Asset Purchase Agreement

An Asset Purchase Agreement governs the sale and transfer of specific business assets, detailing what is included, excluded, and how liabilities are handled. This playbook walks through due diligence, valuation considerations, and risk allocation terms essential for a clean transaction.

Payment Terms

Why This Matters: Vague financial terms can cause payment delays, disputes, and unexpected costs, undermining financial stability and damaging the commercial relationship.

Negotiation strategy

If you're the Buyer:

Ensure payment milestones are clearly defined with specific percentages and conditions. Verify invoicing requirements include detailed descriptions and timelines for approval or dispute.

If you're the Seller:

Confirm payment schedules specify the method and timing of payments. Check dispute resolution clauses provide a clear process and timeline for resolving issues.
