Keywords: Deal Article Body: Deal is an agreement that is reached after negotiation. Agreement is a mutual commitment between two or more people. A deal is a type of contract that two parties agree to follow. Deals are very prevalent in business areas, thus we are constantly hearing terms like business deals, financial deals and more. While making a deal with another company or person, there are a few things that you should remember. When you are negotiating with another company, take charge of the situation. It is important to be in control of the deal initially to ensure a smooth flow of positive activity. You may sometimes face unavoidable situations when the opposite party cut a deal that leaves you exposed. It is not always possible to shield yourself. Leaving those unavoidable instances, try to be in control of the entire situation when you are dealing with another person or company. While you are dealing with another company, it is best to collect the money sooner than later. Deposits, advances, and front-loaded payment schedules are ways of judging the reliability of the other company. Cash is always safer than checks in deals, and a certified check is safer than a personal one. While dealing with money matters, do not move beyond your budget. Take help from third-party financing, only after the deal is officially made. In a deal, you should communicate clearly and specifically about your expectations, leaving no ground for misunderstandings. Have a condition attached to your deal. In a deal, make the key items subject to your approval. The best way of dealing with deals is to self inspect everything. Talk to the tenant and the franchisee to know how things are working. In a deal, try to be the boss. Create a situation in the deal where the other party will report to you by giving you `various reports on the various stages of the deal. There are very few companies that are self sufficient. Making deals with various companies not only increases the trust between the two, but also ensure a rise for both of them.
