Common questions
What's the difference between an asset sale and a stock sale?
In an asset sale the buyer picks which assets and liabilities it takes. In a stock sale the buyer takes the whole company, including its liabilities. Each choice has different tax and risk consequences.
Is a letter of intent binding?
Usually only in part. Price and deal terms are often non-binding, while confidentiality and exclusivity provisions typically are binding.
