How about a sales/purchase agreement?\n\nThis document defines the parties, price and terms, what is included and excluded, assignment of lease(s), representations and warranties, time, date and location of closing, allocation of purchase price, responsibilities for taxes and fees, etc.\n\nIt is essential for you to have one.\n\nMichael Casey CPA\nBusiness Consultant\n608-271-0068

This question screams for a lawyer.\n\nIf both businesses are sole proprietorships, you could make the case that you had sold the business to him to make good your rental debts. Technically, in a transaction like this, the buyer of a company takes on both the assets AND the liabilities... Unfortuantely this sounds like a sales contract was not drawn up.\n\nI suggest, since you're obviously not rich, that you at least seek some pro bono guidance from a legal clinic. Good luck.

I just bought one... Best way is to get an accurate income (their may be money sliding by to keep the taxes down).  Accurate costs is also needed, food mainly but don't forget payroll, water, electricity, taxes and insurance... The rest is pretty much like any real estate.  Is the area growing?... Restaurants are also seaonal, this month may provide a significant income but december may lose money, look at the year not the month, sometimes it helps to look at the last 5 years, which can help you predict the next five... \nA huge question is... If it is doing so weel why sell it.... The restaurant business is a trench fight and buying an establish money maker is the way to go

Sell the export business, and cut your losses.  Take the money from the sale, and pay off your business, and start another.

Find out what you like and a market.  You could sell scrub tops, shoes, specialize in electronics, the possibilities are endless.  There is a market for most things, and as long as you provide great customer service your business shall blossom.  Do combine shipping and donate some of your proceeds, and have buy one get one at so and so.  No matter what you sell make yourself standout.

no. In my oppinion you'd have to simplify and generalize it to the point of being a text book. And if you made it specific to an industry you could only sell one. If you're trying to sell your marketing skills subcontract your services as a consultant.

That would depend on the business type. Can you clarify?

Advertising here blatantly like this won't get you any business.  Just shows your desperation when done in the fashion.\n\nI suggest attending For Sale By Owner open houses on the weekend faithfully.\n\nBeat feet to all the Realtors offices in your area.\n\nPrint flyers and post them at your local supermarket or other business card bulletin boards around town.\n\nCall CPA's, CFP's, REA's and other professional people that can refer business to you.\n\nLet your friends, family, and neighbors know what you do, they are great advertisers for you.

Depends on what your selling, e-bay is a great way to sell certain items if you want to try it go to e-bay.com. Swamp meets, flea markets, state fairs, trade shows, and special events around your area can provide leads also. Chamber of Commerce can help they often have a list of companies that belong to the Chamber. Put a ad in the classified of your local newspaper.\nBuild a web sight and advertise it, radio is another way some radio stations have shows that sell/trade and buy things.\nMy wife and I have printed up flyers and posted them at local stores, luandry mats, and other places on poster boards with owners permission.

- Size of the market - are there enough people who would want this product/service?\n\n- Market demand - would people actually want to buy this product?\n\n- Your own skill set = do you have what it takes to be an effective entrepreneur? If not, is there someone who can help you oversee the business?\n\n- Your resources = do you have enough resources to start the business, cashflow for at least a year? Will your family have money if and when your business fails?\n\n- What are the growth prospects for your business? What will be required for you to grow the company?\n\n- Does your product/service provide for good revenue per sale? This is often missed by many. It is difficult to succeed if you are selling a one-dollar product. \n\n- Will you be able to maintain high profit margins? Low profit margins are dangerous to your company's survival\n\n- How long will it take this business to reach the financial goal I have? Patience is the successful entrepreneur’s best friend.  It will take time for the business to become known, gather paying customers, and reach a break-even point.

I'm afraid not.  Real Estate agent is not considered a small business.  Now if you owned the realty office, then they could.
