Selling A Business
Information for Business Sellers
Selling a business can be a time-consuming process packed with headaches. It doesn't have to be.
Deciding to sell your business is the easy part. How to go about it is another
problem altogether! Setting a price, advertising, negotiating with a prospective
buyer, and a sea of legal and financial details need to be addressed. Also,
most accounting in a privately held company is done to minimize tax obligations
and may not portray the company in the best light; we deal with this problem
every day.

provides or can help with:
KNOWLEDGE
We can market your business without employees, customers or competitors knowing
that it is for sale. This is important to the smooth continuation of the
business during the selling process.
TIME
We can save you time and frustration when it comes to selling your business.
We're the small business experts who can guide you through every aspect of
the selling process - from arriving at a fair market price to handling financial
arrangements and closing the transaction. We're good at what we do. That's
why so many of our clients come back to .
MARKETING
25% of all businesses change hands each year. Because so many small businesses
go on the market each year, selling a small business is a competitive ordeal.
We can expose your business to prospective buyers not only
in your local area, but also throughout the United States and abroad, thus
securing qualified prospects. A good business broker is invaluable to the
process.
In addition, we screen buyers to determine their financial qualifications. Because we work with each potential buyer in finding the right business for his or her needs, the prospects we bring to you are genuinely interested in your business as well as financially capable of making a purchase.
Did you know that only one out of 10 buyers ever buys the type of business
they called about? Only one out of 400 buyers buys the specific business advertised!
While this can be maddening if you try to sell your business alone, it's a
big plus if you are working with . Since we receive
dozens of inquiries each day, the fact that you listed your firm with us
increases the likelihood of finding a buyer early in the selling process.
NEGOTIATIONS
Determining the right price, of course, is crucial. We'll arrive at a fair
market price that you can feel good about, because we know the prices of
similar types of businesses in your area in addition to trends at work in
the market.
Because we screen all inquiries, then schedule buyer-seller meetings only with serious prospects at a time convenient to you, you receive the combined benefits of convenience and absolute confidentiality.
We handle negotiations in a clean, patient professional manner that keeps
the business issues clearly in focus, rather than clouded by emotions and/or
personalities. We can do something you cannot do, we are able to pursue a buyer.
If you do, they may feel you are desperate and will only low-ball you on price.

of your needs. In fact, most of us have experience as small business owners.
Whether you are ready to sell your business now or are just beginning to
think about it, call the us for a confidential, no cost appointment
and business evaluation. We will be happy to answer any questions you may
have.
