Boaters Make Successful Descent of L.A. River in 52-mile Los Angeles River Expedition
A eclectic group of Angelenos successfully navigated kayaks and canoes down the full length of the 52-mile L.A. River (from headwaters to estuary) as part of the first-ever Los Angeles River Expedition 2008. The three-day exploratory expedition demonstrated that the whole river merits a determination as a "traditional navigable water" -- which would entitle the river to the highest standards of federal clean water protections under the Clean Water Act. The Army Corps of Engineers, however, still maintains that only 4 miles of the entire river can be considered traditionally navigable waters, and that boats are not allowed in the LA River, despite California public trust laws that do not support that notion.

Upscale Women's Retail Business Sold in California Last Month
San Ramon, CA (PRWeb) February 8, 2007 -- A retail business was one of the top businesses sold on BizBen.com last week. The upscale retail boutique in San Francisco carries brand name women's clothing. Business broker George Arabian worked with over twenty potential buyers to find the best match.
Both the previous and new owners were passionate about the business, that is located on a busy designer street in Mill Valley. The buyer had to get financing to close the deal, but that presented a problem. The problem was the last three year's tax returns showed a loss, making it tough to qualify for a loan.
"We had a willing and motivated seller and buyer for two upscale retail women's stores in great locations. They were in a high traffic upscale designer street location in San Fransisco and downtown Mill Valley. The buyer just needed financing to get the transaction closed," said Arabian.
The owners of the retail business had four other stores, some of which were not making money. All of the tax returns were figured together, which canceled out the profits of thnt of sale system to get the actual revenue and cost of goods sold. Armed with this information, they were able to secure a SBA loan for the seller with less than 20% down.
The husband and wife team who bought the boutique already owned two retail businesses in California. "Buying another retail store to add to the other clothing boutiques they owned meant more efficiency. They can order in bulk, combine advertising costs, and extend their brand. The buyers plan to do more marketing such as direct mail and joint promotional events with the local chamber of commerce," Arabian said.
The retail business was one of 1,327 California businesses sold by owners of small businesses, business brokers, & real estate agents for the period of January 8, 2007 through February 5, 2007.
