Helping Business Owners Navigate the Sale or Purchase of Companies Under $10 Million

Buying or selling a business isn’t just about the numbers—it’s about protecting what you’ve built, making a clean transition, and getting the deal done right. At Basecamp Legal, we help small business owners move through the M&A process with a clear understanding of what’s happening at every stage.

Whether you’re preparing to sell your company, buying someone else’s, or working through a partnership transition, we’re here to make sure the legal side of the deal is handled with care and attention.

 

What We Do

We work with business owners on both the buy-side and sell-side of M&A deals valued under $10 million. Our goal is to help you avoid surprises, minimize risk, and make informed decisions that support your goals—whether that’s cashing out, growing through acquisition, or transitioning ownership within your company.

Our services include:

  • Structuring the deal (asset purchase, stock purchase, or merger)
  • Drafting and negotiating the letter of intent (LOI)
  • Performing legal due diligence
  • Reviewing or preparing disclosures
  • Drafting and negotiating the purchase agreement
  • Coordinating with CPAs and advisors
  • Supporting closing and post-closing transitions

We also help with “soft landings”—when you’re selling to a friend, family member, or long-time employee and want a clean, fair deal without things getting messy.

 

Why Work With Us

We focus on M&A for small and lower middle-market businesses, where owners are deeply involved and relationships matter. We understand the realities of running a business while trying to sell it or grow it through acquisition.

  • We move efficiently without cutting corners
  • We explain things in plain language so you can make informed decisions
  • We keep the deal on track, even when emotions run high
  • We work well with other professionals involved—brokers, CPAs, bankers, and advisors

Whether you're ready to go or just exploring what a sale might look like, we can help you think it through from a legal and strategic angle.

 

Who We Work With

  • First-time sellers
  • Entrepreneurs buying their next business
  • Companies acquiring a competitor, supplier, or complementary business
  • Business owners working through family or internal succession plans
  • Founders exiting through private sales or partner buyouts

We typically support deals where the business is valued under $10 million—where the stakes are high, but the legal process still needs to stay accessible and practical.

 

Regions We Serve

We work with clients throughout:

  • Colorado
  • California
  • Idaho
  • Wyoming
  • Washington

 

Thinking About Buying or Selling a Business?

If you’re considering a sale, acquisition, or internal transition, we’re happy to talk through the process and help you understand what to expect. We can get involved early to help with structure, timelines, and strategy—or come in once the deal is already on the table.
