Asset Purchase Contract
Texas
Business has been sold
I sold my business in 9-2016 for $300,000 at 6% interest and received $4500 a month for payments then in January 2020 lowered the payments to $3000. How long until the note is paid off? Also the buyers now think they paid too much and want to change the amount, can they so that?

Hello, Everything will depend on what your contract states. If the agreement said they paid the amount they did, it would not matter if they now think otherwise but it depends on your agreement. Generally, any modifications and revisions to an agreement must be in writing and signed by the parties. This would also need to be in your agreement. How I can help - I can review your agreement and advise you on how to take next steps with the buyers. You can connect with me through the website or directly to my profile page at Donya Gordon Esq.

No, but you definitely need to have one, preferably reviewed and prepared by a lawyer; there are a lot of businesses that will give you templates, etc., but do not have the experience and knowledge that a lawyer brings to the table.

What is the basis for the additional $5K? In general, if you never consented to it in a contract, asking for more is a breach of contract and you can sue to enforce the contract at the original price or sue to recover the cost to complete the project with someone else.

Does a business purchase agreement need witnesses?
I am considering purchasing a business and I am in the process of drafting a business purchase agreement. I understand that certain documents and agreements require witnesses to be present, but I am unsure if a business purchase agreement is one of them. I would like to know if a business purchase agreement needs witnesses or not.
Michael A.
A Business Purchase Agreement does not REQUIRE witnesses. However, witnesses, if unaffiliated and uninterested 3rd parties, witness the execution signatures on the Business Purchase Agreement, it may become important if a dispute arises between buyer and seller.

- Include due dates, frequency, and delivery methods for reports, meetings, and other intermittent tasks. - Establish metrics and KPIs for quantifying performance, progress, and acceptable quality measures. Have a lawyer help you draft a clear set of requirements UP FRONT.
