FAQ
What is the main difference between a Warranty and an Indemnity in an SPA?
A warranty gives rise to a claim for breach of contract (requiring proof of loss), whereas an indemnity creates a direct obligation to reimburse the buyer £1-for-£1 on specific liabilities.
Does the Premium Package include statutory transfer documents?
Yes. The Premium package includes ancillary execution documents, including Board Resolutions and stock transfer forms (J30 forms).
Is this suitable for buying 100% of a UK Limited Company?
Yes. This agreement is designed for both partial equity acquisitions and 100% full company buyouts under UK jurisdiction.
Can you draft from either the Buyer or Seller perspective?
Yes. Specify your role during onboarding so I can tailor warranties and liability caps to favor your side of the deal.
How are deferred payments or earn-outs handled?
Standard and Premium packages support structured consideration, including upfront cash, deferred consideration, or performance-based earn-outs.
Will this document comply with HMRC rules regarding share transfers?
Yes, the agreement aligns with UK legal and statutory corporate frameworks under the Companies Act 2006.
