A bulk sale is a sale of goods by a business which engages in selling items out of inventory, often in liquidating or selling a business, and is governed by Article 6 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) which deals with bulk sales. Article 6 has been adopted at least in part in all states. If the parties do not comply with the notification process for a bulk sale, creditors of the seller may obtain a declaration that the sale was invalid against the creditors and the creditors may take possession of the goods or obtain judgment for any proceeds the buyer received from a subsequent sale.
Section 6-103(5) provides in part that the buyer must give notice that he has assumed or will assume the debts that were incurred in the seller's business before the date of the bulk sale. Notice of the assumption must be given not later than 30 days after the date of the bulk sale by either: (a) sending or delivering a notice to each creditor whose debt is assumed; or (b) filing a notice in a central state office designated by the local variation of the Code.
