What should Shelburne buyers ask for before closing?
Buyers should ask for financial records, tax records, leases, contracts, equipment lists, employee records, debts, licences, and insurance information.
Can seller support continue after closing?

Why review supplier terms?
Supplier pricing, credit, delivery obligations, exclusivity, consent requirements, and termination rights can affect the buyer's operations.
