This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Sonoma County Business:
Have A Professional Business Valuation Performed
Getting a 3rd party professional business appraisal/valuation is important and
critical for the process. 90% of all businesses NEVER SELL due to too high of value
placed on the business being sold. Getting a professional 3rd party valuation is
well worth the expense and will be utilized by many parties during the selling
process: possible business buyers, lender/financing companies for the buyer, and
others.


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