nda for business sale
similarly, and in connection with the opportunity to sell a business, it is critical for the owner of the business not to provide any confidential information to a prospective purchaser until that party has signed a well-written business sale non disclosure agreement (also known as the nda). when selling a business, the non disclosure agreement will not protect information that a seller provides to a potential buyer before the date the confidentiality agreement is signed. this confidential information is a very valuable asset of the seller’s business, and, while the buyer needs to evaluate such information, it is critical that this information is not disclosed by the buyer to third parties or used by the buyer for any purpose other than evaluating the seller’s business in connection with a potential transaction.
