What is a Asset Purchase Agreement?
An Asset Purchase Agreement (APA) is a legal contract used in the United States to facilitate the transfer of ownership of assets from a seller to a buyer. Unlike a stock purchase agreement, which involves buying company shares, an APA specifically focuses on the sale of tangible and intangible assets such as machinery, patents, and trademarks. This document outlines the specific details of the transaction, including the assets being sold, the purchase price, warranties, and other relevant terms. Our AI-driven solution simplifies the creation process, ensuring compliance with American legal standards while saving you time and effort.
