Just wanted to say hi

Hi all, Just wanted to say hello :) and thank you SO much for using BizON. I've said this before, but its super important to step back and reflect on the meaning of what we're doing, and how humbled and honoured we are to be part of your journey. We may not be sending people to space, but at BizON we are helping people wake up every day, loving what they do whether it's retiring after the sale of a business, or because they just bought a business that suits their lifestyle. We genuinely believe in the power of being an entrepreneur and business owner, and this is extremely important to us. With that said, if you are considering the sale of your business please check out this recent blog: http://blog.mybizon.com/10-must-do-things-before-putting-your-business-up-for-sale/ Wishing you all the best.

Updating the status of your listing

Just received great feedback from a BizON seller: there is a huge problem with Bizon: you can't delete your listing! To confirm, you can absolutely close your listing. To do so: 1) Click Analyze & Manage on your dashboard 2) Click the active listing you want to close 3) Click Status 4) Update your listing accordingly You also receive these instructions when your listing expires. We value feedback like this as it makes our marketplace better. Setting the status of your listing not only helps our sellers stay organized, but it allows us to improve our marketplace so we can make better connections. Thank you Berta.

Dear all, There is a case that a buyer just bought a tailor company, he paid a 50% of the total price, will pay the rest on the handover day. At this moment, the business still run by the owner, but the buyer who decide not going to the business because he is kinda busy, and he will not pay the rest of 50% to the owner.

Wall Street Deals Get Done Faster Than Small Business M&A

A great question was asked by John Hyde on WhatTheyThink? And I think my answer is something that every entrepreneur and business owner should see. He asked: How is it possible that corporate giants AT&T and Time Warner reach an agreement on the terms of a merger in only two months while many small business owners languish over deals for six months, nine months, or even years? My answer is simple: Corporate giants are more organized, prepared and they engage in effective communication to avoid wasting time. SMEs, entrepreneurs and business brokers should take note in order to move deals quicker! Best of luck selling, NP

Help for my distressed business

In USA, New Jersey. Me: stupidly thought I could remove 900K from my thriving business to build my dream home without damaging the business. Fast forward to today and I stand to lose both without an investment. Could use a private equity loan or willing to take on partner. There is a lot of debt but with proper level of investment (not as much as you think) turnaround would occur within 9 months or so. 2015 sales: 6 million with a staff of 4 (inclusive of me, not drawing a salary) - we are a wholesale distributor of tools, test equipment, safety and MRO supplies. Two e-commerce websites, ebay store, amazon store and we sell several products directly to Amazon. Company is a proprietorship which expedites the need for a solution. Would like to incorporate after we are fixed.
