			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">industrial processing &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Before the industrial revolution, families support themselves by agriculture and crafts, and more for wood processing, textile production, metallurgy and the proximity to sources of supplies and materials. In this context, the term &#8220;trade&#8221; to a profession. Since these activities could be performed at home, often agricultural work increased, the family prospered in their homes. In this system, was the family business &#8211; manufacturing products in a home workshop. Purchases goods stores and take finished products to markets. Contractors and agents should &#8220;Get Out&#8221; the work of these workshops, which were in reality their subcontractors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Companions were craftsmen who have completed an apprenticeship, as in carpentry or metal work. Companions traveled between the municipalities in accordance with the law from a day of work. Apprentices were new practitioners who entered programs to receive training for their careers while working.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As the Industrial Revolution forward, was the work on plants, has transferred the machinery needed housing too big or too expensive. Historical production of a decentralized to a centralized system, creating jobs for workers in the factories.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Originally, the &#8220;set&#8221; system was used, in which workers are treated as sub-contractors in a factory and was subsequently employed. Factory working conditions are often difficult. Trade union movements were founded to fight for the rights of workers, many of whom now amended the employment and labor laws.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As the economy shifts from family to business and industry, increased employment opportunities. The contractor provided innovative, new companies in new and existing markets, new products and / or services that have developed from which new industries create.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The companies were founded, a unique identity and tired of their founder and owner. A company is a company for the price or the cause. Commercial companies such as partnerships and corporations has been built up over time, and eventually the concept of a partnership was developed &#8211; a legal person, regardless of its own shareholders is present.<span id="more-553"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Trading took place in the markets. In this context, the term &#8220;trafficking&#8221; of buying and selling. A market is a number of potential buyers (prospects) and / or actual buyers (customers) and the potential and / or actual sellers (suppliers) who are motivated to carry out transactions. Buyers have the desire, need or want to apply skills and resources and purchase a product / service. Motivated sellers have the desire, want or need, authority, and the inventory of supply and sell a product and / or service. A market is where buyers and sellers can meet to make. Flea markets were in the cities along the sidewalks or common areas and buildings covered and are still popular in many places around the world. Financial transactions were in the form of grants or contracts for exchanges on which financial instruments have been negotiated by traders and brokers conducted.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Due to improvements in the manufacturing process, such as equipment and automation, produces the magnitude of the units has increased dramatically. Improvements in the energy, transport and telecommunications technologies, enhanced range of new markets for the purchase of supplies and materials, and delivery of finished products.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Chains of raw material suppliers, manufacturers and distributors, merchandisers (wholesalers and retailers) and consumers, the consumers over time emerged. Some companies have decided whether to make or purchase equipment and accessories on a case by case basis. Others have &#8220;vertical integration&#8221; with the possession and control over most or all aspects of their supply and demand to hand-offs between making processes more efficient and effective. Wealth could be generated at the value chain created by the sale and production for contractors to participate.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Disciplines of governance, created administrative and operational, as companies become larger, hence the need for managers, supervisors and employees. Accordingly, executive, administrative, established professional, technical, vocational and office. As these companies become stable sources of employment. The word &#8220;business&#8221; has been used to describe it &#8211; what the concept of consistency. This term is still frequently, particularly for professional services partnerships such as accounting, architecture, consulting, engineering and law firms, where trust and integrity are important factors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">With the acquisition or merger, the company became &#8220;horizontally integrated&#8221; &#8211; offering the same products and / or services in different markets. With horizontal integration, companies can achieve economies of scale and corporate &#8220;giants&#8221;. largest companies in the world have gained wide world do the same in different geographic markets, although the offers may differ slightly, changing demographics and local practices.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In many industries such as construction, energy, financial services and manufacturing, there are some very large global players that has grown largely through acquisitions and mergers, and many players very small businesses that serve local markets almost exclusively. Joint ventures are also common shared risks, resources and expertise.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Not only the construction industry to contribute to the growth of the economies in building infrastructure, but he was involved in the development of globalization through the development of large companies such as Bechtel, Halliburton, Black &amp; Veatch and CH2M Hill have global reach.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Construction activity, with the development of residential, commercial, industrial and flourished. The use of prefabricated buildings and modular building industry and manufacturing have become closely linked.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Activities of energy production and global manufacturing of aircraft and automotive industry driven, with companies like Royal Dutch Shell, Honeywell, and Ford&#8217;s financial services industry has gone global with companies such as Barclays, HSBC and JP Morgan Chase. Globalization is not only necessary to reach a critical size, but also to serve business customers internationally. Global Financial Services Company may manage in a position to risk more than serve only to move to local areas through their ability to resources within and between different markets.