For small-business acquisitions and transitions
The deal closes.
The digital identity stays.
A controlled, documented retirement for a business’s digital identity.
Latchleave helps acquisition buyers and their advisers account for domains, email, software and connected services—with the former owner’s authorization.
AFTER THE SIGNATURES
A business can close while its accounts remain connected.
A domain may still receive mail. Software may still hold records. Password recovery or integrations may still point to an old business address. A cancellation alone doesn’t explain what was kept, moved, or left open.
Which digital assets transferred, which stayed with the seller, and what still depends on the old business?
A useful question at closeA MANAGED WIND-DOWN
Move from scattered access to a clear closeout.
Every step is scoped with the authorized owner. Provider capabilities and response times vary, so confirmations and unresolved items stay visible in the record.
- 01
Start with authorization
Agree the scope with the former owner and identify who can approve each decision.
- 02
Map the digital footprint
Inventory domains, business email, software accounts and connected services. Flag dependencies and exposure risks before anything is released.
- 03
Preserve, transfer or close
Work through the approved plan: keep needed records, coordinate asset transfers and request closures with each provider.
- 04
Leave a dated record
Document what was retained, transferred, closed and what still needs attention, including provider responses where available.
THE HANDOFF, IN WRITING
Know what’s finished.
Know what isn’t.
At the end of the work, you receive a dated record of what was retained, transferred, closed or remains unresolved. If selected domains need to stay under your control, Latchleave can support their ongoing care.
