This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Contra Costa County Business:
Keep The Negotiating & Communications Moving Forward!
Remember - TIME KILLS DEALS. Make sure when you are negotiating the contract,
allocation of purchase price, new or restructured lease, etc. always be moving
forward. Don\'t let any situation sit too long - it will most likely kill the deal!


This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully BUYING A Contra Costa 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.
