Selling a business involves a variety of complicated agreements. As with any agreement, you can demand almost any terms that you two agree on. So you are free to require that this debt is part of the sale. You, of course, does not mean that you may not be still liable for that debt as that is dependent on the terms with your creditor and those agreements should be closely reviewed.
