Equity purchase agreement (stock or membership interest)
templateCovers buying or selling ownership itself — corporate shares or LLC membership interest — for any percentage from a small minority stake up to 100%. Unlike an asset purchase, the buyer generally does inherit the company's existing contracts, licenses, and liabilities along with the ownership.
Good fit for
- +A full acquisition of a company's ownership (100%)
- +A partial equity investment (e.g. "$100,000 for a 10% stake") — the classic outside-investor deal structure
Not ideal for
- −A buyer wanting to cherry-pick specific assets while avoiding existing liabilities — use the asset purchase agreement instead
