Should asset purchase agreement be notarized?
Do we need to notarize an APA? I have tried to do research online and cannot find anything. I am trying to budget for a new acquisition and want to make sure I have all of my ducks in a row. Are there any other documents I will need?
CRAIG C.
There is absolutely NO requirement that an asset purchase agreement be notarized. However, there is no harm to having it notarized.

Business Purchase Agreement

Who signs the business purchase agreement?
I am looking to purchase an existing business and am currently in the process of negotiating a business purchase agreement. I am not sure who is responsible for signing the agreement and would like to know who needs to sign in order for the agreement to be legally binding. I am hoping to get some clarification on this matter so that I can move forward with the purchase.
David B.
The short (but not very helpful) answer is: a person that is authorized by the business to bind the business. So, if the business being acquired in a corporation, it would likely be the CEO. During due diligence, the business being acquired should disclose that information and provide a copy of the minutes of a meeting of the Board of Directors showing that such person has been duly authorized. Occasionally, the CEO will sign an agreement stating that she has been duly authorized and is personally liable, and if she isn't she will be personally responsible for the problems tha arise. That being said, each deal is different depending on the facts. First, what type of entity is being acquired? Is it a corporation or LLC or partnership or something else? Second, what was done by the entity to vest authority in the person that will sign the acquisition agreement? Underlying all of this is the need to ensure that the seller is telling the truth. You may want to contact the department of corporation in your state to ensure that the entity has been duly registered, is current on all of its filing and verify that the person signing the agreement is listed on the paperwork.

How does an asset purchase agreement work with debt?
I am buying a business and want to use an asset purchase agreement based on what I've read, but I believe the company has debt. How does this work? Will I also be buying the debt? Any help is appreciated
Michael S.
Good morning. With the caveat that I am a Pennsylvania attorney, as the buyer, you do want to buy the assets and not the company. The drafting of the purchase agreement is critical, ensuring that you are not responsible for existing debt. You will also want to obtain an indemnification from the seller, to make sure you are protected in case any of the creditors come after you. Obviously, the details of the deal may complicate things, but that is the gist.

C corp and exit strategies?
I am the founder of a small C Corp that has been in business for 5 years. We have achieved success and grown significantly since our founding, but I am now considering different exit strategies. I am seeking legal advice about which exit strategies would be best for my C Corp and how to properly implement them.
Michael S.
There are a number of possible exit strategies, including a sale to a third party, a sale to an employee stock ownership plan, and a sale to an employee-owned cooperative corporation. Each of those approaches could be effected through a single transaction, or through multiple installments, or you could maintain some ownership of the business indefinitely. Each appraoch comes with certain relative advantages and disadvantages. Please contact me if you would like to discuss your options in greater detail.

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.
