Article: Be sure you have accounted for as much of the business as you reasonably can. Have you accounted for every asset and every dollar that enters or leaves the company, including those that might not be on the financial record? If you're the buyer, have you accounted for loan costs? Think methodically. List expenses and incomes by type and then go down the list and ask yourself, "does this business have this factor?" If the answer is yes, make sure you have a figure for it. Think outside the money. Account for "soft" factors like the location, age, and general reputation of the business. These can drastically alter its cash flow value. Compare the market range for similar businesses to the income and asset figures you calculated. Be sure that your income figure multiplies up to the range consistently, and that your asset figure matches up with the assets of businesses in the range. The specifics of how the business is being sold will affect the figures you've come up with, whether you're a buyer or a seller. Various things can raise or lower the amount of money that can reasonably be expected to change hands during a business sale. Know the difference between cash and credit. A seller demanding a cash sale will command a lower final figure than one willing to work with financing. Likewise, a buyer who offers cash can probably negotiate a lower price. Buyers should also be aware of how they're balancing monthly payments with the down payment. By placing a larger amount of money down at the beginning of a financing deal, a buyer can make his or her monthly payments smaller, which will result in more monthly income from the business.

Article: Let the first coat dry for an hour, then apply an additional coat using the same technique. Depending on the desired color, apply 2-3 coats over the first layer, waiting an hour for the coat to dry in-between applications. The more coats that you apply, the stronger and richer the stain will be. After you've applied several coats, place it on a flat surface. Leave the object to dry for at least 1-2 days before touching or moving it. Curing times may vary between different stains. Check the stain's directions for specific instructions. Dip a foam brush in a clear paint finish and spread it over your object's surface in small sections. Once you've coated the entire object, let it dry for another 30-60 minutes to seal the finish before touching it. Clear finishes protect your gel stain from flaking off or fading over time. For a smooth, brighter sheen, choose a semi-gloss paint finish.

Apply 2-3 additional coats of gel stain. Let the gel stain cure for 24-48 hours. Add a clear finish over the dried gel stain.
Article: Prepare a baking pan by greasing it lightly with non-stick cooking spray, butter, or shortening. You could also line the baking pan with aluminum foil instead of greasing it with cooking spray. Use a serrated kitchen knife to cut the squash in half lengthwise. Dig out the seeds and stringy pulp. Make sure that the squash is clean before using it. The skin of an acorn squash should be scrubbed with a vegetable brush under running water to remove dirt and debris. Use a heavy metal spoon or ice cream scoop to dig out the seeds. Both halves should be cut-side-down in the pan. Do not stack the halves. They can touch, but they must not overlap. Cook the two halves until the flesh feels tender when poked with a fork or paring knife. Do not cover the squash as you cook it. Temporarily remove the squash halves from the oven and brush the cut sides with the melted butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, if desired, and return them to oven for another 15 minutes. Note that the squash halves should now be cut-side-up inside the pan. You can enjoy this squash as is, or you can mash it or use it as a base for other recipes requiring pre-cooked acorn squash.
