The entity that signs the contract might not be the one that takes title—and that’s OK, if your contract allows for assignment.
In commercial deals, buyers often use a holding entity to get the property under contract, then assign it to a new or affiliated entity before closing. This protects their more established assets and can streamline financing or ownership strategy.

In this video, Josh breaks down:
🔁 What an assignment clause is and why it matters in commercial transactions
🏢 Common reasons buyers assign the contract to another entity
🛡️ How assignment can protect a parent company or investor group
📝 What to watch for: seller consent, automatic assignments, and liability language
⚖️ Why both parties need clarity to avoid confusion at closing

Assignment is about flexibility and risk management—don’t assume it’s allowed unless your contract says so.
