Buy/Sell Agreements

Learn more about small business services

What is a Buy/Sell Agreement?

  

A buy/sell agreement is a legally binding contract designed to protect the interests of business owners and ensure the smooth transfer of ownership in the event of death, disability, or retirement. 


A buy/sell agreement outlines the terms and conditions of buying out a partner's share of the business, including the purchase price, payment terms, and the process for transferring ownership. 


What are the Advantages of a Buy/Sell Agreement?

  

A Buy/Sell Agreement benefits small businesses, partnerships, and other closely held entities, providing a framework for addressing the transfer of ownership. 


When an organization has a buy/sell agreement, owners can have peace of mind knowing there’s a plan in place and their business will continue operating smoothly.


The buy/sell agreement can also protect a business from potential disputes that may arise when a partner exits the business. Buy/sell agreements set clear guidelines for purchasing a partner's share, which can help prevent disagreements or legal battles over the company's value. 


How Can an Attorney Assist with a Buy/Sell Agreement?

  

A lawyer can lend a hand with buy/sell agreements by:


  • Advising on tax implications and helping negotiate terms to protect the interests of all parties involved.


  • Drafting a legally binding buy/sell agreement for the sale or transfer of ownership interest in a business.


  • Defining triggering events and establishing a valuation method for determining the purchase price of the organization. 


  • Periodically reviewing and updating the agreement to ensure it remains relevant and enforceable.
