What to keep in mind
Identify assets, contractual assignments, employee matters, permits, valuation, delivery and any liabilities arising under mandatory law.
Not all permits or ongoing customer agreements automatically transfer.
Distinctions often confused
An asset deal and a share purchase do not entail the same succession or risk profile.
Frequently asked questions
Can only one business division be purchased?
Potentially, through a properly delimited transfer.
Will suppliers automatically remain bound after the sale?
That depends on the agreements, statutory rules and necessary consents.
