An asset purchase agreement is a contract used in business sales to transfer assets rather than ownership of the company, allowing precise control over what is being sold.

An asset purchase agreement is a contract that transfers specific assets and related agreements from seller to buyer, while leaving liabilities with the seller unless assumed.
An APA focuses on assets rather than corporate stock. A stock purchase transfers ownership of the company as a legal entity; an APA allows selective asset transfer and precise liability allocation.
Look for a clear description of assets, price and adjustments, allocations for taxes, reps and warranties, closing conditions, and risk allocation provisions.
Typically a qualified business or corporate attorney drafts the APA, with input from tax and compliance advisors; local counsel may be helpful for California specifics.
Closing typically includes execution of documents, transfer of assets, payment, and any required consents, along with schedules and deliverables.
Due diligence involves reviewing contracts, asset status, liabilities, licenses, permits, and third party obligations to confirm value and risk.
Yes. Representations and warranties can be tailored, but should reflect known risks and realistic disclosures; any changes impact price and indemnities.
Timing depends on deal complexity. Straightforward transactions may close in weeks; complex bundles or regulatory issues can take longer.
