Is a business purchase agreement binding?
I am interested in purchasing a business and I am currently in the process of negotiating a business purchase agreement. I am curious to know if the agreement is binding and what legal implications it may have if I decide to move forward with the purchase. I have read through the agreement and I understand the terms and conditions, however, I would like to know if the agreement is legally binding.
David B.
It seems that you are thinking of signing a letter of intent. A letter of intent ("LOI") is normally used to summarize the key points of a deal upon which the parties have reached an understanding. It is a prelude to a full set of agreements used to purchase a business. After the LOI is signed, the parties negotiate the minutiae of a deal and prepare the final set of agreement. LOIs usually contain a statement that the LOI does not bind either party to move forward with a deal. For the most part this is true. However, case law is replete with cases where the LOI was enforced against an unwilling party despite the disclaimer in the LOI. Generally speaking, courts will enforce an LOI where one party did not act in good faith after the LOI was signed, refused to negotiate or signed the LOI for nefarious purposes. A person contemplating an LOI should not assume that language saying the agreement is not binding will clear them of all responsibility. There is a duty to negotiate in good faith.

What's an earn-out in a business purchase agreement?
I am looking to purchase a business and the seller has proposed an earn-out as part of the purchase agreement. I am unfamiliar with this type of agreement and need advice on how it works and what I need to consider before agreeing to it. I would like to understand what an earn-out entails and the potential risks and rewards associated with it.
James H.
For informational purposes, NOT legal advice: In some service businesses, where there is not hard property asset value but the company is making money, an agreement called "earnout" allows the seller to continue working as part of the compensation. For example, a consulting company may have ongoing business that is dependent on the seller being involved, due to familiarity and personal loyalty. These agreements differ from seller financing in that the seller's employment is subject to continued business volume, therefore the buyer has some assurance that the seller (and their friends, co-workers, relatives,etc.) do NOT try to divert the existing customer revenue stream to a different business with similar services. Yes, some sellers cleverly attempt to sell their business and then set up a competitor in their kids, spouse or relative name to recapture the revenue and tiptoe over the non-compete seller clause In these situations the buyer may offer a Earnout to protect their interest and insure the revenue keeps coming in while the new owners learn the detalls and customer base. Other situations where "Earnout" may be preferable include business sales where the subject business is a subcontractor or heavily dependent on one or a small few number of clients, which makes the business revenue stream highly subject to rapid change. Buyers should be careful not to pay for a company AND then also do a "earnout" since that would be paying twice.

Stock purchase agreement and stock options?
I am a prospective buyer of a business and I am currently in the process of negotiating a Stock Purchase Agreement. As part of the agreement, I am interested in understanding what types of stock options may be available to me and what rights I may have as a shareholder. I am looking to understand the terms and conditions of the stock purchase agreement in relation to stock options before I move forward with the purchase.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