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Catering and hospitality industries are partly globalized, mainly through franchising, but the marketing industry is still predominantly local, although the products can be used.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Accordingly, companies have to create industrial companies, the jobs that a steady source of income for food, housing, health, education, transportation, income taxes and provide entertainment and recreation stabilized. In fact, these companies pay less Maslow&#8217;s hierarchy of needs for many people.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The need of marketing skills and sales increased, and media communication vehicles such as magazines, newspapers, radio and television, rely on advertising revenue to cover its costs. Today, many websites rely on advertising revenue to cover, and it is a gradual shift occurring physical, electronic media of all forms, such as mobile devices become more popular.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Industry structure &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Today, the economy along market-oriented industries or production motor structure. An industry consists of a group of companies, joint activities, products and / or services and / or common method of distribution.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The approach of the market includes the economy of the production of goods and services, industry, the production approach, which includes industrial economy on the product and service-oriented focus. Goods-producing industries include natural resources and mining, construction and manufacturing, including service industries: services, wholesale and retail, transportation (and storage), utilities, information, financial activities, professional and business services, education and health, leisure and hospitality, and public administration. Product-based industries include companies that manage the inventory from the sale of primary activities (regardless of whether the process or not). In this approach, the retail, wholesale and food on the product.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">&#8220;Trade&#8221; is a generic term as &#8220;trade&#8221;, which refers to the purchase and sale of products, goods and services, warehousing, distribution and transportation. Commodities are products that are identical and interchangeable with other similar products because it has little or no value. Products include natural substances such as products, minerals and oils. Merchandise consists of raw materials and finished goods for retail sale to consumers.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Consumers are the users of products and / or services &#8211; both individuals and businesses. Enterprise customers are either business (in emerging or developing stages) or institutional (in growth or mature stages), including sole proprietorships, partnerships, limited liability companies or corporations. Sole proprietors are individuals, while partnerships, limited liability companies and legal persons, that is, they are non-human (business) units having the same status as an individual for legal purposes. Companies can be considered separately from their partners, members or shareholders, are considered for legal purposes, although the difference is not necessarily absolute. Companies can enter into contracts, own assets and liabilities arise sue.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Commercial companies are involved in light manufacturing, merchandising, retail and professional services. They are small and medium-sized businesses on Main Street, department stores and shopping centers and office parks. Commercial companies are usually closely held.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Industrial enterprises are involved in the production of high volume and high and related industries such as chemicals and energy. They are medium to large companies in specialized units such as factories and refineries, and are usually widespread.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Corporate companies are leading providers of financial, entertainment, healthcare and transportation, and administrative activities of industrial companies. Corporations are widely used in the rule.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Commercial companies are the major sources of employment in local communities for entry into mid-level positions. Industrial enterprises and enterprises employ two skilled and unskilled workers, and the provider of job opportunities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From the perspective of public policy, provides employment for the stability of the economy. An activity that is repeating itself, a chance for stable employment, such as food processing and services, and manufacturing industries in growth. In business and sales activities are subject to uncertainty, in order to promote stability, the seller has an incentive compensation to encourage the ongoing results.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Government policy also has the capacity to increase stability. For most people, their work, the main source of income, and their house is their biggest asset and their mortgage and related expenses are an important part of their monthly remuneration. Home appreciation is a creator of wealth for many families. However, the house can be a handicap as an asset when the owners move to a different geography to seize new opportunities prevented. In declining markets, lower home values, to a point off as the mortgages that finance them &#8211; a grueling and sometimes fatal.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Employment challenges in the future &#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As industries mature and reposition, restructure and reorganize as a result of changing customer trends and competition, eroding employment opportunities and current positions can be eliminated. Restructuring initiatives can be changed to a strategic repositioning of the company&#8217;s business in the pinching methods on the same activities, or rationalization of the activities underway to reduce costs. The application of technology to play an important role in creating jobs in new areas and eliminate them in others. Trends of globalization have changed the cost structure by outsourcing certain activities to providers that offer economies of scale or to the markets with low cost production of these Third World countries.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The result is that labor markets changed significantly and have old assumptions are not valid for employment. The term is no longer working for an employer for forty years is possible because the industry, company and type of employment are changing rapidly.