Confidentiality
Why is confidentiality important in the sale of a business?
Confidentiality is a must when a business owner decides to sell his Huntsville business. We believe that it is imperative for everyone (employees, customers, vendors and lendors) to remain unaware of the sale until it is final and complete. This protects the value of the business for both the seller and any potential buyers.
