Confidentiality in the Business Transfer
Process
im&m solutions understands the absolute necessity of securing information with
strict confidentiality. We understand that confidentiality is the number one
concern of most Sellers throughout the transactional process.
The process of buying or selling a business involves more than compiling facts and
figures...it involves the reputations of all the parties in the transaction. We employ
thorough procedures within every step of the buy/sell process to insure that your
business information and reputation is safeguarded.
The Seller’s Perspective
We know that developing a solid business can require years of hard work and the total
devotion of the owner. When the time comes for the owner to institute an exit strategy, it
is vital that vendors, employees, clients and competitors are not aware of that strategy
until the owner is ready to inform them. Premature leaking of information concerning a
pending sale can jeopardize the ongoing success of the business.
The Buyer’s Perspective
Whether an individual, a partnership, a corporation or an investment group, the buyer
also requires confidentiality. Public information concerning a pending buy-out could
negatively impact their current employment status or business operation.
Our Policy
 im&m solutions requires the filing of a Confidentiality Agreement from every buyer
before any information about a listed business is given to the buyer. We also pre-screen
each buyer to ensure financial capability prior to disclosing any confidential information.
 im&m solutions seeks permission from sellers and buyers before using their blind
profile (the description of a listing or buyer requirements without identifying
characteristics) for any marketing or website placement.
 im&m solutions does not discuss or disclose past, pending or future transactions
with any individual or agency without prior written permission.
