About this template

What is this template?

This document is an asset-only purchase agreement for a restaurant business and is not a share purchase agreement. It contains specific mechanics for the buyer to pay the purchase price directly to the seller's bank, landlord, and electricity board. It includes a joint and several indemnity from the partnership firm's individual partners.

When should you use it?

Use this when acquiring the equipment, furniture, and inventory of a restaurant in India where the seller has outstanding liabilities like term loans or rent. Use a Share Purchase Agreement instead if you are acquiring the entire legal entity rather than just the physical assets.
