This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Los Angeles 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!


This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully BUYING A Los Angeles 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.
