This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Fresno County Business:
Keep A Folder Of All Info/Contacts
Keep a folder of all contacts, notes, and paperwork for your business for sale
transaction. Keep a log of all buyers who contact you - get their phone numbers,
email address and keep notes about them (this will come in handy down the line,
trust me). You want to make sure you have backup buyers in case your first choice
drops out during the selling process. Keep all escrow info, purchase agreements,
signed non-disclosure/confidentiality forms, contact phones of CPA\'s, Attorneys,
etc. and other pertinent data/info in this folder!


This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully BUYING A Fresno 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!
