This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Marin County Business:
Confidentiality Agreements Are Important
Have all potential business buyers sign and date a Non-Disclosure/Confidentiality
Agreement before giving out any info. Make sure potential buyers understand how
important it is to keep the sale of the business confidential and that there are
legal ramifications if they don\'t.


This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully BUYING A Marin 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 as they are removed- 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. By getting into the escrow
process usually takes the deal out of play and out of reach for other potential
buyers.
