Q: 
Are there special advertising programs for business brokers & agents?
A: 
Yes, for business brokers and agents we have our very successful Fast Track ads, and our Gold and Silver advertising and marketing programs (that incorporate our Fast Track ad programs, etc) that were specially designed for business brokers and agents who wanted a more advanced way to reach business buyers, and business owners trying to sell a business. These special advertising and marketing programs are limited to a certain number of brokers and agents per county to ensure their success in these programs. Brokers and agents utilize these programs to: place articles on BizBen, promote workshops, utilize the BizBen syndicated small business blog to write about industry topics, participate in online webinars and podcasts to promote their services.


Q: 
Can I add new ads or revise my ads at anytime with a Broker/Agent advertising account?
A: 
Yes you have full control 24/7 to log into your advertising account and add new listings/ads, revise any ads/listings, make ads inactive or delete them - bottomline you have full control over your advertising account on BizBen. Not only do you have full control to add or revise any of your listings at anytime, but you are also getting the lowest advertising rate to do so.


Q: 
How do I make sure BizBen Emails don't go into my SPAM Folder?
A: 
To make sure important emails sent to you from BizBen don't end up into your email program's spam folder make sure you put these email addresses into you address book: services@bizben.com, bizbendailyreports@bizben.com, and emailreports@bizben.com.  If you can put anything being emailed from @bizben.com also will assure you get all our important emails sent to you.


Q: 
How much does it cost to to advertise a business for sale listing?
A: 
Listing a business or opportunity on BizBen.com is very economical. You have several options for selling your business, and one is sure to fit your budget. To see the costs and programs for individual ads go to our sell a business page. For brokers and agents with mutiple listings (ads) please refer to our multiple listings ad rates page.


Q: 
How long does it take for my new business for sale listing to be posted on BizBen?
A: 
To assure quality listings, we review every new listing being posted on BizBen. Your ad will appear immediately in the New Listings section while we make sure your new ad is placed in the appropriate areas and catagories on BizBen making it easier for potential buyers to find and contact you about your business for sale. Unlike other webites your ad on BizBen usually only takes between 30 minutes to 3 hours (depending on the number of new listings being posted at the time) to get reviewed and fully distributed into our network!


Q: 
When writing an ad for BizBen what are the most important factors?
A: 
First you want to include as much possible information as possible (as much as confidentiality will allow provided that it is important) in your ad - talk about the history of the business, where its at now, and the potential in the future. Buyers also want to know about: lease factors, number of employees, geographic area, competitive factors, etc. We have found the advertisers who write a comprehensive ad are usually the ones who get the best response from the most number of motivated buyers.


Q: 
How do I modify my business for sale ad on BizBen?
A: 
You can update and modify your BizBen business for sale ad at any time - 24/7. To do so, go to the Advertising Log In page and enter your User Name & Password. You will then see your advertising account where you can revise your ad, see your advertising stats, emails received concerning your ad and other important data.


Q: 
What is the term of my business for sale ad?
A: 
You determine the time period of your ad (Standard or Fast Track) you select one, two, or a three month run. You can "turn-off" your ad at anytime by making it inactive if you want to turn off your ad if lets say you are in escrow and you want to limit or eliminate calls or emails for a period of time.


Q: 
Should I include the purchase price and other financial information in the ad?
A: 
Yes you should. Why waste anyones time and have them call you and waste your time if the price isn't close to what buyers are searching for. Also have someone assist you to realistically figure out the adjusted net income of the business (for the previous three years) - this is one of the most important numbers to potential buyers (and usually the price of the business is some multiple of this number). Some of the more successful business for sale ads on BizBen include in the long description field the last three years of these numbers: Gross Sales, Adjusted Net Income, Inventory Amounts, Accounts Receivable, Accounts Payable (if any), working capital required for a new buyer, etc. Put some effort into this information - it will make the sale of a business much faster and easier on everyone.


Q: 
How long should I expect it to take to sell a business?
A: 
Surveys have found that the national average is approximately six months from your decision to sell to the actual closing. Advertising a business for sale on BizBen usually takes between one to three months from start to finish. The amount of time it will take to sell your business may vary significantly from this average depending upon a number of factors. These factors include deal structure, the time of year, the true value of the business versus the asking price, the size of the business and the local market. The most important factors are usually price and the ability to effectively locate qualified, motivated business buyers. Also very important is the level of exposure you give your listing - make sure you review the BizBen Fast Track advertising program - designed for those looking to sell a business quicker and with usually a much higher response from buyers.


