Business transfer agreement
A transfer of a business or part of a business involves considerably more than agreeing on a purchase price and handing over assets. The buyer expects to acquire an operating business with a clearly defined scope, while the seller needs certainty about which rights, obligations and risks remain after completion.
Problems may arise when the transferred assets differ from what was presented, unexpected liabilities emerge or the parties disagree about what was actually included in the transaction. Disputes can concern receivables, contracts, equipment, inventory, employees, outstanding obligations or rights necessary for the continued operation of the business.
The position becomes even more complicated when the transaction has already been partly completed but one party fails to perform its remaining obligations or disputes the agreed purchase price.
Clear transaction documents should define the transferred business and allocate the relevant risks before completion. Once a dispute arises, those terms can determine what the parties are actually entitled to enforce.
A contract should reflect the specific project, the relationship between the parties and the real risks involved. In practice, disputes often arise because the agreement does not clearly define the subject matter of the contract, deadlines, defects, liability or termination rights. Generic internet templates frequently fail when one party stops cooperating or refuses to fulfil their obligations.
Business transfer agreement tailored for real-life situations. Not a generic free template.
I can draft, review or help resolve issues related to a business transfer agreement:
✔ contract tailored to your specific situation
✔ protection against non-payment, defects and disputes
✔ fixed fee agreed in advance
✔ online legal services across the Czech Republic
👉 Describe your situation without obligation
In what cases do you need a lawyer?
Legal assistance with a contract is particularly useful if:
✔ larger amounts of money are involved
✔ the cooperation is long-term
✔ you are dealing with an unknown contracting party
✔ you want to prevent future disputes
✔ the agreement involves defects or delays
✔ you need legal certainty in case of conflict
For small one-time projects between people who trust each other, extensive legal documentation may not always be necessary.
👉 In practice, however, “simple agreements” are often the most problematic.
Where the real problem is hidden?
Common problems I see in contracts include:
- using a generic free template without adjustments
- unclear definition of the work
- missing defect and complaint provisions
- no proper handover mechanism
- no penalties for delays
- no rules for termination
- agreements that do not anticipate disputes
👉 The result is often the same:
The contract exists, but it is difficult to enforce effectively.

Do you want to draft your own contract using AI?
You might be thinking about preparing your own contract – perhaps even with the help of artificial intelligence.
In some cases, that’s possible. But it’s essential to understand what to watch out for, how to structure your prompts correctly, and how to identify mistakes that AI commonly makes.
That’s why I’m preparing practical eBooks to guide you through the process step by step.
(The eBook page is currently in preparation – coming soon.)
Common client situations
- Is this business transfer agreement safe for me to sign?
- Can I sell or acquire only a defined part of a business?
- How should the transferred assets, contracts and liabilities be identified?
- What can I do if previously undisclosed liabilities emerge after completion?
- What can I do if the buyer fails to pay the agreed purchase price?
- Can I terminate the agreement if the other party seriously breaches its obligations?
- Can I claim damages if incorrect information about the business caused me a financial loss?
- How can I resolve a dispute over what was included in the business transfer?
Each situation requires an individual assessment. The terms of the existing agreement will often determine the available options.
Why disputes happen?
Disputes usually do not arise because the law itself is unclear.
They arise because the contract:
- did not anticipate problems,
- failed to regulate defects,
- failed to address additional work,
- failed to define deadlines,
- or was simply too generic.
👉 In practice, I regularly see situations where parties relied on a “safe free template”, only to discover later that the agreement did not cover the most important risk areas.

Most free online templates do not address the specific risks of the cooperation, including defects, liability or termination rights. These are often the most important issues in practice.
