This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Santa Clara County Business:
The Business Is Not Sold Until You Have Check In Hand!
Always continue to collect names of business buyers and their phone numbers etc.
even if you are in escrow (40% of all escrows fall out for one reason or another!)
You want to make sure you have a successful deal and a business buyer that is going
to complete the deal. Try to have 2-3 potential business buyer back-ups who are
willing to take the buyers place within the escrow should the current business buyer
drop out.


This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully BUYING A Santa Clara 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!
