In the high-stakes Massachusetts catering industry, transferring assets like industrial ovens, cooling units, or a client book requires more than a handshake. Under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 106, § 2-201, sales of goods exceeding $500 must be in writing. This Bill of Sale protects your business from food safety liability (FSMA) and ensures compliance with the MA Consumer Protection Act (Chapter 93A). Whether you are upgrading your kitchen or selling a portion of your catering fleet, our document ensures clear transfer of title, addresses potential wage theft liabilities under M.G.L. ch. 149, § 148, and provides the 'as-is' disclaimers necessary to mitigate future disputes over equipment performance.

Under Mass. Gen. Laws ch. 106, § 2-201, any sale of catering goods valued at $500 or more must be documented in writing to be legally enforceable. Our Bill of Sale fulfills this requirement by detailing the purchase price, parties, and specific asset descriptions.
