Stock Purchase Agreement

California

Asked on Jul 20, 2023

Stock purchase agreement and survival period?

I am a small business owner looking to purchase a stock from another business. I am in the process of reviewing the Stock Purchase Agreement and have a question regarding the survival period. I need to understand the meaning of the survival period and how long it lasts, as it is an important factor when making the decision to purchase the stock.

Acquisitions

Business Purchase Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 15, 2023

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.

Answered Nov 21, 2023

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.

Acquisitions

Business Purchase Agreement

California

Asked on Oct 15, 2023

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.

Answered Nov 25, 2023

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.

Asset Purchase Agreement

Texas

Asked on Mar 30, 2021

Who drafts the asset purchase agreement?

I have just put my business up for sale and doing some research on what legal documents will be needed in the future.

Ramsey T.

Answered Mar 30, 2021

It depends. In many cases the lawyers representing the seller draft the asset purchase agreement. This is not always the case and at least forty percent (40%) of the deals I have worked on have featured the buyer drafting the asset purchase agreement. Who drafts the agreement may often depend upon who is in a stronger position and/or who has attorneys with the bandwidth to properly support the deal, as envisioned in the relevant term sheet.

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.

I 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.
