California 'Business Wanted to Buy' Feature Added to BizBen.com

San Ramon, CA (PRWeb) February 21, 2007 - BizBen.com has a new feature to help California business buyers find unadvertised businesses for sale listings. The web site, designed to help people buy or sell a California business, now has businesses wanted to buy profiles. This feature allows those who want to buy a small to medium-sized business get the word out to business brokers and business owners with businesses that match their criteria.

"Sixty percent of all California businesses for sale are not advertised or marketed. The business owner may tell a business broker they are interested in selling. If they run across a qualified buyer they will refer them. We wanted to speed up the process of matching people serious about buying a business with unadvertised business opportunities for sale," said Peter Siegel, owner of BizBen.com.

Siegel points out that many people who want to buy a business are not proactive enough. As a result, most never end up buying a business. In fact, only twenty percent are successful in their search.

"Thousands of people look for a business to buy on BizBen.com each day. Now business buyers can create private and secure listings and find unadvertised business opportunities. By adding this service, we hope to facilitate more successful sales of small to medium-sized businesses in California," Siegel said.

The business wanted listings include the following information about a business buyer:

1. Type(s) Of businesses wanted to buy
2. Geographic area they are interested in
3. Adjusted net income or return wanted or expected from business
4. How much down payment they have to put towards the business
5. Business background, including work experience and skills
6. Level of motivation for buying a business: time frames, etc.
7. Contact information - phone numbers, Email, fax, mailing address

This service is unique to businesses for sale web sites in that the information is not made public. "The information we provide about potential business buyers is both high quality and highly targeted. Other businesses for sale web sites list profiles of business buyers publicly. Business buyers then get solicited for other services or spammed. We only give out the information to active business brokers in California or people selling a California business," Siegel explains.

How the Business Wanted to Buy Feature Works
The feature is available to California business brokers and active advertisers on BizBen.com. When they log in to their account, they will see a list of people in their area who are actively looking for a business to buy. They will also get a daily email with new profiles of business buyers in their area.
