An asset deal is a transaction in which the buyer acquires specific assets of a company (e.g., real estate, equipment) instead of its shares. This approach allows the buyer to avoid taking on the company's liabilities and to acquire only the assets that are important to them. This type of transaction provides greater control over the acquired assets but may be less tax-advantageous for the seller.
