Information provided by Next Goal Advisory is general in nature and is intended to support business decision-making. It does not constitute legal, accounting, taxation, financial product, investment or lending advice. Clients should obtain advice from appropriately qualified professionals before making financial, legal, taxation, investment or business transaction decisions.
Business Broking Disclosure: Where business brokerage services are required, these services may be provided separately through the appropriately licensed business brokerage entity. Advisory and brokerage services should be treated as separate engagements. Where an adviser represents the vendor of a business being considered by a Next Goal Advisory client, the adviser represents the vendor in that transaction and Next Goal Advisory will not provide independent purchaser representation regarding that business. The relationship will be disclosed where applicable and prospective purchasers should obtain their own independent legal, accounting, taxation, financial and other professional advice.
