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.
Provisions of an APA may include payment of purchase price, monthly installments, liens and encumbrances on the assets, condition precedent for the closing, etc. An APA differs from a stock purchase agreement (SPA) where company shares, title to assets, and title to liabilities are also sold.
Once the basic terms of the asset sale are agreed, the buyer's solicitor will normally draft the contact of sale. These legal agreements are usually complex and will need to be reviewed by the seller and their solicitor and any amendments agreed between both parties.
