This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Los Angeles County Business:
Get The Signed Purchase Agreement Into Escrow
Get the signed purchase agreement into escrow immediately (there is a list of
excellent Escrow Companies throughout California at www.bizben.com/resources) and
sign off any contingencies quickly - remember TIME KILLS DEALS. Make sure you go
through the Allocation of Purchase Price in the beginning of the escrow process not
at the end which happens most of the time. Make sure you have all items from #1 in
this brochure ready to go - you\'ll need them for the escrow process to proceed
smoothly & quickly.


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.
