When buying a business, we maintain privacy and confidentiality throughout the acquisition process is crucial for both the buyer and the seller. Our well-crafted privacy policy can help protect sensitive information and minimise potential risks.

​

Here are some key considerations we ensure privacy when buying a business:

​

1. Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA): Before sharing any sensitive information, both parties should sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement. The NDA should clearly outline the types of information that must remain confidential, the parties involved, the obligations of each party, and the consequences for breaches of confidentiality.

2. Limit access to information: Blackbird Capital Ventures Only share sensitive information with parties who need to know, such as our attorney, accountant, or financial advisor. Make sure these professionals understand the importance of confidentiality and have signed NDAs.

3. Controlled communication: Establish secure communication channels, such as encrypted email, secure file-sharing platforms, or password-protected documents, for sharing sensitive information. Avoid discussing sensitive information in public places or using unsecured communication methods.

4. Anonymity: Keep the identity of the business being sold confidential, particularly during the initial stages of the process. This can be achieved by using a code name or generic description when discussing the business with potential buyers or third parties.

5. Staged disclosure: Share sensitive information in stages, providing more detailed information only as we becomes more committed to the acquisition process. This can help minimize the risk of sensitive information being disclosed prematurely.

6. Employee communication: Be cautious when communicating with employees about the potential sale of the business. Informing employees too early in the process may lead to anxiety, loss of productivity, or staff turnover. Carefully plan how and when to communicate the sale to employees, and consider seeking professional advice on managing this aspect of the transaction.

7. Post-acquisition privacy: Blackbird Capital Ventures agree to maintain the confidentiality of sensitive information after the acquisition is completed. This can be specified in the purchase agreement or a separate confidentiality agreement.

 

By following these guidelines and working with our experienced professionals at Blackbird Capital Ventures you can help protect sensitive information and maintain privacy throughout the business acquisition process.
