Asset purchase agreements outline what assets are transferred, the purchase price structure, and how liabilities are handled.
They address representations and warranties, covenants, closing conditions, and remedies to set clear expectations for both sides.
An asset purchase agreement is a contract that transfers select assets from a seller to a buyer, rather than the entire business. It helps buyers preserve value and manage risk by avoiding assumed liabilities.
Key elements include the asset list, purchase price structure, allocation of assets, liability assumptions, representations and warranties, covenants, and closing mechanics. The process typically includes due diligence, drafting, negotiation, and closing.
A glossary of common terms helps clients understand asset purchase agreements.
Asset: the specific items transferred to the buyer, such as equipment, inventory, licenses, contracts, and goodwill.

An asset purchase agreement focuses on transferring specific assets rather than the entire business. It identifies included items and excludes what is not part of the deal. The agreement also sets out how liabilities are handled and how payment is structured.
An asset purchase transfers assets and often provides liability limitations, while a stock purchase transfers ownership of the company itself and may expose all liabilities. The choice depends on risk tolerance, tax considerations, and desired control of the ongoing business.
Liabilities typically addressed include assumed obligations, undisclosed contracts, and potential claims. The agreement often contains indemnities and cap or basket provisions to manage risk between the parties.
Due diligence materials may include asset lists, contract schedules, employment information, licenses, and any pending claims. Having organized documents facilitates faster review and accurate drafting.
Assets can be transferred with existing contracts, but assignments and consent from third parties are often required. The agreement should specify necessary consents and steps to effect transfers.
