This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Santa Cruz 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 Santa Cruz 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.
