About this template
What is this template?
This is an asset-only purchase agreement for a restaurant where the buyer does not assume the seller's general liabilities. It contains unique mechanisms for the buyer to pay the seller's creditors directly from the purchase price and requires specific clearance letters from utility providers and landlords. It is not a share purchase agreement or a transfer of the legal entity itself.
When should you use it?
Use this when purchasing physical restaurant equipment, furniture, and inventory from a running business while ensuring the purchase price clears the seller's specific debts. Use a Business Sale Agreement instead if you are acquiring the entire company including its employees, tax history, and all contracts.
