What Is a Buy and Sell Agreement?

A buy and sell agreement is a legally binding contract that stipulates how a partner’s share of a business may be reassigned if that partner dies or otherwise leaves the business. Most often, the buy and sell agreement stipulates that the available share be sold to the remaining partners or to the partnership. The buy and sell agreement is also known as a buy-sell agreement, a buyout agreement, a business will, or a business prenup.

How a Buy and Sell Agreement Works

Buy and sell agreements are commonly used by sole proprietorships, partnerships, and closed corporations as a way to smooth the transition in ownership when each partner dies, retires, or decides to exit the business.A buy and sell agreement provides the legal detail on how the business will be sold to the company or the remaining members of the business according to a predetermined formula.
