How to Make a Business Purchase Agreement
A share purchase agreement (SPA) sets out the terms and conditions of the purchase and sale of company shares.
An asset purchase agreement is made between a buyer and seller and sets out the terms and conditions of the purchase of assets.
An asset purchase agreement deals with the assets of a business. These can include property, contracts, equipment and resources. Purchasing the assets of a company does not give you control over that company.
A share purchase agreement deals with the sale of shares in a business. Depending on the proportion sold to the buyer this could be a controlling stake or the entire business. The buyer would also be entitled to a share of the profits of the business.
