owner, to focus on what’s most important - running your business.
If you would like to sell your business…
Call or EMAIL now for a confidential Pricing Analysis - no cost, no
obligation!
- We will schedule a no obligation confidential meeting at the time
and location of your convenience, where we can begin to learn
about your business, including its financial performance.
- After
we review the information you provide us, including your
financial information, we will come up with an asking price
range that we know is appropriate for your business. At this
time, we will discuss the advantages of having a formal business
valuation performed.
- If
you choose us to represent you, we will prepare a Listing
Contract for your signature and we will immediately prepare your
business to go to market.
- During
this pre-market stage, you will be asked to provide us with more
detailed information regarding your business, including
advertising materials, client lists, and product info, as well
as financial information not already provided, such as profit
and loss statements, balance sheets, and tax returns (latest 3
years if possible).
How
we sell your business…
- We
will first prepare a written Confidential Business Review for
your business that summarizes its most important features, such
as history, operations, competition and recast financial
information.
- We
will search our proprietary database of buyers for a match with
your selling criteria.
- We
will market your business in a generic fashion, in order to
ensure maximum confidentiality. Generic ads will be placed in all of the most effective
outlets for selling a business, including internet and print
media. We may also utilize a direct mail or telemarketing
program.
- Every
prospective buyer must first sign a Non-Disclosure and
Confidentiality Agreement and be approved by you before they
receive any specific information about your business, including
its name and the Confidential Business Review. This way, you know who is viewing the information about
your business and you will have the ability to prevent
employees, customers, competitors, or suppliers (or others you
may object to) from knowing that your business is for sale.
- We
will handle all of the legwork involved with the sale of your
business, from qualifying buyers, to negotiating the price,
terms, and structure of the deal. We will also work closely with your accountant and lawyer
to determine the best possible deal structure and terms for your
situation. Our goal is to get our clients the best price in the
shortest period of time.
