Business Purchase Agreement

The Business Purchase Agreement is for purchasing a business in Australia and includes the following clauses:

  • sale of the business assets;
  • conditions to be satisfied prior to completion;
  • vendor's conduct of the business;
  • vendor assistance;
  • completion;
  • obligations of vendor at completion
  • transfer of employees;
  • conduct after completion
  • warranties and general indemnities;
  • intellectual property rights and personal information;
  • confidentiality;
  • restraint of trade or non-compete;
  • stamp duty, costs and expenses;
  • general provisions.

As all transactions are different the template does not include detailed warranties.

Before buying a business you should consider undertaking Due Diligence to review, among other things, the assets and liabilities and any risks associated with the acquisition.

 

 

 

Make sure you have read about the limitations of this type of agreement in the section on why you need Share or Business Purchase Agreements.  Business purchases can be complex transactions and it is likely that you will require more than the free hour of legal advice to complete the agreement.  If you are an AIIA member this follow on advice is provided at the discounted rates.

If you are buying shares in a company rather than its assets, you should consider the Share Purchase Agreement and the Shareholders' Deed.
