This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Contra Costa 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.


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