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The methods for finding a job have changed. This is not what you know or who you know but who you know that matters. Finding a job is a marketing initiative, and many people have no experience in promoting products and / or services, let alone themselves. However, if people can make themselves, how to promote something else? It is important to keep a marketing campaign to individual and renew a life, a job in today&#8217;s economy starting place.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">A marketing campaign for an individual begins the same way as a company by developing a strategy for the opportunities, threats, strengths and weaknesses and setting targets, objectives and address action-oriented initiatives.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The process begins with a personal understanding of the power of their knowledge and skills &#8211; the personal, professional, technical, entrepreneurship, leadership and management skills, know that others do, and benefit from it.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Effective personal and professional skills are essential to entry-level positions in business, and get the first actions in the future. However determine enterpriship entrepreneurial skills, leadership and management disciplines to the long-term success to transform ideas into value, to influence others to follow the direction of the impact and application of resources for activities to achieve results both entrepreneurial activity and employment.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Almost all companies are listed in a certain degree. Let&#8217;s say yours is not for sale. Suppose  your company worth $ 100,000. You love what you  do, someone contacts you with an offer to purchase for your company for $  500,000. Their business is to sell now? The foregoing is not a likely scenario for most entrepreneurs.  To successfully sell your business planning and  preparation required. But if you are or at some  time in the light of the sale of it could you interested in the  following 3 points:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. Identify your sincere interest in the sale of your business. Early in the process of deciding to sell your company  considers the approach to take to sell. As a  business broker in Florida, I interact with different interests of small  business owners.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* &#8211; My business is  not for sale, but if someone comes and offers me more than I think it&#8217;s  worth I sell<br />
* &#8211; My business is  not for sale, but when you meet someone who wants to buy it please let  me know. &#8211; I want to pursue the sale of my  business, but I will not sell for less &#8230; (A slightly inflated price). I  am ready to accept that it may take 1-2 years to sell my business and if  the price is too high, I can not accept that my company not even be  sold.<br />
* &#8211; I want to sell my business and  after significant due diligence, I feel for the price I was in line with  other similar companies have been sold recently interested in following  me.<span id="more-542"></span><br />
* &#8211; I want to sell my business and I  want it now. I put my aggressive pricing policy  and a price lower than the price currently charged for similar companies  mine. I will wait for this policy of  aggressive pricing policy on using both me sell my business and reduce  the time to take it to sell my business.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If  you have a genuine interest in the sale of your business, have  indicated above, the last 2 points you have duty of care to better  understand what is the value of your company.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. You can expect that probably  to the perceived value of your company and the value of the company a  prospective buyer take two different values.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* &#8211; At the end of the price for your business is what a buyer  is ready willing and able to pay in order to buy is your business.<br />
* &#8211; Seek &#8220;reasonable&#8221; to your prize, you are trying to sell  your company. If companies like yours  have sold a half times the operating cash flow, why you is worth 3 times  the cash flow? &#8211; Ask yourself honestly what you  would pay to buy your business<br />
* &#8211; Do you  see a free search on my website or other similar sites, which sell to  businesses like yours demand for their company. Remember  &#8211; all companies are different, but the use of such research as part of  due diligence. A business for sale and  the price of a company can be sold for very different, but other fees  may be a basis, while existing companies will sell more relevant  information<br />
Talk to your trusted advisors &#8211;  *. A business broker may be able to assist with  selling non-public information about companies in your area. may be your accountant or lawyer or may not be aware of these  sales as well. A professional business valuation  expert can be beneficial.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. Whether you sell part of your exit strategy for your  business or not, you should be an exit strategy.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">* &#8211; Most small business owners have an exit strategy.<br />
* &#8211; If you own a business, you should be an exit strategy. Make the planning, due diligence. Do you know what you have or can have.<br />
* &#8211; Even if you do not plan to sell your business, it returns  the value of knowing the approximate value of these assets potentially  important. You know what your home is worth, your  car, your other assets. Understand the value of  your company can be an important information when planning ahead.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sales activity of those can be a rewarding  experience, if it be true. Understand good value  for your business the way for a successful sale of your company or  business that could not find a buyer is willing and able to pave.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">1. Introduction. Purchase or sale of a  business can be very complex, and other things are important in  different industries. Although it is not  possible to discuss from a distance all the questions that should be  taken into account, here are some key questions to keep in mind.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. Privacy Policy. The seller must be sure  that all potential buyers must sign a confidentiality agreement before  providing proprietary information.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. Disclosure of assets and  liabilities.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">a. should clearly be  included in a sale of assets in a sale of assets, assets acquired.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">i. A simple clause that  the sale of all equipment, furniture and accessories include on-site  will inevitably lead to disputes about what was not there and lead.