Protecting a company’s most important assets is a crucial step that needs to be considered years before taking your business to market. But how do you protect assets that you may not be able to see, or at best that exist only on a piece of paper or on a hard drive? We’ll tell you how.
Join us on this last installment to our three-part series on the legal perspective to preparing a business for sale where we host Joanna Oakey and resident M&A expert Fiona Yiend of Aspect Legal introduce you to a tri-layered approach that will help you lock in the value of your assets and ensure that their value can withstand the business sale process.
