Entity sales, holding escrows, bulk sales.
Buying or selling a business, a franchise, or a portfolio of assets. We hold the funds, run the bulk-sale notice, pull the lien searches, and disburse on the schedule counsel sets. Neutral by license, deliberate by design.
Business and entity-transfer escrow.
Business and entity-transfer escrow for Nevada operators — acquisitions, liquor licenses, leasehold transfers. Single-point ownership, no handoffs.
Things buyers, sellers, and counsel ask first.
Can we skip the bulk-sale notice?
Not on a file we are running. The notice is the buyer's protection from successor liability; skipping it converts a clean acquisition into an unbounded one. We will run the notice, or we will not run the file.
Do you act as the qualified intermediary on a 1031?
No. The QI must be independent of the closing escrow. We coordinate with the QI you choose; we do not wear both hats.
How long does an ABC transfer take?
Person-to-person transfers typically run 45 to 75 days. Premises transfers and inter-county purchases run longer. We will tell you the realistic timeline at intake, not the ABC website's optimistic one.
Can you hold an indemnity escrow for an out-of-state M&A deal?
Yes, provided California or Nevada law governs the holding agreement. We will review the disbursement instruction, flag anything ambiguous, and ask counsel to fix it before we accept the funds.
Send the LOI. We'll open the file.
Direct line, no queue. The officer who opens your file is the officer who closes it. That is how we protect the deal and the relationship.
