Contracts to Sell a Business

We offer you a complete set of attorney-drafted contracts and agreements to successfully buy, sell, and appraise a business.

A business sale contract, or business purchase agreement, is a written contract between two or more individuals for the purpose of buying and selling a business.

The last update of our business sale contracts was completed in November 2006 by a licensed attorney.

Below is a list of what our complete package contains:

1) A Guide On "How To Estimate The Value Of Your Business." This guide explains some of the standard business valuation methods used by business appraisers. This informative guide walks you through the step-by-step process of estimating the value of your business with simple examples.

2) Report On How To Sell A Small Business - Selling a business is a little more complicated than merely placing a classified ad and waiting for the phone to ring. There are a number of things to consider and many things that have to be done before, during, and after the sales process. Our 9 page report on selling your business will give you an overview of the entire selling process.

3) Confidentiality Agreement - So you can reveal details to potential buyers and be assured they cannot legally disclose those details to your competitors or others.

Business owners will often let prospective buyers come in and examine their company’s records, discuss company earnings, vendor lists, customer lists, and just about everything else without the prospective buyer ever signing a non-disclosure agreement. What a great way for a competitor or anyone else with bad intentions to learn almost everything about your business…… just by asking.

The confidentiality agreement or non-disclosure agreement is a great screening tool as well; it shows how interested the potential buyer really is.

As an example, lets say a potential buyer is unwilling to sign a non-disclosure agreement. The most likely scenario is that they really are not that interested in buying your business and are more likely interested in handing information over to a competitor of yours...... or using your information to start their own business.

4) Business Purchase & Sale Agreement - We provide you with an attorney-drafted business purchase and sale agreement. A business sale agreement states what is being purchased, by whom, for how much, and when. In many cases it will also contain a "non-compete" clause which prevents the seller from restarting or being involved in a similar business within a set distance of the business being sold, and for a set time from the date of sale.

Also included is a sample business purchase and sale agreement that has been filled out. This sample agreement shows the actual details of the purchase and sale of a business and what a completed agreement would look like. Our attorney-drafted sample agreement is helpful and will save you time when you decide to buy or sell a business.

5) Business Bill of Sale - Once all the details are written down into the business purchase agreement and both parties have signed the contract, the sale will go ahead as described. On the date of sale, the seller must present a business bill of sale to the buyer. This bill of sale is like a receipt and states that the buyer has indeed purchased and paid for the business.
