Sale of Business AssetsReport the sale of your business assets on Form 8594 and Form 4797, and attach these forms to your final tax return. Form 8594 is the Asset Acquisition Statement, which the buyer and seller must complete and submit to the IRS.
In an asset purchase, the buyer will only buy certain assets of the seller's company. The seller will continue to own the assets that were not included in the purchase agreement with the buyer. The transfer of ownership of certain assets may need to be confirmed with filings, such as titles to transfer real estate.
An asset purchase agreement is an agreement between a buyer and a seller to purchase property, like business assets or real property, either on their own or as part of a merger-acquisition.
An asset purchase involves the purchase of the selling company's assets -- including facilities, vehicles, equipment, and stock or inventory. A stock purchase involves the purchase of the selling company's stock only.
An asset sale involves the purchase of some or all of the assets owned by a company. Examples of common assets which are sold include; plant and equipment, land, buildings, machinery, stock, goodwill, contracts, records and intellectual property (including domain names and trademarks).
In an asset sale, you retain the legal entity of the business and only sell the business' assets. For example, say you run a rental car company owned by Harry Smith Pty Ltd. You decide that you need to sell 50% of your fleet to upgrade your vehicles and want to sell those vehicles in one transaction to one buyer.
In an asset sale, a firm sells some or all of its actual assets, either tangible or intangible. The seller retains legal ownership of the company that has sold the assets but has no further recourse to the sold assets. The buyer assumes no liabilities in an asset sale.
The bill of sale is typically delivered as an ancillary document in an asset purchase to transfer title to tangible personal property. It does not cover intangible property (such as intellectual property rights or contract rights) or real property.
Your company will also still exist after an asset sale, and administratively you will still need to take steps to dissolve the company and deal with any remaining liabilities and assets. Unlike a stock sale, 100% of the interests of a company can usually be transferred without the consent of all of the stockholders.
