This Week\'s BizBen.com Tip For Successfully SELLING A Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara County Business:
Get Pre Qualified For Financing - Leverage That Purchase
Getting Pre-Qualified for financing by lenders if very important since many
businesses want all cash for their business. With financing you only have to put
down 20%-30% and you can get financing for the rest of the purchase. You will need
to submit basic financial info to these lenders and in most cases depending on the
size and type of businesses you are looking to purchase they can tell you if you
would be able to get a loan from their company. To get pre-qualified and for more
information about SBA loan financing go to: www.BizBuyFinancing.com
