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.

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.

Stock Purchase Agreement

Connecticut

Asked on Aug 4, 2023

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.

Answered Aug 25, 2023

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.
