This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Kern County Business:
Write Up A Comprehensive Summary Of The Business
Buyers are going to need to know many details about the business being sold. Instead
of having to re-explain to many buyers about the business (and probably forgetting
many important facts) make a one page summary of the business being sold. Include:
History of the business, date established, number of employees, important attributes
about the business and surrounding area, what you would recommend to a new buyer to
increase business once they take over, what geographic area the business covers, the
competition, the reason for selling, how much training will be provided after the
sale, etc.


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