Glossary · Doing the deal
In short
Legal costs that go beyond typical transaction expenses due to unexpected complexities or disputes. These can significantly inflate your deal's closing costs.
In an SBA acquisition, extraordinary legal fees might arise from complex entity structures, extensive contract negotiations, or unforeseen legal issues with the target business. Budget for standard legal fees, but be prepared for potential additional costs if your due diligence uncovers red flags requiring specialized legal work.
