Florida Business Purchase Agreement

Buying or selling a business in Florida? Use our Florida business purchase agreement to record the sale of a business.

Published February 21, 2022

If you are embarking on the purchase of a business in Florida, it can be both exciting and daunting. There are many things that need to be taken care of, and several documents need to be filled out and finalized. One of these documents is a Florida business purchase agreement. This document is basically the contract for the sale of the business. Let’s take a closer look at buying and selling a business in Florida and the details of a business purchase agreement.

How to Buy and Sell a Business in Florida?

Whether you are buying or selling a business in Florida, here are the basic steps you will need to complete, as well as such additional documents you may want to consider such as:

  • Florida Bill of Sale
  • Commercial Lease Agreement
  • Trademark Assignment Agreement
  • Non-Compete Agreement

How to Sell a Business in Florida?

The first thing to do when selling your business is to determine what it is worth. Look at all of your financial statements, earnings, and assets. It may be beneficial to have a comprehensive business analysis done by a business broker.

After you have decided the price of your business, the next step is to come up with a marketing strategy. You will need to reach potential buyers and make them aware that your business is available for purchase.

As parties start to show interest, you can start having meetings with the prospective buyers. You will need to determine if they have the financial means and interest needed to purchase and successfully run the business.

Once you have a list of potential buyers who have submitted offers, you can choose one and begin the closing process. You will need to create a FL business purchase agreement that defines all the terms and conditions of the sale.

How to Buy a Business in Florida?

When buying a business in Florida, you first want to decide what type of business best fits your skills and interests. Then, you need to determine what your budget is and how you will go about financing. Once you have done that, you can start looking for businesses available for purchase.

As soon as you find the perfect one, you will want to set up a meeting with the seller. If you are still interested after your initial meeting, you will then submit an offer through a letter of intent to the seller.

If they accept your offer, you will need to go over the business purchase agreement and finalize the purchase. There will likely be negotiations on the sale price between you and the seller before you come to an agreed-upon sale price.

What Needs to Be Included in a Florida Business Purchase Agreement?

Toward the end of a sale, both the buyer and seller will need to sign a Florida business purchase agreement. At the very least, this agreement should include:

• Who the seller is

• Who the buyer is

• The sale price

• What the sale includes, including all assets, equipment, etc.

• Whether existing employees will still work at the business after the sale

• The closing date

• If and how existing loans will be transferred
