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