A Business Broker's Diary

2004-05-03T08:34:00.000-07:00

Most owners when they go to sell a business they either do it themselves or hire a broker like myself most of the time my clients (sellers) find me when they look for business brokers in California the internet site I advertise almost exclusively on. Other ways are in the yellow pages or through friends and contacts in my small business world. Owners need to know the pros and cons of selling it themselves or through a broker - I will cover this next time.

Having sold businesses for over 17 years in California I know how to get things done when selling a business. I have many business owners of small businesses approach me about selling their business - they really need the help since most of them don't have a clue about what their business is worth etc. Buyers of businesses are also many times pretty clueless when they search to buy a business - you think they would be better prepared when they are probably making one of the bigger investment decisions (in both time, emotions, money). Hope fully my diary will tell all on the best way to buy and sell a California business - I will hold nothing back!

If you have ever bought or sold a business you know what an incredible - good or bad experience it can be. I'am starting this blog to help both buyers and business owners know what it really takes to sell or buy a business. I'am going to be very honest and frank in my postings and "really let my hair down" so you can see the real side of selling and buying businesses. I have also challenged a business owner and business buyer to post their experiences also which they should here sometime this week. If you are in the process of selling, thinking of selling your business, or looking at buying a business you should read these postings -you'll learn alot!
