Procedures for project acquisition in the form of business acquisition

Through transfer

The project acquisition in the form of business acquisition officially starts when the seller becomes the project owner through the transfer.

The investor (the buyer) will become the new owner of the business and indirectly take control of the project.

At this stage, the seller proceeds through the transfer of all capital contributions or shares of the enterprise that is the project owner. Content is expressed in the form of meeting minutes, resolutions, and decisions of competent persons in each type of enterprise.

Check and evaluate project status

For the buyer, checking and evaluating the project status is an important step in the business acquisition process. Investors need to perform comprehensive appraisal to clearly understand the true value and potential of the project. Issues related to legal status, finance, implementation progress and conditions for ownership of capital contributions and shares… need to be closely reviewed. This process also helps investors detect potential risks and make accurate investment decisions.

Sign transfer and payment contract

The process of signing a transfer contract requires close cooperation between relevant parties. The transfer contract needs to be drafted carefully, ensuring clear and transparent terms and protecting the interests of both parties. Note that the number of capital contributing members and shareholders of the enterprise will correspond to the number of transfer contracts.

The contract needs to clearly stipulate the terms of transfer of ownership, transaction value and payment method. The total payment value for this transfer transaction is also equivalent to the total value of the project. Normally, payment should be made in several installments to ensure the interests of both the buyer and the seller.

Evaluate the legal status of the target business
