What is a Bulk Sale Escrow?


A Bulk Sale Escrow may be used when a business sells inventory, equipment, fixtures, or other business assets outside the ordinary course of business.

The bulk sale process is designed to protect buyers, sellers, and creditors by providing notice of the sale, addressing qualifying creditor claims and tax obligations, and facilitating the orderly transfer and disbursement of funds.

Bulk Sale Escrow Services

Our specialized escrow services may include:

  • Preparation and coordination of required Notice to Creditors of Bulk Sale
  • Publication and recording of required notices within applicable timeframes
  • Coordination of applicable tax clearances and releases for EDD, FTB and CDTFA
  • Receipt and processing of creditor claims
  • Holding and disbursement of escrow funds in accordance with escrow instructions and applicable requirements
  • Distribution of remaining proceeds to the seller upon closing

ABC License Transfers

For businesses involving alcoholic beverage sales, we can also coordinate escrow in connection with the sale and transfer of California Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) licenses, as applicable.

Experience Matters

Business and Bulk Sale Escrows involve specialized procedures that differ from traditional real estate transactions. Working with an experienced Bulk Sale Escrow Officer helps keep the transaction organized, protects the parties’ interests, and helps ensure required procedures are completed before closing.

From opening to closing, we help make complex business sale transactions easier to navigate.
