This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Butte County Business:
The Business Is Not Sold Until You Have Check In Hand!
Always continue to collect names of business buyers and their phone numbers etc.
even if you are in escrow (40% of all escrows fall out for one reason or another!)
You want to make sure you have a successful deal and a business buyer that is going
to complete the deal. Try to have 2-3 potential business buyer back-ups who are
willing to take the buyers place within the escrow should the current business buyer
drop out.


This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully BUYING A Butte County Business:
Confidentiality Agreements Are Important
To view or get any detailed information on any businesses for sale you will probably
need to sign a confidentiality agreement. Respect this part of the process and keep
the sale of all businesses confidential. There are also legal ramifications if it is
traced back to you that you were the one who leaked the word that the business was
for sale!
