Purchase / sale of Assets

The Purchase or Sale of Assets refers to the transaction where an individual or business entity buys or sells tangible and intangible assets, such as equipment, real estate, intellectual property, or inventory. Unlike the sale of a business, asset transactions involve the transfer of ownership of specific assets rather than the entire business entity. These transactions are common in various business operations, such as mergers, acquisitions, restructuring, or divestments.
