The Business Transfer Contract is a crucial legal document used in Malta when transferring ownership of a business from one entity to another. It is essential for transactions involving the sale of going concerns, mergers, or corporate restructuring under Maltese jurisdiction. This document encompasses all aspects of the business transfer, including detailed provisions for asset transfer, employee rights protection (in accordance with Maltese labor laws), assumption of liabilities, and ongoing obligations. The contract must comply with both Maltese commercial law and relevant EU regulations, particularly regarding employment protection and data privacy. It is typically used in situations ranging from small business acquisitions to large corporate transfers, requiring careful consideration of local tax implications, stamp duty requirements, and competition laws.
