DUBLIN, CA / AGILITYPR.NEWS / November 09, 2020 / California had a total of 727 Small Businesses sold in October 2020, an 8.5% increase from last month. Sales are down 51.3% from the same time last year in California according to the BizBen.com Index.
"Usually October sales of California small businesses outpace September but this year with the election uncertainty and the uptick in COVID-19 cases nationwide has given both owner/sellers and business buyers pause. Even though buyer demand is improving, small business sales are still staying neutral over the last several months. Hopefully with the elections over and with other economic data settling, both sellers and buyers will start to transact again throughout November," said Peter Siegel MBA, BizBen.com Founder and ProSell/ProBuy Program's Lead Advisor.

"This last month we have seen considerable activity in the deal area, particularly in the construction and health care arenas. Another important factor in deals has been the handling of PPP Loans, which so many potential Sellers have outstanding,” said Bill Ziprick, Attorney At Law, ProAdvisor On BizBen.com.
"Many of my restaurant sellers are still struggling, but are optimistic, and making a greater effort in improving their business' curb appeal, outdoor dining, and making online ordering and pickup more efficient - things buyers like to see in this market," said Joe Ranieri, Southern California Business Broker, ProIntermediary On BizBen.com.
