Business Purchase & Dissolution Agreements

Two things all businesses have in common

is that they come into existence and at some point go out again.

What began as a bright vision is eventually clouded by the death of an owner or partner or key manager, commercial failure, collection problems, disputes between shareholders, stakeholders, or partners, breaches of fiduciary duty, criminal fraud, or other cause.

Unless you are a sole proprietorship, you can’t dissolve a business by walking away. Corporations, limited liability companies, and professional partnerships must follow certain procedures before going out of business.

It is advisable to have a guiding hand overseeing the process so that all state and federal requirements are met, eliminating the need for further litigation. The lawyers at Lovelace Law, P.C. have the experience necessary to close your business doors with minimal downsides financially.

Effective Purchase Agreements And Dissolution Agreements

Before dissolving a corporation, it may be necessary to obtain consent from its shareholders. Arrangements must be made with the IRS and the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. A dissolution agreement must include a list of all creditors and information on all monies owed. Remaining assets should be distributed to shareholders. Articles of dissolution must be drawn up, and attached to the formal dissolution agreement.

An error or omission in ending the business risks the chaos of lawsuits and claims against assets.
