A Bulk Sales Agreement is an agreement that allows a person or entity to keep records
of the sale of goods by a business of its inventory. A Bulk Sales Agreement also
protects the purchaser from any potential claims made by creditors of the seller. The
agreement sets forth the date of delivery of the goods, the price, and the terms and
conditions. The agreement leaves a lot of the terms to UCC Section 6, the law
governing bulk sales. This agreement is useful for individuals or small businesses
wishing to enter into a Bulk Sales Agreement.
