Asset purchases are often preferred when a buyer wants to select specific assets and avoid hidden liabilities. Stock purchases may be used when the buyer seeks to acquire the seller’s entity and all its liabilities. Tax considerations and potential step-up in basis are important factors to review with a CPA.
Common liabilities can include contracts, permits, and warranties assumed in the deal. The agreement should identify which liabilities transfer and specify remedies if issues arise after closing.
The asset schedule typically lists each asset to be transferred, its description, value, and any exclusions. It may also include liens, contracts, and intellectual property related to the transaction.
Processing time varies with deal complexity, but clear scope and timely diligence can shorten the timeline. We’ll outline a realistic timeline and keep you updated at each stage.
Tax advice is advisable because asset purchases can have different tax consequences than other sale structures. Consult with a tax professional to align the deal with your tax planning goals.
In many cases, you can back out before signing or under certain contingencies outlined in the agreement. Once signed, termination rights depend on the contract terms and applicable law.
Typical closing conditions include satisfaction of covenants, delivery of clear title, and receipt of required consents. We tailor these conditions to fit your transaction.
The drafting is usually performed by the party’s attorney or transactional team. Our firm can prepare a comprehensive asset purchase agreement and coordinate reviews with all parties.
