Acquisitions Legal Questions and Answers

Acquisitions

Business Purchase Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 19, 2023

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.

Answered Nov 25, 2023

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.

Acquisitions

Asset Purchase Agreement

Texas

Asked on Mar 30, 2021

What is the difference between an asset purchase agreement and business purchase agreement?

I am selling my e-commerce store and want to know which one of these I need.

Forest H.

Answered Mar 30, 2021

Just like the name suggests, an asset purchase agreement is just that – an agreement to purchase existing assets. This would be the appropriate document to use if you are buying or selling some or all of the assets of a business but not the business itself. For example, if you own a yard service company and you are interested in buying all of the mowers, trucks, and equipment of another yard service business. An asset purchase agreement would give a defined list of the equipment you are purchasing. If you were interested in buying the whole business, including existing contracts, assuming the debt, and retaining the other business’s employees and perhaps even their name, you would want a business purchase agreement.

Acquisitions

Lock-up Agreement

California

Asked on Jan 7, 2025

Can you explain the purpose and implications of a lock-up agreement in the context of a business acquisition?

I am currently in the process of selling my small business to a larger corporation. As part of the negotiations, the acquiring company has proposed including a lock-up agreement in the deal. While I have a general understanding that a lock-up agreement restricts the sale of shares for a specified period after the acquisition, I would like a more detailed explanation of its purpose and potential implications. Specifically, I would like to know how long the lock-up period typically lasts, whether there are any exceptions or conditions that may allow me to sell my shares before the lock-up period expires, and what potential risks or advantages I should consider before agreeing to such an arrangement.

Phillip Z.

Answered Jan 18, 2025

Entering into a lock-up agreement when selling your business can have significant implications. Depending on the complexity of the transaction, the lock-up period can range from a few months to over a year. A lock-up agreement may limit your ability to negotiate certain aspects of timing and terms. However, it can also help stabilize a potential acquisition and mitigate risk for the buyer. Being unable to sell your interest in the business during the lock-up period can impact liquidity and your ability to manage the tax effects of the eventual sale. Of course, the specific terms within the lock-up agreement will play a crucial role.

Acquisitions

Asset Purchase Agreement

Texas

Asked on Oct 4, 2022

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

John S.

Answered Oct 28, 2022

It depends. If you want to use an asset purchase agreement to purchase just the assets of the company instead of the entire company, then an asset purchase agreement is the way to go as you could avoid taking on the company's existing debts. However, if you plan to buy the business as a whole I would expect you will inherit the debts as well unless you draft a release from the former owners.

Corporate

Asset Purchase Agreement

Texas

Asked on Oct 4, 2022

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?

Michael S.

Answered Nov 8, 2022

First, I highly recommend you get legal representation in connection with your purchase agreement. Second, I'm not a Texas lawyer, but generally an asset purchase agreement will not need to be notarized.
