This Week's BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Contra Costa County Business:
Get The Business You Are Selling Pre-Qualified For Financing
You are probably saying "that is the buyers responsibility to do this!" You couldn't be more wrong. This is a critical step in insuring that possible buyers can get financing in the first place to buy the business. This is highly important, since if a buyer can't get financing from a lending institution that means the owner will have to take back a note, or sell the note after it sells for a discount etc. By doing this step early you will know what some very important options will be for potential business buyers without a lot of time being wasted - and TIME KILLS DEALS! Get this step done before you go to market - go to www.BizBuyFinancing.com and get pre-qualified on the sell side before listing your business for sale.


This Week's BizBen.com Tip For Successfully BUYING A Contra Costa County Business:
Get The Signed Purchase Agreement Into Escrow
Get the signed purchase agreement into escrow immediately (there is a list of excellent Escrow Companies throughout California at www.bizben.com/resources) and sign off any contingencies as they are removed- remember TIME KILLS DEALS. Make sure you go through the Allocation of Purchase Price in the beginning of the escrow process not at the end which happens most of the time. By getting into the escrow process usually takes the deal out of play and out of reach for other potential buyers.
