This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Santa Clara County Business:
Due Diligence By The Buyer Should Not Last Forever!
Due diligence by the buyer should only last 4-14 days. Since you are going to be
organized and ready with all important info and documents, this is all the time any
competent business buyer (and CPA for the buyer) should need to investigate the
business for sale. You do not want the business off the market for a prolonged
period so be firm about the length of time for Due Diligence - get it in writing
(purchase agreement) and make sure all parties to the transaction stay with the
schedule!
