Types of Sales<\/p><\/h3><\/div>
When it comes to business succession through a sale, there are two types of sales.<\/p>\n<\/div>
- <\/i><\/span>
\n
Share Deal:<\/strong> The entire company is sold. The buyer acquires (almost) all of the company\u2019s shares. In a share deal, contracts with suppliers, employees, and others are also transferred, but the respective parties must re-sign the contracts. Similarly, debts, rights, and obligations are transferred. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/li>- <\/i><\/span>
\n
Asset Deal:<\/strong> Assets and economic interests (real estate, trademark rights, etc.) are sold individually. The seller has the advantage of being able to retain certain assets, while the buyer has the advantage of not being liable for tax liabilities and similar obligations. New contracts must be entered into. The effort involved here is greater than in a share deal. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/li><\/ul>
