Bulk Sales Agreement
What is this form?
A bulk sales agreement is a legal document used when a business sells its goods in bulk, often during liquidation or when selling the business. This agreement is governed by Article 6 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), which specifically addresses bulk sales. Unlike standard sales agreements, this form ensures that sellers notify creditors, thereby protecting both parties involved in the transaction.
