The Contract For Sale Of Business is a crucial document used when transferring ownership of a business in Denmark, whether through an asset or share sale. It is essential for transactions ranging from small business transfers to large corporate acquisitions, providing a legally binding framework that ensures compliance with Danish corporate law, EU regulations, and relevant industry-specific requirements. The document comprehensively addresses all aspects of the business transfer, including purchase price, assets and liabilities, employee transfers, warranties and indemnities, and post-completion obligations.
