During the due diligence process, certain information would be reviewed, such as stock sale restrictions or protections. These may include a "right of first refusal" giving the non-public company the right to first purchase the stock before the investing purchaser. If such restrictions do not exist, then the purchaser is free to buy the shares. All purchasers should want their purchases recorded with the company ... Read More