Q: 
How do I remove my business for sale listing?
A: 
You can remove your ad at anytime by logging into your advertising account and the making your ad "inactive" or deleting it.


Q: 
What type of information do I need to disclose to a buyer?
A: 
Only very basic information about your business should be disclosed to a buyer prior to their signing a non-disclosure agreement ("NDA"). An NDA can help protect the confidentiality of any information given to a buyer. Once an NDA is signed, the buyer can be given additional financial and operational information about the company in order to make an informed offer for the business. After an offer is accepted, a significant amount of detailed information will be required during the due diligence process ranging from a review of incorporation papers and other legal documents to a thorough review of accounting work papers and meetings with key employees.


Q: 
Should I utilize the escrow process to close my deal?
A: 
In our opinion if you don't utilize the services of an escrow company, you are asking for trouble later on down the road. The escrow fee should be looked at as insurance that the deal will run smoother and items that are respresented by all parties are documented. I have heard too many horror stories from buyers, sellers, and brokers/agents who wanted to save a little money or figured they didn't need to involve a escrow service to close their deal and got burned later on for not doing so.


Q: 
Are there any membership fees to join BizBen to advertise?
A: 
No there are no membership or initiation fees to join BizBen to advertise. When brokers or agents first start up or come back with us we charge three months of advertising upfront and then the plan goes on a monthly autopay thereafter. Advertisers (brokers and agents) can cancel anytime after their initial three month advertising run.


Past Testimonials From Brokers And Agents

Every business opportunity that we have sold has come through your service - thats the truth! I have spent thousands of dollars in local newspaper classified ads - we get calls but no one has ever bought a business like they have from BizBen.com. I tell all agents in our office to use your services and any agents I meet locally I tell them what great results we get.
Marcie Honkanen, Broker, Honkanen Real Estate
I guess you know by now how much I love www.BizBen.com but today I am writing to you for another reason. Recently, you mentioned some benefits and features of the fast track advertising program. I did sign up for fast track for one of my better listings and I must say that you have a very impressive thing going. I got a very high volume of calls and e-mails because of this program. I got an offer in a week of listing the business and we are working on closing the deal. Infact, the phone still rings and I still keep getting e-mails. Thank you, Peter for running this awesome website ! You are providing a huge service to the business brokerge fraternity. Do keep up the good work.
Rick Lahkar, Business Broker
You are doing a great job with my ads. I will be your customer for good!
Martin Dibbini, Agent, REMAX Commercial
Just sold the car wash to a buyer that saw our ad in your website. . . We have received over 500 calls on the 20 business for sale ads we have in with you, we get a ton of calls, I have to change my cell phone battery twice a day!
Ken Kang, Agent, CIS Realty
All the brokers here at Sunbelt Business Brokers of Los Angeles and Glendale think that we could have not survive this long in this wonderful business brokerage industry if it wasn't for the great exposure we get at California Businesses for sale, not only do we get the greatest advertising rates, but we also get great response from the internet - everyday we get at least 20 to 50 e-mails inquiries regarding the businesses we have for sale all from the California Businesses for Sale website!!! And to top it all, they have this great monthly newspaper we get where we can actually see all our ads, and we get a great idea as to how and what other brokers in the industry are listing!!!

