Selling your business can be a significant milestone for any entrepreneur or business owner. However, when navigating the process of selling your business in California, it is crucial to be aware of the legal considerations involved. This blog article provides a review of some of the key legal aspects to consider when selling your business in California.

1. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs):

Before sharing confidential information (i.e. trade secrets, proprietary processes, customer lists, etc.) about your business with potential buyers, it is vital to have them sign a well-drafted Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). A well-drafted NDA protects your business value by clarifying the handling of confidential information and remedies for breaching the NDA.

2. Valuation and Due Diligence:

Having a supportable rationale for the value of your business is essential for a successful sale. Working with experienced professionals, such as valuation firms, bankers, brokers or appraisers, can help establish a fair market value or a range of fair market value. Additionally, conducting thorough due diligence, including financial audits and legal reviews, is crucial to uncover any potential liabilities or legal issues that could affect valuation and ultimately, the sale.

3. Asset Purchase Agreement or Stock Purchase Agreement

In California, the sale of a business can be structured as an asset purchase or stock purchase. Each option has different legal implications. An asset purchase agreement (APA) involves selling specific assets and liabilities of the business, while a stock purchase agreement (SPA) involves selling the ownership shares of the business entity. Consult with your attorney, CPA and other advisors to evaluate potential tax consequences, liability transfers, and legal obligations associated with each structure.

4. Intellectual Property Rights:

Ensure that your business’s intellectual property (IP) rights, such as trademarks, copyrights, and patents, are protected during the sale process. Conduct a comprehensive IP audit on the front end to identify all protectable (and potentially protectable) IP, and to address any potential infringement issues, pending litigation, or license agreements that could impact valuation and sale.

5. Employees and Contractual Obligations:

Review and address any existing employment agreements, non-compete agreements, vendor contracts, or lease agreements that may affect the sale. Analyzing compliance with state and federal employment laws, including providing appropriate notice to employees, and addressing potential severance, bonuses owed, wage and hour liabilities or retention agreements is crucial.

Conclusion:

Selling your business in California can be a wonderful, rewarding milestone on your entrepreneurial journey and it involves navigating numerous, serious legal considerations. From protecting confidential information with NDAs to structuring the sale agreement and addressing employment obligations, understanding the legal aspects is vital for a successful transaction. Seeking guidance the experienced mergers and acquisitions business attorneys at Adishian Law can increase the probability of maximizing the value of your business while minimizing the risk. By carefully addressing these legal considerations, and many others that may arise, you can proceed with confidence and achieve a successful outcome in selling your business in California.

Healthcare Transaction Overview: In another sale transaction involving a leading California healthcare provider, our firm served as exclusive sell-side legal counsel to the Owner of South Bay Hearing and Balance Center. We also served as counsel to the Buyer at the request of, and with the written consent of, both the Buyer and Seller.

Quotes from the Healthcare practice Seller and Buyer:

“I worked with Chris on some employment matters and lease negotiations prior to beginning the process to sell my company. He was always efficient, reliable and most of all, insightful. When it came time to sell my business I immediately turned to Chris for support and counsel. I appreciate Chris’ flexibility and honesty in representing the issues to us. Thank you, Chris, for all that you have done for us.”
— Former Owner & President, South Bay Hearing and Balance Center, Inc.

“Chris and his team modeled professionalism and expertise throughout the transaction. Ours was a unique situation that Chris handled with the utmost proficiency and personal care. As a result, all of us at South Bay Hearing are able to continue our legacy of providing the best hearing care available in Southern California to all of our many wonderful patients. A big thank you to Chris and his team for their personalized approach that made this possible.”
— New Owner & CEO, South Bay Hearing and Balance Center, Inc.

Legacy. With many sales of privately held businesses, “legacy” is often a leading consideration for the selling Owner. This is especially true with healthcare practices. A business often represents the Seller’s professional life’s work. Therefore, Sellers often want to sell to a Buyer who (a) shares their same values and (b) will continue to conduct the business to the same standards they have established. In the public sphere it has been noted that many top performing privately held businesses feel comfortable selling to Berkshire Hathaway because they feel confident that the business will be well run long after the Seller has passed.

During the covid-19 pandemic, our firm faced all the same challenges as our clients, while we worked to assist them in navigating the changes and challenges brought on by the pandemic. We’re proud that we were able to continue delivering a high level of service to our clients throughout 2020.

Firm Updates

During the past year, we also made significant changes at our firm.

We Now Have Client Portals and Are 100% Cloud

“Re-Platfoming” happened here too. In the fall of 2020, we migrated to a new practice management software platform after many years. The new program is entirely cloud based, with user-friendly client features such as full Client Portals and integrated electronic document signing.

Towards the end of last year, we migrated entirely off our own servers to a 100% Microsoft cloud environment. While these migrations are always a project, it went fairly smoothly without interruption for our firm or clients. It provides a highly-secure and flexible environment for us and our clients going forward.

