### Alabama Transaction Considerations

- Alabama's Business Privilege Tax is based on net worth, which can affect acquisition structure for entities with significant Alabama assets
- Alabama is one of few states requiring recording of security interests in certain personal property at the county level (probate court)
- The state has separate licensing requirements for acquisitions involving ABC-licensed businesses (alcoholic beverage control)

## Alabama Legal Framework for SBA Business Acquisition Law

### Non-Compete Agreements

Enforceable under statutory framework with 2-year maximum

Enforceable under Alabama Code Section 8-1-190 et seq., enacted in 2016. Requires protectable interests such as trade secrets, customer relationships, or goodwill. Maximum duration of two years. Courts may blue-pencil overbroad restrictions.

### Tax Considerations

Alabama imposes a Business Privilege Tax (BPT) on net worth apportioned to the state. Asset purchases allow stepped-up basis for Alabama income tax purposes. The state does not impose a separate capital gains tax, using federal taxable income as its starting point.

### Filing Requirements

Business entity transactions require filings with the Alabama Secretary of State. Certain industries (banking, insurance, utilities) require prior approval from the relevant Alabama regulatory authority.

### Bulk Sales / Asset Purchases

Alabama has repealed its Bulk Sales Act (UCC Article 6). However, buyers should still conduct due diligence on the seller's creditors, as fraudulent transfer claims under the Alabama Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (AUFTA) remain a risk in asset acquisitions.
