As you grow your business, you need to improve your workflow. This can be by purchasing new and better equipment, building or acquiring new facilities, or getting patents that will improve your process. If there’s an organization willing to sell any of these assets to you, you’ll need an asset purchase agreement to make it official.
But this also works both ways. Sometimes you can improve your process by selling off extra weight. Maybe you don’t need to make certain materials in-house, and a facility is better off being sold to a partner you can purchase materials from. It’s not uncommon for patents to be useful in processes or technologies in other fields. That revenue can help you build-out. So if you need to make a sale, you would also need a purchase agreement.

There are specific kinds of assets that an asset purchase agreement can handle. These include physical assets and non-physical assets, such as:
These agreements are for the benefit of buyers and sellers. They provide legal assurances that allow both parties to rest easy knowing they will receive their payment or property. Without an attorney, you can find yourself signing an agreement that can trick you into owing more money or receiving less than you intended. We’ll write up the contract for you and the other party, or in collaboration with their legal team and read between the lines to make sure everything is safe.
