This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Alameda 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 Alameda County Business:
Confidentiality Agreements Are Important
To view or get any detailed information on any businesses for sale you will probably
need to sign a confidentiality agreement. Respect this part of the process and keep
the sale of all businesses confidential. There are also legal ramifications if it is
traced back to you that you were the one who leaked the word that the business was
for sale!
