A SPA is a legally binding contract that sets out the terms and conditions of a sale between a buyer and a seller. It is typically used in the context of buying and selling a business or a significant asset, such as shares in a company.
When you buy common stocks, you're actually buying a small part of the company that issued it. As an owner, you could be entitled to certain benefits, like voting rights and shares of the company's profits. And if the company does well, and the value of the stock goes up, you'll be able to sell your stock for a profit.
What should be included in a buy-sell agreement? Any stakeholders, including partners or owners, and their current stake in the business' equity. Events that would trigger a buyout, such as death, disability, divorce, retirement, or bankruptcy. A recent business valuation.
When is a contract legally binding? Typically, a document that includes an offer, acceptance, and appropriate consideration will be considered legally binding. In most cases, a contract is binding in Arizona even if the parties signed it in another state.
