The California Business Broker & Education Center Blog is a forum where participants may publically and privately share information related to the private business sales and appraisal industry. Users will be able to exchange resources, build a public or private online library, develop a step-by-step strategy to properly appraise and position a business for sale, and if desired, establish a viable marketplace wherein the sale of a business is the appropriate “next step”! That is to say, a sound business decision is made that has been carefully planned and organized by and for the benefit of all stakeholders involved to systematically avoid the familiar and terminal “knee-jerk reaction to unfavorable conditions" of a sale that far too often characterizes many of those businesses listed for sale in today's market place.
