This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Sonoma County Business:
Get The Business You Are Selling Pre-Qualified For Financing
You are probably saying \"that is the buyers responsibility to do this!\" You couldn\'t
be more wrong. This is a critical step in insuring that possible buyers can get
financing in the first place to buy the business. This is highly important, since if
a buyer can\'t get financing from a lending institution that means the owner will
have to take back a note, or sell the note after it sells for a discount etc. By
doing this step early you will know what some very important options will be for
potential business buyers without a lot of time being wasted - and TIME KILLS DEALS!
Get this step done before you go to market - go to www.BizBuyFinancing.com and get
pre-qualified on the sell side before listing your business for sale.
