ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENTS

What is an Asset Purchase Agreement?

An Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) is a legal document that facilitates the sale and purchase of a business’s assets rather than its shares. This type of agreement allows the buyer to selectively acquire specific assets and liabilities from the seller, offering a tailored approach to business transactions. APAs, focusing on the acquisition of certain assets, are particularly advantageous for buyers looking to customize their investment by choosing valuable assets while avoiding unwanted liabilities.

In the UK, APAs are commonly used for various reasons, including the flexibility they offer in transactions, potential tax advantages, and the ability to mitigate risks associated with hidden liabilities. These agreements detail the assets being purchased, such as tangible property (land, machinery, equipment) and intangible property (intellectual property, goodwill, business contracts), and outline the terms and conditions under which the assets are transferred.

Drafting Asset Purchase Agreements

Asset Purchase Agreements offer a strategic pathway for acquiring or divesting specific business assets, allowing for a tailored approach to business transactions. Unlike share purchases, APAs enable you to selectively acquire or dispose of tangible and intangible assets, providing flexibility and precision in structuring your business’s future.
