How We Protect Your Business
Seller Transition Agreement Investigations
When a business is sold, the seller is often required to remain with the company for a specified post-closing transition period. These arrangements go by several names depending on the structure of the deal — but when a seller fails to comply, the consequences can be serious. Insite Investigations helps buyers, attorneys, and business owners document non-compliance and protect their interests.
Common Types of Transition Agreements
Post-Closing Employment Agreement
The seller remains with the company as an employee for a defined period to ensure continuity of operations, client relationships, and institutional knowledge.
Consulting Agreement
The seller stays on temporarily as an adviser, providing guidance during the transition without taking on a formal employment role.
Management Transition Agreement
The seller is responsible for transferring operations, key relationships, and management responsibilities to the new ownership team.
Earn-Out Period
Part of the sale price is contingent on the company meeting performance targets while the seller remains actively involved in the business.
Retention or Holdback Provision
A portion of the payment is withheld and released only after the seller fulfills their post-sale obligations as defined in the agreement.
When the Seller Does Not Comply
Seller non-compliance during a transition period can take many forms — from outright abandonment to subtle sabotage. Insite Investigations documents the evidence you need to enforce the agreement or pursue legal remedies.
Failure to Appear or Perform
The seller stops showing up, refuses to fulfill agreed duties, or becomes unreachable — leaving the buyer without the transition support they paid for.
Soliciting Clients or Employees
The seller contacts former clients or employees in violation of non-solicitation clauses, diverting business relationships to a competing venture.
Competing Business Activity
The seller opens or operates a competing business during the restricted period, in direct violation of non-compete provisions in the sale agreement.
Withholding Information or Assets
The seller fails to transfer critical business information, customer data, intellectual property, or physical assets as required under the agreement.
Sabotage or Interference
The seller actively undermines the business — damaging client relationships, spreading misinformation, or interfering with operations to the detriment of the new owner.
Earn-Out Manipulation
The seller manipulates performance metrics, delays revenue recognition, or takes actions designed to prevent earn-out targets from being met.

Evidence That Wins in Court
7-Figure Court Settlement: Laboratory Contract Fraud
Our client held an exclusive laboratory testing contract and suspected their samples were being diverted. An Insite investigator conducted covert mobile surveillance on the transport vehicle — and documented it making deliveries to a competing lab our client did not own or authorize.
The photographic and video evidence gathered by our team was presented in court. Our client received a seven-figure settlement as a result. When the stakes are this high, you need investigators who know how to build an airtight case.
