Orange County Register

Anaheim leads Orange County in sales of small- and medium-sized businesses with 202 transactions through September, reports BizBen.com.

Although the city’s sales are way ahead of second place Garden Grove (139 sales) and third place Santa Ana (137), Anaheim will be hard-pressed to hit its five-year high of 363 business transactions reached in 2005.

Peter Siegel, president of BizBen.com, blames the current tight credit markets and the slowing economy for dragging business sales down across the state. In September, 152 businesses were sold countywide, a two-year low.
