It is our desire that each company we represent be portrayed accurately in its current and recent financial history.

We rarely have access to those original documents and therefore we rely upon the copies and other data supplied by the Seller. We therefore recommend that during the review of records period that follows the offer, all financial and other information be independently verified and reviewed by your retained accountant and/or attorneys. By signing this document, the Undersigned agrees that GMA shall not be held liable for any misstatements or errors in information received from Sellers.(Required)
