Confidentiality Agreement (Share/Asset Sale)

What is a confidentiality agreement (share/asset sale) and when should you use it?

 

A Confidentiality Agreement (Share/Asset Sale) can be used to protect a target company’s confidential information when a third party is interested in purchasing either the entire issued share capital or the assets and undertaking of the target company.

You also hear it called a non-disclosure agreement (or NDA).

You should use this agreement if you are sharing confidential information with a company who is interested in buying your business and is looking for you to share information with them to enable them to decide on the purchase.

In such a case you want to ensure that your confidential information is protected

This agreement should be printed on the potential Buyer’s headed paper.

The agreement should be signed by a Director of the Buyer who is authorised to do so and countersigned by a Director of the target company.
