Common Questions
Business purchase and sale questions Aurora clients often ask.
Should Aurora sellers update corporate records before closing?
Yes. Outdated corporate records can delay closing or create questions about authority, ownership, and required approvals.
What is goodwill in a business purchase?
Goodwill can include customer relationships, reputation, systems, phone numbers, websites, trade names, and transition help.
What if a buyer wants a holdback?
Holdbacks can address risk, but the amount, release date, conditions, and dispute process should be clearly drafted.
