In this context, assets may include equipment, inventory, intellectual property, contracts, permits, and goodwill, while liabilities may be limited to those expressly assumed by the buyer.
A well-drafted agreement identifies the purchase price, allocation of assets, liabilities, schedules of excluded assets, due diligence timelines, and closing deliverables, with clear representations and warranties.
