Answer: the correct answer is A) If real property is involved in the sale, the broker (Alison, in this case) usually treats the sale of the business and sale of the land/building as two separate and concurrent transactions with two concurrent and contingent escrows.
Explanation:
The sale of business opportunities may involve the sale of only personal property.
Alison, in dealing with the sale of business opportunities, must remember to inform the purchaser of the various governmental agencies that the purchaser should contact for required permits, licenses, and clearances. These agencies include the IRS, State Board of Equalization, State Department of Benefit Payments, State Department of Industrial Relations, and various other county and municipal agencies.
The sale of a business opportunity includes the business's stock, trade fixtures, and trade name, a competition agreement, and lease assignment. While such a sale also includes the goodwill of a business, a monetary value cannot be placed on the goodwill.
