		<title>Dear Buyers, Socializing With Sellers will Make Your life Easier</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most buyers wrongfully believe that relationships don&#8217;t count in business purchase and sale transactions. They think that getting the best possible price and terms is the most important. I personally experienced instances when misunderstandings and lack of communication were responsible for long delays and additional costs to transactions or even the cause of promising deals falling through. In other instances, deals that seemed impossible still happened because sellers and buyers cooperated fully simply because they liked each other! Most experienced deal makers understand that numbers, while very important, don&#8217;t make deals happen but people do. Establishing a relationship with the seller is paramount for a buyer. There are two main reasons why relationships are deal drivers: We trust people we know and like. The deal making process involves a lot of uncertainty both for buyers and sellers. Uncertainty means perception of risk. If this perception is beyond the risk tolerance threshold then no deal can be made. Human interaction and socializing reduces this perception of risk. Most people make decisions emotionally and then rationalize them. This is the nature of human beings. Even famous CEO&#8217;s of large multinational companies operate the same way.

		<title>Buying a Business &#8211; First Mover Advantage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Business buyers generally take a very long period of time to make a decision about making an offer on a business. Most buyers go through an unproductive period of hesitation that makes the decision process even more difficult. Among the common mistakes are: Asking friends and relatives their opinion about buying a particular business. Since 90% of people are not entrepreneurs, 9 out of 10 people will discourage you from buying a business even if it is the best business you can ever buy. Wondering whether starting the same business from scratch is a better move. First, most existing businesses sell for a price lower than the cost of starting the same one from scratch, especially if you take into account the cost of waiting years and years before the business becomes profitable. Second, you will be at a serious disadvantage against competitors and your chances of success are very low unless your have a new idea never tried before. Finally, Most people will do a better job taking over an already existing business and improving it than starting a new one.
