The Confidentiality Agreement For Sale Of Business is a crucial document used in the initial stages of business sale transactions in Pakistan. It is typically executed before detailed discussions or due diligence commence, when a potential buyer expresses serious interest in purchasing a business. The agreement ensures that sensitive information shared during the evaluation process remains confidential and is used solely for assessing the potential transaction. This document is essential in Pakistan's business environment where protection of proprietary information is vital but specific trade secret legislation is limited. It helps protect the seller's business interests while allowing meaningful evaluation by serious potential buyers. The agreement must comply with Pakistani contract law principles and corporate regulations, particularly the Contract Act 1872 and Companies Act 2017.
