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.

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!

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.

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.
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.

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.
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.
Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.

Contracts 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.
