An asset purchase agreement is a powerful acquisitions tool. In some cases, the asset purchase agreement is very straight forward. You wish to purchase three specific bucket trucks, and simply need to ensure that the transaction is properly structured and executed and the assets are free of any liens or claims.
In other cases, it may be important to ensure that certain performance benchmarks are met, that customers transition smoothly while maintaining existing goodwill. In most cases a “hold-back” or escrow may be created to offset unforeseen complications, mechanical issues, production differences or other complications.
