Company sale agreements
Use these agreements to buy all the shares in a company. They deal with important corporate related matters before moving on the detailed area of warranties.
Variants provide for all situations, from buying a single company in a low value transaction to buying a group of companies with real property where extensive warranties are crucial.
If you are buying the business and its assets, rather than the shares, use one of our agreements for the sale or purchase of a business.
