Business Transactions & M&A Escrow
Secure escrow services for mergers, acquisitions, and business sales
Protect all parties in complex business transactions with institutional-grade escrow services designed for Brazilian and international deals.
Why Use Escrow for Business Transactions?
Risk Mitigation
Protect buyers from paying for misrepresented assets and sellers from non-payment after transfer.
Due Diligence Protection
Hold funds during due diligence periods and release only when all representations are verified.
Multi-Party Coordination
Manage complex transactions involving multiple buyers, sellers, lenders, and stakeholders.
Earn-Out Management
Hold and release contingent payments based on post-closing performance milestones.
Business Escrow Services
Mergers & Acquisitions with Holdback Escrow
Manage M&A deals where part of the purchase price is held in escrow to guarantee seller obligations, warranties, or representations. Reduces buyer risk in corporate asset sales, subsidiary acquisitions, and high-value business transfers by mitigating credit and information risk.
Business Sales
Escrow coordination for small business sales, franchise transfers, and ownership changes with proper documentation.
Earn-Out Agreements
Hold contingent purchase price payments and release based on verified financial performance targets.
Warranty & Indemnity Holdbacks
Secure indemnification funds for breach of representations, warranties, or post-closing adjustments. Essential for Brazilian M&A deals where buyer protection is needed against undisclosed liabilities, tax issues, or labor claims.
Intellectual Property Transfers
Coordinate payment and transfer of IP assets, patents, trademarks, and proprietary technology.
Partnership Buyouts
Facilitate partner exits, equity redemptions, and ownership restructuring with neutral third-party holding.
Online & High-Value Asset Transactions
Enable secure payments for high-value asset transfers including vehicles, art, websites, businesses, and expensive auction items. Hold funds until delivery and inspection is complete, preventing fraud in remote or person-to-person online auctions.
How Business Escrow Works
Agreement Review
We review the purchase agreement, identify escrow conditions, and establish the escrow framework.
Funds Deposited
Buyer deposits purchase price (or installment) into our secure escrow account per the agreement terms.
Due Diligence Period
Funds held while buyer verifies representations, reviews financials, and completes legal/regulatory checks.
Condition Verification
We coordinate with legal counsel, accountants, and parties to verify all closing conditions are satisfied.
Asset Transfer & Release
Once all conditions are met, assets/shares are transferred and escrow funds are released to the seller.
Post-Closing Holdbacks
If applicable, we hold indemnity or earn-out funds and release based on agreed milestones or dispute resolution.
