Information & Benefits:
The following information and benefits is what distinguishes us from other online providers.

Special Note

Most transactions for small business sales should probably be via an Asset Purchase/Sale Agreement. The Sale of Stock method is generally less preferable because the Buyer can never be absolutely sure of the debts or liabilities of the corporation being purchased. Conversely, an Asset Purchase/Sale Agreement allows the Buyer to take control of a business without assuming any of the corporation's liabilities! In addition, the Buyer gets a stepped-up tax basis on the depreciable assets of the business being purchased
.

Sale and Purchase of Shares

Seller promises to sell the Shares free and clear of all liens and encumbrances and evidencing a one hundred percent (100%) ownership interest in the Company. The stock will be fully paid, non-callable and non-assessable. Seller shall take such action as required to transfer the Shares to Purchaser at Closing.

Purchase Price, Payment & Security

The total price is indicated here and the terms of payment follow. Usually, there is a cash deposit with the balance paid at close. The balance may be paid in cash or pursuant to a promissory note or the balance due may be deferred until a later date. (Various methods for paying off balance including, but not limited to: monthly, quarterly, and annual payments, variable or fixed interest rates, balloon payments, etc.) NOTE: If the balance due is paid pursuant to a promissory note, the lender may require security.

Representations & Warranties of Seller
The Selling Shareholder acknowledges his understanding and acceptance of the following:


-- That the Company is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of incorporation, and the certificate of incorporation and amendments thereto and by-laws delivered to Buyer are complete, correct and current.
-- That the Company is not required to be qualified to do business in any other state.
-- That the Company's common stock is validly issued and outstanding, fully paid and non assessable, and the Seller has full right, title, and interest without any liens, restrictions on transfer, or encumbrances thereon, and, accordingly, the shares delivered to Buyer herewith constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company.
-- That there are no outstanding options or rights to purchase shares of the Company and no outstanding securities with right of conversion into shares of the Company.
-- That the Company has good title to all of the assets set forth in an exhibit, free of all liens and encumbrances, and there were no liabilities, whether fixed or contingent, and the Company had no nonrecurring items of income at Closing.
-- That there has been no change in the condition, assets, liabilities, or business of the Company, other than changes in the ordinary course of business, none of which has been materially adverse, and Seller has no knowledge of any facts that materially and adversely affect the prospects of the Company's business.
-- That all machinery and equipment of the Company are in good condition and repair.
-- That the Company has filed all federal, state, and local tax returns that it is required to file by the date hereof and has paid all taxes due on such returns, and such returns are in all respects true and accurate. Copies of all such returns have been delivered to Buyer.

Seller's Documents

-- Stock certificate constituting the Seller's one hundred percent ownership interest in the Company, duly executed and assigned to Purchaser.
-- Resignation of Seller as an officer and director of the Company.
-- Copies of all bank statements and all cancelled checks of the Company.

-- Original releases of liens executed by all labor and material men of the Company who have performed work for the Company.
-- Stock Certificate #2, which will be issued to Purchaser at Closing, constituting the Purchaser's one hundred percent ownership interest in the Company, duly executed by Seller.

Mediation and Arbitration
Mediation and Arbitration should always specify a location in Client's jurisdiction (preferably, in the same county where they run their business). Mediation is a non-binding way to settle the dispute quickly and amicably. If unable to settle in mediation, arbitration is first option available. Arbitration is the preferred alternative to litigation because of speed, cost, and ability to maintain low profile (no info is publicly available).

Jurisdiction & Venue

Always make venue and jurisdiction as convenient to client (Seller) as possible.

No Modification or Waiver

No modifications except those specifically agreed upon by the parties in writing. Any waiver of a term or provision will not act as a waiver of any other provision.

Notices

Notices should always list the current and best addresses where each party may contact the other for whatever reason.
