This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Tehama County Business:
Have All Records Ready Before You Go To Market!
Have these items ready before the business goes on the market to be sold: The last 3
years of federal tax returns for the business being sold, the last 3 years of
financials (profit & loss statement, balance sheet), the last 3 years of monthly
bank statements, copy of current lease, list of all equipment being sold with the
business, etc - many parties during the selling process will need this info -
serious business buyers, your landlord for a new lease for the new buyer, lenders
(for a possible loan/financing for the buyer, note buyback firm (in case you want to
sell the note for cash after the business sells). Also make sure you know what the
correct Adjusted Net income has been for the last 3 years. Serious business buyers
will want to know this. Adjusted Net income is: Net Income + Owners Salary +
Depreciation + Interest Expenses + Other Business Expenses Written Off (Deducted)
That May Not Necessarily Be Business Expenses To The New Owner Of The Business.


This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully BUYING A Tehama County Business:
Know The Types/Sizes/Locations Of Businesses You Want To Buy
Before you start calling/contacting business brokers and agents make sure you know
what types, sizes, and locations of businesses you are looking to buy. If you seem
uncertain about this to brokers and agents they will not spend a lot of time with
you. There are many more buyers than sellers on the market and brokers/agents like
to work with buyers, who are serious, motivated, and know what they are looking for.
