Why not sell my business myself?
Over 50% of all small-to-medium sized business sales arranged by sellers
without professional intermediaries result in transactional problems,
dissatisfaction, or default. Over 50%!
Why use a Business
Broker?
Selling a business at any price is a tough
proposition.Today's
marketplace is crowded with competing business opportunities, and there is not a
centralized "Multiple Listing Service" for businesses.
Maximizing your exposure to attract the most qualified buyers and making that first good impression
are key to finding the best buyer.
What will a Professional Business Broker
do for me?
Professional Business Brokers will:
~ Guide you through
the process with industry established tools and experience
~ Provide company valuation insight and
business comparables to establish marketable company value
~ Compile key information into a professional company presentation
~ Effectively list and network market your business to reach the widest
audience of qualified buyers
~ Search sources of pre-qualified and interested buyers
~ Screen
general inquiries and pre-qualify prospective buyers
~ Minimize distractions to you and your business
~ And where
most deals fall apart, will assist in structuring a deal favorable to both
parties
Why won't a business sell?
~ Strong cash flow, but buyer feels it's overpriced
~ Seller is unwilling to negotiate
~ Buyer is unable to get financing
When is the best time to sell?
The best time to sell is when the business is
doing well; however, even a business not at its peak can be sold if priced
correctly
What is my business worth?
The value depends on many factors such as:
cash flow, asset values, financial history, condition of the equipment and
premises, favorable lease terms, competition, location, and the economy. By
analyzing your business and comparable sales in your industry, we can advise you
on the best pricing strategies for your business.
