Buying and Selling a Business in Florida

When buying or selling a business in Florida, understanding, and adhering to the legal framework set forth by the Florida Sale of Business Opportunities Act is essential. This act ensures that transactions are conducted with transparency and fairness, providing essential protections for both buyers and sellers. For instance, sellers are required to provide a comprehensive disclosure statement detailing key aspects of the business and its operations, which must be given to potential buyers at least three working days before any contract signing. This allows buyers to make informed decisions based on thorough understanding of what the business entails.
