Any attorney will say it depends on what type of financial information the buyer is requesting. Typically, it is a couple years of financials (profit and loss). If the business is not making money or barely breaking even, you should disclose this in the contract of sale to avoid claims of misrepresentation and fraud later on.Consult with an attorney in your area for specifics.
