Selling Business Assets

Selling your business assets means you sell tangible items such as merchandise or property. More often, a sale of assets involves the sale of non-physical goods, such as copyrights, patents, licenses, and stock holdings. Any type of asset held by a business can be sold as long as it is legal. The following are usually the subject of a sale of assets:

• Real property, such as the building where the business is located
• Other kinds of physical property, such as equipment, fixtures, furniture, and machinery
• Non-physical items, including business names, patents, copyrights, trademarks, permits, insurance policies, contracts, and future interests
• Stocks, trust funds, and other types of securities
