What causes a business sale to fall apart before it reaches the closing table?

 

In this episode of Transaction Talk, hosts Jennifer Fox and Eric Sigman welcome back Aaron Fox, Managing Director of Transworld Business Advisors Boston, to discuss why deals often break down, what warning signs owners should watch for, and how better preparation can keep a transaction moving forward. Aaron walks through the most common deal killers, including poor books and records, inconsistent financials, and a lack of supporting documentation. He also explains why lease issues can create major risk for buyers, how working with only one buyer can weaken a seller's negotiating position, and why due diligence surprises often create unnecessary friction in a sale.

 

They also explore unrealistic expectations around valuation, deal terms, post-closing payments, and changes that may arise before closing, as well as the importance of staying prepared. Tune in to learn how sellers can avoid preventable mistakes, protect buyer confidence, and keep business sales on track from offer to closing with Aaron Fox!
