What are I9 Review requirements for new owners of existing businesses?
In case you are a new owner of a business as a successor in interest, having acquired an existing business, you may keep the acquired employers I-9 records rather than complete new Forms I-9 on employees who were also employees of the acquired employer. However, since you would be responsible for any errors, omissions or deficiencies in the acquired records, you may choose to protect yourself by having a new Form I-9 completed for each acquired non-exempt employee and attached to that employees original Form I-9.
