Helping buyers and sellers complete successful funeral home transactions

BSF works with funeral home professionals to help them buy and sell funeral home businesses. It represents buyers and sellers of funeral homes throughout the entire process, from preparation through search, negotiation and contracts.

BSF also arranges funeral home business loans. It works with those who are seeking financing for a new business acquisition or refinancing of an existing business.

BSF relieves you of burdens and pressures

Buying or selling a funeral home business can be confusing and intimidating. Intermediaries with hidden fees. Banks that feign interest but cause delay after delay. Buyers or sellers on the opposite side of the table who are equally inexperienced.

BSF works with you to navigate these choppy waters.

Purchasing the business and the real estate

Buying, selling or financing a funeral home often includes the purchase of both the business and the real estate. The transaction is longer and more detailed when real estate is involved. Navigating your way through this transaction process can be very stressful if you do not know what to expect during each stage.

Complexity of legal agreements

Most funeral home transactions require multiple purchase and sale agreements, non-compete agreements and promissory notes. Attorneys for buyer and seller must accurately and efficiently prepare and review these agreements. Each agreement must accurately convey the assets being transferred. And each agreement must effectively protect the interests of both buyer and seller.

Addressing tax consequences

In addition to legal agreements, both buyer and seller must address the tax consequences of the transaction. These tax issues are dynamic. They change each time you modify the structure of the transaction. As you negotiate different points of the transaction you must also assess how they directly impact the tax issues.

Negotiating twists and turns

The negotiations in a complex transaction can take many turns. One day you think everything is fine and the next day you hit a wall and are not sure what to do next. A good advisor will help you handle these issues by explaining each turn in the process and creating accurate expectations on the part of both buyer and seller. A good advisor will act as a guide to the buyer or seller and then act as an intermediary between buyer and seller when needed.
