What Does a Stock Purchase Accomplish?
What does a stock purchase accomplish? It’s often necessary to purchase a company or corporation through a stock purchase or other transaction in order to gain the assets you require to expand your own business opportunities. A stock purchase provides the opportunity to acquire the specific contracts, equipment, real estate, intellectual property, inventory or even customer base of another company. The buyer in a stock purchase transaction is able to step into the shoes of the seller and take control of the company.
This is why it is important to work with the experienced mergers and acquisition attorneys at the Watkins Firm. We have served the San Diego business community for decades and provide sound counsel and contract development and review services to ensure successful transactions. The keys to a successful San Diego stock purchase may seem to be simple and somewhat obvious, however, there is nothing that is simple or straight forward in a stock purchase transaction.
