When buying or selling a business, one of the first decisions is whether to structure the transaction as an asset sale or a share sale. Each has different legal, tax, and practical implications.
Asset Sale: The buyer purchases specific assets and assumes specific liabilities. Offers more control over what is acquired but may be more complex.
Share Sale: The buyer purchases the company’s shares, acquiring the entire entity including all assets and liabilities. Simpler but carries more risk.
The right choice depends on your specific circumstances, tax position, and risk appetite.
