What is a business purchase agreement?
A business purchase agreement is a contract recording the sale of a business. It sets out the price, the assets or shares included, the payment structure, and the closing conditions, giving the buyer and seller a clear, binding framework for exactly what is changing hands and on what terms.
What key terms should a business purchase agreement cover?
It should specify the purchase price and payment terms, the assets or liabilities included or excluded, and any representations and warranties. Add closing conditions, transition arrangements, non-compete clauses, and how disputes are handled so both parties understand their obligations before the deal closes.
What is the difference between an asset sale and a share sale?
In an asset sale, the buyer purchases specific assets and may leave certain liabilities behind. In a share sale, the buyer acquires ownership of the company itself, including its assets and obligations. The choice affects taxes, liability, and which contracts transfer, so it should be clearly stated.
