This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Sacramento County Business:
Have All Records Ready Before You Go To Market!
Have these items ready before the business goes on the market to be sold: The last 3
years of federal tax returns for the business being sold, the last 3 years of
financials (profit & loss statement, balance sheet), the last 3 years of monthly
bank statements, copy of current lease, list of all equipment being sold with the
business, etc - many parties during the selling process will need this info -
serious business buyers, your landlord for a new lease for the new buyer, lenders
(for a possible loan/financing for the buyer, note buyback firm (in case you want to
sell the note for cash after the business sells). Also make sure you know what the
correct Adjusted Net income has been for the last 3 years. Serious business buyers
will want to know this. Adjusted Net income is: Net Income + Owners Salary +
Depreciation + Interest Expenses + Other Business Expenses Written Off (Deducted)
That May Not Necessarily Be Business Expenses To The New Owner Of The Business.


This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully BUYING A Sacramento County Business:

allocation of purchase price, new or restructured lease, etc. always be moving
forward. Don\'t let any situation sit too long - it will most likely kill the deal!
