Sales & Transfer Law in Michigan

Frequently Asked Questions

01

How does Michigan's Statute of Frauds affect my cleaning equipment sale?

Under MCL 566.132, certain contracts in Michigan must be in writing to be enforceable. If your Bill of Sale for cleaning equipment or a recurring service book exceeds specific value thresholds or cannot be performed within one year, a written document is legally required to prevent future ownership or payment disputes.

02

Does this Bill of Sale cover chemical safety disclosures and OSHA HCS?

While the Bill of Sale transfers ownership of physical assets, it is best practice in Michigan to include disclaimers regarding the storage of cleaning chemicals. This document allows for 'As-ls' clauses to mitigate liability for chemical exposure or property damage that may occur after the buyer takes possession of used supplies.

03

Can I include a non-compete clause in my Michigan Bill of Sale?

Yes, if you are selling a cleaning service route, Michigan law (MCL 445.774a) allows for non-compete agreements provided they are reasonable in duration and geographic scope. This helps protect the intellectual property and client lists included in your asset transfer.
