Explanation of this document

Drafting an agreement for the takeover of a sole proprietorship, why?

Not every entrepreneur knows exactly what a sole proprietorship takeover agreement entails, when you need one, and which risks it must cover. Therefore, we explain below what this document involves, what you should look out for, and why customized legal solutions are important.

What is an agreement for the acquisition of a sole proprietorship?
A sole proprietorship acquisition agreement is the agreement by which the owner of a sole proprietorship transfers their business—the assets, goodwill, trade name, customer base, and contracts—to a buyer. A sole proprietorship is not a legal entity and has no share capital; the transfer always takes place via an asset transaction. The buyer acquires the business assets, not the legal entity itself. In principle, debts of the sole proprietorship do not transfer, unless the buyer explicitly assumes them through debt assumption. The transferor—the owner of the sole proprietorship—remains personally liable in principle for debts incurred prior to the transfer date. Our lawyers will draft a sole proprietorship acquisition agreement for you that exhaustively describes the assets, correctly anchors the goodwill valuation, addresses the tax implications, and formulates the seller's non-compete clause.
How do you value goodwill when acquiring a sole proprietorship?
Goodwill is the difference between the purchase price of the business as a whole and the value of the individual tangible assets. In the case of sole proprietorships—particularly in the service sector, retail, and hospitality—goodwill can represent the largest part of the purchase price. Goodwill reflects the customer relationships, reputation, location value, and know-how built up within the business. Your acquisition agreement must specify the goodwill valuation and describe the parameters on which the value is based. A particular point of attention: goodwill is taxable as capital gains for the seller. Your agreement must structure the goodwill allocation correctly for tax purposes. Our lawyers advise you on goodwill valuation and tax treatment.
How do you arrange the non-compete clause for the selling entrepreneur?
A buyer of a sole proprietorship has a strong interest in a non-compete clause from the seller: the seller knows all the company's customers, suppliers, and know-how and, in the event of free competition, can quickly erode the goodwill the buyer has paid for. In business acquisitions, a broader non-compete clause applies than in employment law: terms of two to five years and geographical restrictions to the operating area of ​​the acquired company are, in principle, acceptable in case law. Your acquisition agreement must concretely define the non-compete clause: which activities are prohibited, in which geographical area, and for what period? Our lawyers draft a non-compete clause that protects your investment in goodwill.
How does it work at MKBjuristen?
After a brief intake, our lawyers draft an agreement for the acquisition of a sole proprietorship that exhaustively describes the assets, correctly incorporates the goodwill valuation, addresses the tax implications, and formulates the seller's non-compete clause.

Why not use a standard document?

A standard document often seems like a quick solution, but usually does not fully align with your company, agreements, risks, and way of working. Our legal experts draft documents that fit your situation.

Standard document
SME Lawyers
Not tailored to your business
Tailored to your company, industry, and working methods
No control over your specific situation
Consultation with a lawyer and assessment of your risks
Possibly outdated or incomplete
Verification of current and practical provisions
No personal explanation
Explanation regarding the use of the document

A standard document seems cheap, until it doesn't fit your situation properly. That is why we provide custom legal solutions tailored to your business.

Custom solutions per industry and company

Every business operates differently and faces different legal risks. Therefore, we tailor the document to your industry, customers, agreements, and way of working.

Webshops & e-commerce

Focus on online sales, delivery, returns, complaints, payment, digital products, and consumer regulations.

Business services

Attention to the assignment, additional work, liability, payment, termination, and reliance on client information.

Construction, installation & execution

Attention to planning, delivery, warranties, additional work, materials, delays, and liability risks.

Software, SaaS & digital services

Attention to licenses, availability, support, updates, data, intellectual property, and limitation of liability.

Trade, supply & wholesale

Attention to delivery, transport, payment, retention of title, warranties, delivery times, and international agreements.

Consultants, freelancers & advisors

Attention to scope, best efforts obligations, cancellation, payment, liability, and confidential information.


A legal document only has value if it suits your practice. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at how you use the document in your business.

Common mistakes with legal documents

A legal document often seems simple, but small errors can have major consequences later on. In practice, we see that entrepreneurs run the greatest risk when a document does not align well with their business, agreements, or way of working.

  • Using a standard document that does not suit the company
  • Forgot important agreements regarding payment, delivery, liability, or termination
  • Have a document generated without legal review
  • Continuing to use old documents while the company has changed
  • Not knowing how the document should be used correctly in practice

A legal document only prevents problems if it suits your situation. That is why we look not only at the text, but also at your company, agreements, and risks.

Why is a standard document often not enough?

Because a standard document does not take into account your industry, customers, risks, and specific agreements, important provisions may be missing or not align well with your practice.

Can I create a legal document myself using AI?

AI can assist in creating text, but does not independently assess whether the document is legally appropriate, complete, and usable for your business. Legal review therefore remains important.

When do I need to have my document checked?

Have your document checked if your business has changed, you have new customers or services, you have doubts about existing agreements, or the document has not been updated for a long time.

Will I also receive an explanation about the use of the document?

Yes. We explain how to use the document in practice, what to look out for, and which steps are important to prevent disputes afterwards.
