Business Bill of Sale example — FAQ

What is a business bill of sale?

It is a document that records the sale of a business or its assets — equipment, inventory, fixtures, goodwill, and trade name — from one owner to another, with the price and terms, signed by both parties.

Is a bill of sale enough to sell a business?

For a small asset sale, often yes. Larger or more complex sales usually use a fuller asset purchase agreement plus a bill of sale, and may transfer licenses, leases, and liabilities separately.

What should a business bill of sale list?

The business name and entity type, exactly which assets are included and excluded, the inventory value, the price, the effective date, and both signatures.

Can a bill of sale be handwritten?

Yes. A handwritten bill of sale is legal as long as it includes the required details — the parties, a description of the item, the price, the date, and both signatures. Using a structured template simply makes sure nothing important is left out.
