This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Santa Cruz 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 Santa Cruz County Business:
Keep The Escrow Moving Forward At All Times!
On good businesses for sale there will probably be multiple offers to buy the
business - even when it goes into escrow there will be potential buyers who will
want to \"get in line in case things bog down\". You want to make sure you move the
process along so that you aren\'t perceived as getting second thoughts about buying
the business! Open communications, setting expectations and keeping things on
schedule gets deals to close smoothly.
