Free LLC Capital Contribution of Assets Bill of Sale

How do I fund an LLC with assets?

When you start an LLC, the company needs to be funded by its members. Each member contributes to the initial capital of the LLC in exchange for membership interest. Members can also make additional contributions later on. While cash contributions are common, some members choose to contribute assets, such as property or equipment.

To function as capital, these assets first need to be assigned a value. Note that assets must receive a fair market value, and members must agree on the value—so, no claiming that your old desktop computer is worth $10K. Once members agree on the value of the assets, that value can be exchanged for membership interest in the LLC.

So how do you actually document asset value and make the transfer? With a bill of sale.
