Business Purchase Agreement
California
Can I assign rights in a business purchase agreement?
I am in the process of purchasing a business and I am considering assigning some of my rights under the purchase agreement to a third party. I would like to know if this is allowed under the law and what the potential risks or consequences might be. I am also interested in understanding the steps that need to be taken to ensure that all parties are adequately protected under the agreement.
David B.
The general rule is that contracts may be freely assigned to third parties. However, most agreements have clauses that limit or prohibit assignment unless the non-assigning party agrees to the assignment.

LLC
Texas
Can I sell my LLC post-formation?
I am an entrepreneur looking to start a business and am considering forming a limited liability company (LLC). I have done my research and understand the basics of forming an LLC, but I am now curious to know if I can sell my LLC post-formation. I want to ensure that the structure of my LLC will provide me with the flexibility to sell if the opportunity arises.
Darryl S.
Yes, you typically can sell an LLC post-formation. Some key points to consider if you may want to sell your LLC in the future: - You retain flexibility to sell membership interests (ownership units) in the LLC rather than the entity itself. This keeps things simpler as transferring formal LLC ownership requires dissolution paperwork. - The operating agreement should clearly outline members' rights and rules around transferring units, such as rights of first refusal and valuation mechanisms. This gives buyers confidence in the process. - Discuss with a lawyer and accountant to set up the appropriate LLC structure for your situation. For example, a single-member vs multi-member LLC may have different implications for a future sale. - Maintain detailed financial records and consistent bookkeeping. This will streamline the due diligence process for prospective buyers. So in short, yes an LLC remains a saleable entity after formation. Consider rules for transfers in the operating agreement, structure properly at the start, and keep excellent records. This gives you maximum flexibility for an ownership exit strategy via selling your LLC interest. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional questions!

Business Purchase Agreement
California
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.

Stock Purchase Agreement
Connecticut
What is a stock purchase agreement?
I am a small business owner looking to purchase a company and I am interested in understanding more about a stock purchase agreement. I understand that this type of agreement is used when a buyer wishes to purchase the stock of a company, but I would like to learn more about the specifics of the agreement and what is involved in the process.
Thomas L.
There are two ways to purchase a company. Buy its assets individually, or purchase the stock of the company. Buying the assets is more legal work, and more expensive and disruptive to the purchased business' relationship with third parties such as employees, customers, vendors, and banks, but avoids assuming the liabilities of the selling company. Buying the stock of the company is far less disruptive, but runs the risk of assuming undisclosed liabilities of the company.

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.
