Provides a<br>useful metric when comparing companies with different profits, but<br>with similar margins, products, markets and competition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the aforementioned mechanisms, the negotiation of the price of<br>purchase will depend on how the transaction is structured and the outcome of the<br>audit processes, always taking into account compliance with the<br>applicable provisions and that the parties may agree on the terms and<br>conditions that they decide, which will be required under the contract<br>of corresponding sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a legal perspective, it is important to share information with the team<br>to determine the warning signs that could have an impact<br>in the analysis of the transaction and that would result in an adjustment in the price of<br>purchase (for example: reserves for contingencies, unpaid taxes,<br>social security contributions, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It should be noted that the Federal Civil Code and each local civil code<br>establish specific payment obligations and, therefore, must be verified with<br>its legal advisors that the transaction complies with all the provisions<br>applicable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\"><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Mexico, mergers and acquisitions operations have been increasing over the<br \/>\nover time and have been based on transactional documents<br \/>\ncross-border, mainly from the United States of America.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":10956,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[99],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10948","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articulos","has-thumb"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.mgps.com.mx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/01.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mgps.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mgps.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mgps.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mgps.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mgps.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10948"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.mgps.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10948\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11083,"href":"https:\/\/www.mgps.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10948\/revisions\/11083"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mgps.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mgps.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mgps.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10948"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mgps.com.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
