Use a Business Bill of Sale to set out the terms for the sale of a business and transfer the ownership and all assets to the buyer.Form 8594 is a tax document required in certain business sales where the buyer acquires assets rather than stock or equity. Line 1: Enter the name, address, and Tax Identification Number (TIN) of the other party (either the purchaser or seller). Prepare a list of furniture and equipment included in the sale. If any are under lease, identify those. In an asset sale, the new owner purchases the business's physical assets. The seller retains all rights to the legal entity.