We Launched A Refreshed AdishianLaw.com

We are excited to announce that in late 2020, after nearly six months of work, the new www.AdishianLaw.com website went live! Our goals were to (1) modernize the navigation and flow to make it easier to find content and (2) update the look and feel. We invite you to browse around, let us know how we did and connect with us if you have any suggestions.

Practice Update

Our practice is now heavily focused on advising clients and leading transactions in the areas of business, real estate and employment. Over the past year, our firm has been very active in sell-side M&A assignments and financing transactions. We expect the M&A activity to continue at a high rate as baby boomers retire or look to exit over the next decade, private equity funds sit on record amounts of cash and interest rates on cash remain close to zero. Keep an eye out for highlighted transactions in upcoming newsletters.

If you happen to have a legal matter outside our practice areas, we can often assist through our referral network of trusted attorneys.

Observations From The Pandemic

“It is not about avoiding all crises, because you cannot”

There is a quote that I’m fond of that is attributed to a former Nestle CEO: “We have crises and all that. My job is not to manage the crisis. My job is to make sure we have the capabilities of mastering them.”

From its inception, the pandemic created a lot of uncertainty and chaos (and nobody knows what the delta or other variants may bring). Our clients who navigated the pandemic most successfully embraced the truth of the above quote and acted upon it. They focused on marshalling the necessary resources — legal, financial, operational — and rapidly adapting their business processes to weather the storm and be prepared when the pandemic abated.

“The pandemic highlighted enterprise financial fragility”

The pandemic put a renewed emphasis on healthy, liquid balance sheets. From late March 2020 through July 2020 a broad range of businesses were partially or completely shut down, some industry shutdowns lasted much, much longer. The health crises became a financial crisis for many firms across the country, leading to business failures or severely weakened businesses. Companies and organizations with a culture of healthy cash balances, conservative leverage and low cost operations were better able to survive the pandemic.

The time to instill and maintain this culture is before the (next) crisis.

“For investors and entrepreneurs the rate of change appears to be accelerating, and what seemed reliable became risky”

A few examples…. For many years, residential real estate was seen as one of the safest, most reliable ways to build wealth. During the pandemic, vacancies spiked and many tenants couldn’t or didn’t pay rent. Prior to the pandemic, commercial real estate was one of the best performing asset classes. During the pandemic, it was very painful to be a shopping center or commercial real estate owner. Separate from the pandemic, minor league baseball was always viewed as a safe haven for nearly a century due to its alignment with Major League Baseball. In 2020, MLB dropped forty teams from affiliation. Some of these changes appear relatively short term while some appear permanent.

Entrepreneuring has always been risky and the old saying, “the only constant is change” is even more true today. The right team of advisors can help you de-risk your operations, prepare for the next change and take advantage of it when it comes.

We hope that you have been able to stay healthy and safe during the pandemic and continue to do so during the reopening.

We look forward to brighter days ahead which we are confident will bring their own challenges. We’ll be here for you.

We are pleased to announce that Chris Adishian has been appointed to the Boards of Malaga Financial Corporation (OTC: MLGF) and Malaga Bank, FSB. The full press release is included below.

EL SEGUNDO, CA (November 15, 2019)— Adishian Law Group is pleased to announce that Adishian Law Group, P.C. and Adishian Capital were profiled in the current issue of Southbay Magazine.

As the magazine states, “Adishian Law Group practices business, employment and real estate law. The firms work includes leading mission-critical transactions and litigation, and high-stakes employment cases involving highly compensated professionals. Adishian Capital is a licensed real estate brokerage that provides property management services and select brokerage services.

What can our readers learn from your most successful clients?

“They are committed to improving their decision-making process in business and life. They understand that the two great equalizers are: time and decisions. Over time, the compounded results from a good decision process (and avoiding the compounded results of a bad decision process) dwarf any legal fees. Sometimes the best decision is deciding to not do something.”

What business lessons have you learned running your own companies?

“There are so many. Here are some of the most important in our view: setting the culture of the firm, recruiting/retaining the right people, working for clients we enjoy and of course, delivering the highest level professional service and advice.”

Why did you choose to work in this profession?

“When I graduated from law school, practicing law was the last thing on my mind. I was fortunate to meet a number of outstanding individuals — some significantly more experienced that I was — who were kind, strong, wise, fair-minded, lived balanced lives, contributed significantly to their community and were financially comfortable. They had one other thing in common: all were lawyers running smaller practices. Eventually that made a lot of sense to me. This fall is our 16th anniversary.”

What is the best legal advice you ever received?

“I read this in a business book, probably long before I went to law school. The more important term in the contract isn’t in the contract; it’s dealing with people who are honest.”

What are your favorite podcasts?

“During my commute, I enjoy listening to “The Knowledge Project,” “On Being” and “How I Built This.”
