How a Retail Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Buy Sell Agreement in Florida

In 2022, a business owner in Florida sought assistance with drafting a buy-sell agreement as part of a planned sale of their retail venture. The client was looking for a straightforward transaction to transfer ownership to a trusted individual, ensuring that all inventory, equipment, and online assets would be included in the sale. Additionally, the client wanted to avoid transferring any personal debts associated with the business to the buyer while maintaining existing business accounts for future endeavors. As a result, the client received six proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $650 to $2,000, all submitted to meet the client’s requested deadline of over a week.
