Confidentiality Agreement - The Intermediary's Role

Prior to any information being disseminated to a potential buyer, George and Company requires that the buyer execute a confidentiality/non-disclosure agreement. This agreement prohibits the release of any information (unless in the public domain) to anyone except their attorney and/or accountant. Both of these professional groups have Codes of Ethics preventing them from disclosing any information. We also ask that personal financial statements and corporate balance sheets are supplied to ascertain the buyer's financial ability to consummate the transaction being contemplated. The background of the buyer and or the investment/equity group they represent, is also important to determine whether they may be a strategic fit. If there is a question about giving information to anyone within the client's industry, we ask our client for permission first. Only the right buyer pays the right price. George & Company is the expert in finding the right buyer.
