When you own a profitable business and have started to think about how to bring your business to the next level, what comes to mind? Of course, there are several possibilities to consider about how to grow a business and therefore make it more profitable. One strategy is to merge with, or to possibly acquire, a competitor's business, thereby eliminating competition and becoming more profitable in one fell swoop. Where to begin on honing in on this goal depends on the business, but it will end in a contract agreement that outlines the responsibilities and obligations of all parties involved in the merger or acquisition.

As a business owner, it is important to ensure these trade secrets are protected especially in situations of sale or merger.
