I need help to think through all the possibilities and problems that could arise from this situation.
My client worked in a small retail store last year. Was gone out of state for a few months but is back now. The lady she worked for has several businesses and she says she doesn't have to be in the store all the time and really doesn't want to have store anymore. She wants to GIVE it to my client. Not sell it to her, but GIVE it to her.
What are some of the things we should be looking at as far as her taking over this business? I think she should ask to see profit and loss statements to see if it is a profitable business.
It is in an expensive shopping center so I think the lease agreement would be another consideration.
Another question would be if she is giving her the whole corporation (?) including name or just mdse and equipment.
Thanks for your help.
