Financing a business purchase, or getting cash for a down payment can take many forms. Hopefully the options listed below will give you some ideas where you can find the money to buy a California business!
A potential small business owner/seller asks the question: I have a preschool and am thinking about selling it but my lease is ending soon. What would be the best thing to do? Do I renew the contract or do I act the landlord to sign a contract to the new buyer? and is it a good time to sell?
The likelihood of selling a business is often determined by external factors in the marketplace. Here are eight influences on how easy, or difficult it might be when selling a small business. Peter Siegel discusses these factors in a BizBen.com article.
One of the strategies for selling your business to a very cautious buyer is to relate the price to performance of the company in the months after the buyer takes over. Peter Siegel with BizBen.com explains this strategy.
Don't buy a laundry business before reading these 5 tips to maximize your investment. You'll soon be able to buy a laundry with confidence! Peter Siegel, MBA with BizBen.com discusses this topic.
The three most widely used sources of funds for financing business purchase assets are buyer's cash, seller financing, and SBA bank loans. Peter Siegel, MBA with BizBen.com and an SBA loan consultant & placement specialist explains the differences between them.
I have found over the years that the biggest obstacle in getting a deal done is the landlord. The landlord either makes the sale and/or lease of the business possible or prevents the transaction from moving forward.
Since 2011 we have completed an additional 850+ transactions and in total since 1996 when I founded Restaurant Realty Company, we have completed over $1,000,000,000 (billion) of business and real estate transactions.
The following list is broken down as follows. Stage 1 -- Items you need to do before you sign a purchase contract. Stage 2 -- Items you need to complete after you sign a purchase contract, and Stage 3 -- Items you need to do in order to close escrow.
One avenue that has consistently shown promise and potential for budding entrepreneurs is the world of franchise businesses. Buying a franchise business offers individuals an opportunity to step into a proven business model, benefiting from an established brand, operational framework, and support.
Before you buy a dry cleaners small business, read these critical tips about this industry. Discover why a dry cleaner needs to be "green" to be profitable. Peter Siegel, MBA (BizBen ProBuy, ProSell Program Advisor) explores this topic and other helpful strategies on buying a dry cleaning store.
Laundromats undeniably represent a fantastic business opportunity. They offer high returns and require minimal hours, making them an attractive investment. Even during severe economic downturns, laundromats prove resilient as they provide an essential life service, but why do laundromats fail?
For Laundromat investors looking to enter the industry, these are challenging times. This significant industry that is surging due to "smarter" equipment, cleaner spaces, more staff, & the larger payback for offering a better customer experience. But, brokers & sellers have unrealistic valuations.
The coin-operated laundry business has undergone significant changes, evolving beyond its traditional model. Laundromats are now transforming into comprehensive "laundry businesses." This shift reflects a broader approach that goes beyond mere self-service coin-operated machines.
