Subject: [WSBARP] Escrow for Business Opportunity

Anyone have any recommendations for any escrow companies who handle the transfer of businesses that DO NOT involve the transfer of real property?  I'm looking for someone to handle the preparation and handling of UCC-1s and the like.

While I'm at it, I'll ask this question.  Is there an exemption to the sales/use tax on the transfer of assets in connection with the sale of a business?  When I wore a younger man's clothes and practiced in the Golden State, we could use something called the "bulk sale exemption" to avoid taxes on the sale of the assets and inventory as long it was in connection with the sale of 100% of a business.
