In episode 386 of Financially Simple, Justin talks to Mital Patel of Triamicus Law about the legalities of selling your business.

With the “do-it-yourself” attitude of most business owners, some of the important, complex, and difficult legal issues that crop up when selling a business can be overlooked or even ignored. In this episode, Justin and Mital go over the purchase agreement and consider the important fundamentals that must be addressed in the document so both the buyer and seller and even third parties involved are not liable for preventable issues.
