The Restaurant Sale Agreement is a vital legal instrument used in Pakistan when transferring ownership of a restaurant business. This document is essential for transactions involving the sale of restaurants, cafes, or similar food service establishments, ensuring a proper legal framework for the transfer of both tangible and intangible assets. It must comply with various Pakistani regulations, including the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, food safety laws, and local municipal requirements. The agreement typically covers the sale of physical assets, equipment, inventory, assignments of leases, transfer of licenses and permits, employee matters, and ongoing business contracts. It may also address intellectual property rights, non-compete provisions, and transition support. The document protects both buyer and seller by clearly defining the terms of sale, responsibilities, and liabilities, while ensuring compliance with Pakistani tax laws and business regulations.
