Mass transfer involves the orderly transfer of a company’s assets from one owner to another, starting with physical assets and continuing through financial holdings. It is typically managed in phases with contracts to verify the value and composition of each asset. Legal advice is necessary for both parties involved.
A block transfer usually has to do with an agreement or series of agreements that provide for the orderly transfer of a company’s various assets from one owner to another. Mass transfer is usually addressed in a series of steps or procedures addressing the transfer of every asset of the business, continuing until all assets are successfully transferred.
Mass transfers usually start with physical assets, such as buildings, land, and any inventory that is under the company’s control. Moving buildings and land is often a straightforward process, while selling inventory often includes running a count of all items listed whether in supply inventory, work in progress, raw materials, or finished goods. Inventories often also include lists of furnishings and equipment which are included in the general conditions of sale.
The sale of assets continues through other assets held by the company. This would include the transfer of any bank accounts and other financial holdings considered as part of the mass transfer. In general, both incumbent owners and new owners are able to perform this part of the bulk transfer with a simple visit to the bank where the accounts reside.
Managing mass transfer in a series of phases ensures that the transfer of assets occurs in an orderly manner and that each subset of the total assets is accounted for and properly channeled in a way that is easy to track and audit. Using a set of contracts as part of the overall mass transfer forms the basis for verifying both the value and composition of each transferable asset, and also gives the new owner a fully up-to-date asset inventory to usher in the new era for agency.
Structuring a mass transfer normally requires input from current corporate officers, as well as legal advice for both the current owners and the entity acquiring the assets. A mass transfer is common practice in the event of a takeover, whether the takeover is part of a hostile takeover strategy or a voluntary sale of the company and its assets.
