Frequently Asked Questions

What Can I Do to Help Sell My Business?
Prospective buyers and lenders will require current financial information. Collaborate with your bookkeeper and accountants to ensure this data is up to date. Additionally, if you are working with an attorney, confirm that they are knowledgeable about the business closing process and the relevant state laws.
On average, selling most businesses takes between five to eight months. However, this is just an average; some businesses may take longer, while others may sell more quickly. The buyer and their financing strategy play a significant role in this process. The sooner you have all the necessary information to start the marketing process, the shorter the time frame should be. It’s crucial to price the business correctly from the beginning. Some sellers, believing they can always lower the price later, overprice their business. This strategy often backfires, as buyers tend to avoid overpriced businesses altogether.
When a buyer is sufficiently interested in and informed about your business, they will submit an offer in writing, typically in the form of a Letter of Intent (LOI). This offer or proposal may include one or more contingencies. Typically, these contingencies involve a detailed review of your financial records and may also encompass a review of your lease arrangements, franchise agreement (if applicable), or other pertinent business details. You may accept the terms of the offer or make a counterproposal. However, it’s important to understand that if you do not accept the buyer’s proposal, they can withdraw it at any time. Once you agree on an LOI, you work closely with your buyer to complete the purchase agreement.
To successfully purchase and run a business, it’s essential to have sufficient capital for the acquisition, desired improvements, and a reserve for any slow starts. Hard work and long hours are often necessary. Unfortunately, many modern buyers are not prepared to make the necessary sacrifices. A business owner must be versatile, taking on roles such as janitor, errand runner, employee, bookkeeper, and “chief bottle washer.” Many people mistakenly believe they can buy a business and simply manage it from behind a desk. Small business owners must be proactive and hands-on.

An effective business broker enhances the transaction for all involved parties, including buyers, sellers, advisors, lenders, landlords, and others..


Sellers

You are the expert in your business, and we are the experts in the process. When done correctly, together, we will maximize the outcome of your business sale. A good business broker should increase the value of your transaction more than the fees you’ll pay for their help.

Buyer management is another reason to hire a broker. This includes vetting and helping buyers through the process, obtaining project financing and advisor referrals, and navigating the entire process of acquiring and transitioning into the business. We are your coach and guide, providing foresight into the process so you know what’s coming next.

Buyers

Brokers provide you with a selection of different and, in many cases, unique businesses, including many that you would not be able to find on your own. Approximately 90 percent of those who buy businesses end up with something completely different than initially thought. Business brokers can educate you about the process and help you become a highly qualified, well-informed buyer.

Off-Market Listings and Targeted Searches

We often have off-market listings or place a company under contract before it hits the market. This occurs when buyers take the time to complete search profiles, which gives them exclusive access to off-market listings and early access to market listings that match their search criteria.

If you are searching for specific business characteristics, we highly encourage you to complete a buyer and/or financial profile below and get on our contact list. The process is quick and easy, and your information can be used for any future listings we are working on together. Each of these profiles takes about ten minutes to complete, and you are welcome to upload additional information, such as a resume, PFS, etc. Your data can be updated in the future as needed.
