Purchase of Assets

In the context of mergers and acquisitions, the purchase of assets refers to when one company buys specific assets from another company rather than acquiring the entire business. These assets can include equipment, property, patents, or customer lists. This approach allows the buyer to choose valuable parts of the business while potentially avoiding liabilities or debts associated with the seller. It’s a strategic way to expand operations, enter new markets, or acquire technology without taking on unnecessary risks from the previous owner.
