Supporting the creation of promissory notes, avalizing can come in handy with a range of purchase agreements, including commodity, products and also  bond purchase agreement, cross purchase agreement, and matched sale-purchase agreement.

Avalising agreement is a legally binding document between an issuer and an underwriter, which outlines the terms of a sale, including but not limited sale price, interest rate, maturity, redemption provisions, sinking fund provisions, and reasons why the agreement may be canceled.

A cross-purchase agreement allows a company’s major shareholders to purchase the interest or shares of a partner who has deceased, has become incapacitated, or retiring.