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ii. The agreement should  include the liabilities assumed by the buyer and there is no other  liabilities have been received.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">b. In a stock sale, the  buyer should not solely on a review of the manufacturer&#8217;s books. It is not enough to  generally to assets on the books. Instead, a list of assets  and liabilities of the seller are created and in the agreement. <span id="more-541"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4. Evaluation. Valuation of a company is  somewhat subjective and is still being negotiated. Evaluation methods  include:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">a. Assessment of the  market. This is based on the  sales prices of similar businesses in this area. Business Brokers often  use this method, based on their experiences selling similar businesses  in the region. (Business Brokers often  ask, 10%, but like everything else is negotiable.)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">b. Assessment of the asset. It takes into account  such figures as the book value and liquidation value of the company. However, they are bare  minimums in the evaluation of companies and are considered generally not  used as the only option for a course.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">c. Rating based on earnings.  It considers historical  financial data, including debt service payments, cash flows (past,  present and projected) and revenues. Sometimes, the  multipliers of income or profits are used, they vary from industry to  industry. Also, it is sometimes  calculated in a ROI approach.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">5. Price adjustments based  on performance. To limit their risks,  their buyers want a clause in the contract performance of the purchase.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">a. This clause states  that when the transactions of the company there is an adjustment in the  ticket used to pay the balance of the purchase price.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">b. In return, the seller may  also want a provision where there is an increase in the amount of the  promissory note if the company to increase sales.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">6. Types of transactions.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">a. taxable sales. In taxable transactions,  the seller must tax to the extent the consideration exceeds the tax  value of assets or stock of the seller to pay. The buyer has an  &#8220;enhanced&#8221; (purchase price) purchased basis in the assets or shares  received.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">i. Often, clients want a  transaction structured as an acquisition of assets in order to avoid  trying to pick up unknown liabilities. (This is not always  successful.)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ii. Buyers also prefer to buy  assets because they recognized not the seller of the history of low  taxes (rather than a tax equal to the purchase price) will inherit.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">iii. Business sellers often  find that the transaction as a sale of shares from the sale of assets,  in two levels of tax revenue to the seller: a tax on the transaction and  a second fee if the manufacturer is a company dissolved after the sale  led to the shareholders in the extent that their  share is greater than its tax value of the stock.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">(1) The sale of assets by  an S corporation is generally not this double taxation, if the S  corporation has been converted to a C-Corporation in the preceding 10  years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">b. Tax-free transactions. A &#8220;sale&#8221; of shares may be  tax-free to the seller if the most important consideration is not  money, but values in a buyer. (These transactions are  generally referred to as &#8220;mergers&#8221; and there are many ways to that  structure.)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">i. In a transaction  tax-free profits seller tax-free treatment, but the buyer suffers a  loss, because the seller acquires (historically low) base.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">7. Sales taxes. In the sale of assets  (but not the sale of stock), sales tax is usually on the sale of movable  property, unless the company is sold imposed by a service company  (where the &#8220;occasional sale&#8221; can not apply exemption).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">a. The sales tax is  levied, even if the only benefit is supported by the purchaser of the  bonds.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">b. custom software are  generally not as movable property.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">c. In the absence of a  provision of the contract to the contrary, the seller is responsible for  all sales tax.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">8. Allowance. The parties should agree  on the distribution of the purchase price of various categories of the  purchase agreement.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">a. It is often difficult  to reach an agreement if it is delayed &#8211; it is therefore to decide on  the signing of the agreement.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">b. In an asset sale if the  buyer paid for all sales taxes, then the allowance made absolutely the  most the buyer for tax purposes must make.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">i. If the seller to pay  for all or part of the sales tax, well, more tangible assets will be  distributed to increase the amount of sales tax provider.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">c. Generally, the buyer  wants as much of the purchase price for the assets allocation of the  fastest tax deductions &#8211; that is, those with the shortest payback  periods.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">i. For this reason, the  buyer usually wants more emphasis on companies and accessories assign. Usually equipment and  accessories can be depreciated over three, five, seven or 10.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ii. The buyer would typically  assign to smaller values of intangible assets because they have a tax  of long payback period of 15 years.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">iii. Goodwill value can not be  depreciated, so that a buyer wants to categorically affect the minimum  amount of goodwill.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">(1) will be transferred  in the transfer of a trademark must be targeted Goodwill, or mark lost &#8211;  if something needs to be assigned to a business or goodwill.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">9. Pact / agreement not to  compete.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">a. The buyer will be  almost always ensure that the seller to agree not to run or competing in  a company.