We advertise on 11 different websites for our listings and BizBen.com is definitly the best. It brings us not only alot more buyers, but better qualified business buyers too!
Gary Bayus, Broker, Prestige Real Estate
You are one of my top lead generating sources to sell our businesses. Your site is so easy to use - to place and revise ads and you are the most proactive site around with the latest features and reports, - everything to make our life easier and more productive in selling businesses.
William Park, Business Broker, VR Business Brokers
VR Business Brokers, San Francisco office, serves small and mid-sized business owners and buyers in the San Francisco Greater Bay Area. We are part of a Network of Affiliated offices nationally and time and again, we heard from other VR franchise offices that one of the very best places to put our California business for sale listings on the world wide web was BizBen.com. Well the results have and continue to surpass our expectations with the results often being 3 to 1 compared to other Business for Sale Web sites we use. In one recent Fast Track Ad in particular, within the first week we had a Purchase offer on the table for one our largest listing. BizBen.com has now become a staple of our marketing and I highly recommend this key channel to buyers for other business brokers.
George Arabian, Business Broker, VR Business Brokers
"I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate all you and BizBen.com have done for me and my new career as a business broker. It's hard to believe I only got my license recently. As you know, the beginning was a little tough. I decided to try everything. I cold called on the phone, I must have passed out 1000 flyers in person, I talked to everyone I knew for referrals. Nothing was as effective as the BizBen Gold advertising program for brokers that I have with you. In the beginning I was hesitant because of the cost, plus it feels like a really long time before you start getting paid. So I have to say it take some guts and a lot of faith – but what you said came true from the program. As I approach my 1st anniversary I can tell you that I am so happy I took that chance on your GOLD Marketing Program because it has really paid off big time! Now I do not advertise with anyone else and I do nothing to promote myself (other than ask for referrals) except the special program I have with you. I don't need to. I'm into quality not quantity. I get between 5 to 15 calls a day from buyers on the 15 listings that I currently have, and receive numerous calls from business owners inquiring about my services. In fact I recently got a call from a business owner who saw my name in the Broker Directory on BizBen.com. He wanted to sell his nutritional supplement store. It didn't look like much when I saw it but it turned out to be the number one nutritional store in my area. To make it even better, the seller put all of his numbers on the books. I sold it in 2 weeks and made over $80K in commission because of your service! Last year in my first year as a business broker I sold 7 businesses I made approximately $155K in commission. This year I have already sold 6 businesses, made about $150K and fully expect to make between $300K & $400K all based on the advise you gave me and me being in the BizBen.com Gold Advertising Plan. Thank you again as long as I have this career you will always be the company handling my business for sale advertising!"
Chris Krikorian, Business Broker, Freedom Business Brokers - Orange County
Thanks for the results from your site.
Matt, Donnelly, Business Broker
Just closed escrow on a business for sale I advertised with you for less than 3 weeks! Sold if for full price - it was a beauty products distribution company, in the little time I had it advertised with you I received 6+ emails, 28 phone calls and over 480 buyers saw it online on your site www.bizben.com! Thanks again - this makes 2 businesses I have sold on your site this year! Will definitly recommend your services to others.
Michael Mogharabi, Agent, REMAX Commercial
Just a short note to thank you for your fabulous website - it gets better and better all the time! Have a great year - you deserve it.
Julian Solomons, VR Business Brokers / Mergers+Acquisitions
We sell mostly gas stations and I have to tell you how great your media is for selling businesses. Without your publication we would only be advertising in local newspapers which got us very few responses. You play a major role in our marketing and advertising our businesses that we have for sale. Thanks again for all your help - I will spread the word to others how great your service and response is!
Paul Ghafoori, Agent, Cosmopolitan Real Estate
I just want to take this opportunity to thank for not only providing a highly effective way of advertising our listings but also the exceptional personalized service I received. Your Fast Track Ad Program has produced more calls than I can handle. I expect to have a purchase and sale agreement executed this week, after only 10 days of using the program! Thank you again.
Kevin Westberg, Business Intermediary, Plethora Business Brokers
Have done at least 6 FAST TRACK Ads with you now over the last 5 months and that is definitly the way to go, I get a great response - much better than local newspaper advertising or MLS listing services! I plan on doing all future business for sale advertising in www.bizben.com from now on exclusively! Thanks for your wonderful FAST TRACK Advertising service.
Abe Pianalto, Business Broker, VIP Realty
I have received 16 phone calls and 3 appointments since I place my line ad with you last week on the business for sale we have listed - thats wonderful!!! Also I appreciate all your help in placing the ad for me.
Mike Cahill, Agent, Mountain Real Estate
