Tips
The two main types of acquisitions are a purchase of the seller’s entity or stock, or a purchase of the seller’s assets, known as an asset deal or sale. Asset deals are more common for smaller businesses. Asset deals are less risky for buyers because a buyer is not risking inheriting potential, unknown liabilities.