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">enforce i. selling a  business is one of the few opportunities in California is a non-compete.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ii. A specific geographical  area in which the activity took place, must be specified.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">iii. In addition, sole  proprietors and partners are specifically the sale of the goodwill value  of the company &#8211; and therefore something should be allocated to  goodwill. (There is no restriction  on sale of partners or LLC members.)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">b. The payments are designed  to compete in the federal government is not the seller is taxed as  ordinary income, in order for providers and associated deductible by the  buyer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">i. The allocation should  be in reasonable form and amount.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ii. The buyer must amortize  the payments over a period of 15 years (as well as other intangible  assets). It is not as good as the  allocation of equipment and accessories, but it is always better than a  larger allocation of goodwill.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">iii. In a share sale, the  seller usually prefer less or no benefit to a non-compete (which is the  tax on ordinary income) and some or all of the share sale of  accompaniment (usually capital gains).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">c. Often the buyer that the  non-compete provisions must a separate contract, if an argument more  adjustments in the sales contract, then the non-compete agreement still  stands. The seller may, of  course, good that the opposite.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">10. Hold Backs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">a. Frequently, the buyer  wants a certain amount of the filing, such changes (due to changes in  inventory or accounts or due to unpaid creditors) or pro-rations  (withheld taxes, utilities or cover rent) based on the closing date.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">b. The vendor, of course,  tried to minimize the amount of the hold-back.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">11. By selling in bulk.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">a. careful with sales of  assets (but not the sale of shares), the buyer of the Bulk Sales Act. This law applies if:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">i. &#8220;The main activity of  the seller, the sale of inventory on hand, including those who sell what  they want from a restaurant owner or production&#8221; and</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">ii. the sale is not in the  ordinary course of business and</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">iii. Inventory more than half  of the seller and the equipment is sold.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">b. Bulk Sales Act  essentially allows the buyer to pay the debts of the selling company &#8211;  although, unless otherwise agreed, the buyer is entitled to recover  these amounts from the seller.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">c. For sales where the  purchase price of $ 2,000,000 or less, the creditors must be paid from  the escrow account.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">d. The buyer can limit  his liability by ensuring the seller is a list of creditors and by  agreeing to pay the creditors on the list make sure (with an adjustment  of the purchase price) or that the seller pays the debt limit .</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">12. Successor liability. If the buyer notifies the  seller to continue the business, the buyer under a &#8220;successor  liability&#8221; theory of liability lawsuits from customers of the  Pre-Closing placed liable. It is a good reason,  provide compensation and length of time in favor of the seller of the  buyer, and check the insurance too.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">13. Due Diligence.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">a. In addition to writing  all other due diligence that the buyer makes the buyer an accountant to  the vendor&#8217;s books and determine if adjustments to the purchase price  is required to rent. This point is crucial.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">b. The seller wants to set a  certain period, all necessary measures so that if no objections are  filed within the prescribed time, the results showed satisfactory due  diligence by the buyer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">c. If the company is a  company in California, the buyers can see if it is in good standing (has  paid his taxes in California), by clicking  http://kepler.ss.ca.gov/list.html.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">d. Buyers can search UCC  want to see if there are liens against the company. On the Internet try + +  California &#8220;UCC Search&#8221; to view a list of companies that offer to get  this service. This is recommended.</p>

(Often, however, the buyer with the contract, under which the seller  warrants that there is no trial, unless expressly stated -. And the  seller must compensate the buyer satisfied when there is no violation This warranty)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">f. buyer may want to  check with the Better Business Bureau, if consumer complaints have been  filed over the company.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">g. If you believe that  there may be environmental issues, whether the municipality where the  company is &#8220;Environmental Health&#8221; unit &#8211; and call them to ask if there  are problems with the place.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">14. Assignment of leases and  contracts.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">a. If existing leases are  important, the buyer must also be provisions to allow the closure  depends on the consent of the owner of the lease with the current rents  and lease terms.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">16. Intellectual Property. In addition to many other  protective measures (and indemnification provisions) when transferring  intellectual property, the buyer will usually assure that the seller  that the seller owns the intellectual property and the buyer agrees to  indemnify any third party claims of infringement.</p>

(For example, it could  happen that the maximum number of hours per week for a few weeks.)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">b. From the perspective of  the seller, the agreement should specify that it is time for training or  advice, and not for the activity.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">c. It can also be for the  seller, the days and hours during which the training and advice made  available (eg from 9.00 bis 05.00 clock, MF) is limited, so do not try  that the buyer, the sellers have important This unusual hours.</p>
