I remember it well It was the summer of 1998. ZDTV had just started broadcasting, theantitrust suit against Microsoft had just been filed, Windows 98 had just been put on themarket, and PHP 3 had just been released. Being in high school, we didnt have much to dofor the summer, so we read up on the latest and greatest web development techniquestrying to learn more about this dynamic thing we had heard about.

A skilled business broker is also the intermediary that can help save a business sale if required.Selling a business is a process that is unlike the sale of a building or land. A business is typically sold as a going concern. As such, there are many points throughout the process where a deal can fall apart. A buyer may see something in the financial due diligence that causes some concern, there may be a miscommunication, a financing issue or perhaps a simple case of cold feet. A business broker should be able to address each concern with a sense of professionalism.
