Note:
- not suitable for sale of shares in a company. For a company sale, See our Company sale agreements section.

- The purchase price may be apportioned among the assets to assist in tax planning.

"I used Netlawman to pre-work some contracts for my lawyer. He came back stating that the forms were 'excellent' and saved me several billable hours."

"I needed an Agreement and Google, as always, was where I headed. I found the Net Lawman site and initially I thought I needed a relationship type Agreement but the Lodger one was absolutely perfect.
I didn't think it would be so easy so would recommend your website to anybody who was looking for an Agreement to suit their needs."Wendy Auger -
"Compared to the costs quoted by our lawyers your service is an absolute bargain. We can now invest our money where it really matters!"