As you know, the economy has certainly slowed down our business of late. But within a couple days after placing the last fast track ad, we sold the restaurant business at above asking price with multiple offers on the table. Thanks!
Mel Jones, Paramount Restaurant Brokers, Throughout California
I have to tell you that BizBen.com has been the best advertising website for me and I will resume my business with your company, when I return from my family trip!
Iraj Pezhman, Agent, Prime Properties
“I just wanted to drop you a quick note to express my total satisfaction with your GOLD Marketing Program for Business Brokers. As a sole practitioner (currently) my brokerage business does not get the exposure that many of the larger houses generate so it is essential that my advertising gets results and draws attention to both my listings, and my brokerage. Of all the advertising I have utilized, NO ONE even comes close to the activity generated by your GOLD Marketing & Advertising Program. As a former small business owner who believed strongly in effective advertising, I have found that the cost/benefit of your marketing program is clearly justified. While the cost is significantly higher than any other advertising I have done, the results show it is by far, the better investment. Within the first 2 weeks of starting the marketing program with you, the results are 3 offers on 2 of the 10 businesses advertised and another one going into escrow! I am now working long weeks to generate more listings as I have total confidence in my ability to sell them via the effective marketing & advertising with BizBen. You can certainly use my name as a very satisfied customer; just don’t sign up any of my local competitors! The difference to my bottom line will fantastic this year. Thanks again!”
Rick Prinz, Principal & Business Broker at Bay Shore Business Brokers
"The results of our using BizBen.Com has been better then great! At this writing, we have sold all but one listing. The last listing is presently in negotiations and should be sold within the next 10 days. During the time we had the listings posted, which was about 4 months, we recieved numerous inquiries and requests for details on the business's listed. The buyers were outstanding with almost all being well qualified and well funded. The result is that we sold 7 MILLION dollars in business sales and I made a CONSIDERABLE amount in commissions! The results using BizBen far exceeded our advertising in any other form .. Newspapers, direct mail etc. do not hold a candle to the results we had with Bizben... we are in the process of getting new listings , which of course, will be put on Bizben.com immediately!"
Jim Kavanaugh, Business Broker, Chase Business Brokers - San Francisco East Bay Area
Having sold businesses for 22 years, I have found BizBen to be the best value in responses. With a few minor exceptions I have not had to use other advertising media in the last year. It appears that many seasoned buyers use BizBen.
Bill Bruno, Business Broker, San Diego
We just opened escrow on the last company I had listed. The source of the buyers for every business we have sold in the last 3 years, has been from our business for sale ads listed on BizBen.com! Thank you.
Phil Sabol, Business Broker, Los Angeles County
We were three for three last year! The featured advertisements/Fast Tracks I ran in California Businesses for Sale - bizben.com gave my clients’ businesses excellent exposure and resulted in three closings, all within a very short period of time. Keep up the good work!
Mark Richardson, Business Broker, JM Richardson Business Transfers
You can take out the video rental store and beauty supply shop since I have sold them thanks to your website. I have more ads that I'am going to be putting onto your sites. Thanks for the help of your advertising.
June Mo Pae, Agent, ERA Newstar Reatly
Your site is a favorite with us over 2 to 1 from the other business for sale website bizbuysell. We have sold 6 listings recently from your site vs. only 2 lisings on theirs. Your site is easier to use for business buyers and we like the number of calls we get from qualified business buyers from your print publication and 30+ websites!
Remy Chen, Business Broker, Ivy Realty
Getting a phenominal response from your advertising, just started with you and can't believe the response, 100 times better than the Sacramento Bee. We just had our weekly office meeting with all the business brokers here in the office and I told everyone about the response I'am getting.
Larry Turner, Business Broker, Business Team Business Brokers
Since we've placed our ad (Fast Track - Featured Ad) with BizBen.com, we've had dozens of inquiries each week. We've advertised with other online sites but the response there could not compare with your site. Thanks for providing your effective online service!
Dave Margolin, Business Broker, BizOps
We get the most response from your media than any other place we advertise our business lisings - thought you should know.
Gordon Wiser, Agent, CB Properties
Just sold the Oil Changing Business (full price offer!) we had advertised on your website - we utilized your FAST TRACK Advertising Program! In a little under 2 months I had a great response for this listing - over 17 emails, well over 60 phone calls, and over 1900 people who saw the ad on your website and in your media. I will definitly be doing more FAST TRACK Ads with you in the future!
Tony Moran, Business Broker, Business Team
I just listed another business for sale with your company and I have to say WOW your site definitely works BEST out of all. I placed several ads with other sites one was FOUR TIMES the rate of yours, over 98% of my leads came from your site and I sold this last listing in 2 days!!! I WILL ALWAYS USE YOUR SITE TO SELL MY BUSINESS FOR SALE LISTINGS. You really have a great site… Thanks for all the help in selling my listings!
