How exactly does Escrow work? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) from what i gather, the escrow company is kinda like a Notary with a Bank and i put in the funds and they'll hold them until certain terms in the sales contract are fulfilled and then release the funds to the seller ... am i close?

Escrow protects both the buyer and the seller. If there's a cloud on the liquor license, the buyer is protected. If the buyer can't qualify for the license, the seller is protected (so's the buyer). You NEED a third party to handle that stuff for you so nobody gets burned, and the sale goes through smoothly and legally. BTW, you wanna be sure any plans you have for the establishment comply with the zoning laws and the conditional use permit, that you have a fictitious business name on file with the county, that you have your sales tax and business license requirements fulfilled, and that the city and the state will allow the transfer. Also that the seller doesn't have any undisclosed financial or legal baggage that will affect YOU after the sale. THAT'S what an escrow agent does for you. The Cap'n
