What is a Bill Of Sale?

A document that confirms an asset was sold and ownership transferred.

For example, when a construction company sells a used excavator to another contractor for $85,000, both parties sign a bill of sale that documents the purchase price, serial number, and transfer of ownership — which the buyer's lender may require before releasing financing.

Why it matters: It proves legal transfer of ownership, protecting both the buyer and seller in asset transactions.
