Buy or sell business assets, cleanly.

An asset purchase agreement governs the sale of a business's specific assets, rather than its stock, letting a buyer acquire chosen assets and generally leave most liabilities behind. It is a common structure for acquiring a business. We keep your entity and records organized so a transaction runs cleanly.

In an asset purchase the buyer acquires selected assets and usually avoids most liabilities, while in a stock purchase the buyer acquires the whole company including its liabilities, so the two allocate risk very differently. We flag which structure fits your goals so the deal is set up the right way.

Because a buyer can pick the assets it wants and generally leave behind unknown or unwanted liabilities, reducing risk, which is why buyers often favor asset deals. We flag the trade-offs so, whichever side you are on, the structure reflects a deliberate choice about risk and tax.

It identifies the assets being bought, the price and allocation, assumed and excluded liabilities, representations and warranties, and closing conditions, so both sides know exactly what transfers. We flag the terms that matter so the agreement clearly defines what is and is not part of the deal.

They differ from a stock deal and depend on how the purchase price is allocated across assets, which affects both parties, so tax treatment is a major factor in structuring. We keep the entity and records organized and flag where tax counsel should shape the allocation.

Yes: even though a buyer avoids many liabilities, due diligence on the assets, contracts, and the business still matters to confirm what is being bought. We keep your records organized so due diligence, on either side, is smoother and the deal is not held up.

Contracts do not always transfer automatically and may need consent to assign, so identifying and handling key contracts is part of an asset deal. We flag how contracts are treated so important agreements are addressed rather than assumed to carry over.

Because an asset sale happens at the entity level, keeping your entity and records clean makes the transaction and its diligence smoother, on either side. We keep your entity organized so an asset purchase rests on trustworthy records.

We keep your entity and records organized so an asset purchase is clean, flag the structure, allocation, and diligence considerations, and coordinate with your counsel and tax advisors, so the transaction is set up to close smoothly. See due diligence.
