Business Bill of Sale
When a business changes owners, this is the receipt for everything that conveys: name, equipment, inventory, goodwill. Record it all, attach photos, and sign at closing.

Selling a business
The bill of sale is the closing receipt — not the whole deal.
In a business sale, the bill of sale is the document that actually conveys the assets at closing: the equipment (list serial numbers), the inventory, the trade name, and intangibles like goodwill, customer lists, or a phone number. Itemize everything included — and just as importantly, anything excluded — in the additional-terms box, or attach an asset schedule and reference it there.
Two honest caveats: licenses and permits usually do nottransfer with the assets (the buyer re-applies), and for anything beyond a simple asset handoff — seller financing, non-compete terms, liabilities — this form accompanies a fuller business purchase agreement rather than replacing one.

Closing-day checklist
The last hour before the keys change hands.
- Attach the asset schedule — equipment with serials, inventory counts, intangibles — and reference it in the additional terms.
- Do the final inventory count together, that morning, not from last week’s spreadsheet.
- Remember licenses and permits rarely transfer; the buyer reapplies in their own name.
- Leases, utilities, phone numbers, and domain names each transfer through their own provider — list who handles which.
- Sign at closing and send copies where they are expected: the bank, the landlord, the licensing office.
