a Prospective Buyer / Investor has completed and shared a Buyer’s Worksheet.
Records
Although you will receive private information, often documents like tax returns and leases are only shared with Buyers / Investors as part of Due Diligence after an offer is made and accepted. Make sure when you make an offer that you can get back any down payment if the business fails to satisfy Due Diligence requirements.
Take a minute to review our Seller Information Release Process. Each business is a little different so this is a guideline but helps you understand when to expect certain types of information as you progress through the buying process.
Further
Some Business Owners do not always have detailed records. Some listings will say Owner To Prove or Owner Estimate. Carefully assess the records you receive.
