San Diego County Small Business Advisors Weigh In On This Topic:

"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 soon over with and other economic data settling, both sellers and buyers will start to transact again throughout November." Peter Siegel MBA, BizBen.com Founder & 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. An interesting twist is that potential Buyers have been looking at freeing up significant equity for down payments from their homes (via sales or refinancing), particularly with the home sale market being strong because of the continuing low interest rates. Another important factor in deals has been the handling of PPP Loans, which so many potential Sellers have outstanding. The recent SBA Procedural Notice concerning Changes of Ownership in the PPP loan context provides more guidance, but with challenges, as well. While these requirements are from the SBA, a Seller must still bear in mind that their particular lender may have other criteria for consenting to a potential transaction, above and beyond what the SBA may require. We anticipate this continuing to be a major issue for potential transactions for some months into the future." Bill Ziprick, Attorney At Law, ProAdvisor On BizBen.com

"Most everyone I speak with, both buyers and sellers, are happy the 2020 election will finally be over, and hopefully, the government can get its act together and deliver additional stimulus and PPP money. 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." Joe Ranieri, Southern California Business Broker, ProIntermediary On BizBen.com
