Business Transfer Agreement Template

The Business Transfer Agreement is very similar to an asset sale agreement because it is used when selling the business and assets of a business as a going concern. The Business Transfer Agreement is commonly used for the transfer of lower value businesses or where the buyer is very familiar with the business and detailed warranties are not required.

The agreement is a comprehensive short form agreement suitable for transferring a business from an individual, partnership or company to another individual, company or partnership. The agreement can be used to transfer any type of business and includes clauses for the transfer of employees where needed. If you are selling or buying a business which involves the transfer of employees we recommend that you take professional advice as there are very detailed rules arising under the Transfer of Undertakings Regulations.
