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.


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