When buying or selling a business contact a real estate closing attorney who can guide you through the experience. The legal process of buying and selling a business can be complex and involves the purchase or sale of the stock or assets of a company. The transfer can be structured as an acquisition or as a merger.

• Acquisitions may be asset purchases or stock purchases where the buyer purchases the business as a stock and takes over the ongoing concern of the business, as opposed to just buying the merchandise and equipment.
• A merger can share many characteristics of an asset purchase and a stock purchase, but at the completion of the transaction, the two businesses are combined as one.
