Maximizing the Value of Your Business for Sale

The difference between us and every other business broker out there is simply this- we don't sell your business as it is, we sell it for what it can be.

What this means in practical terms is that after you have agreed to work with us, we will go over your business from top to bottom using our proven methodologies to turn up every possible bit of potential that the business has which can be realized by a new business owner.

Then, we use that value, plus the current existing value, to sell the business at a higher price than might otherwise be indicated but at an attractive enough price to generate considerable interest among buyers.

Don't confuse this for the feeble attempts made by others to point out the exceedingly obvious, such as suggesting longer operating hours or hiring a salesman to drum up more business.

We put together a detailed, specific and actionable plan for a new buyer to review and consider and provide an actual assessment of the top-line and bottom-line impact that those changes could make to the future of the business. With this information, we can justify a price for the business that, along with fair terms, will attract qualified buyers in short order.

It doesn't stop there, however. We also create a transition package unlike anything found anywhere else. One of the biggest buyer fears is that they will take over and not know how to successfully run the business. With this package, they will have a complete operating plan detailing every aspect of the business operations and leaving nothing to chance. This item alone will make the business twice as attractive as anything else they may be considering.

The final thing we do is create a presentation plan for the business itself, which includes all the tasks the seller can complete to make the business look the most attractive. This covers everything from cleaning up the books to cleaning up the desks and everything in between. Very few brokers know how to properly stage a business for sale, or even bother to try, but not doing it is leaving money on the table- your money!

There is a reason that the industry average for businsses sold is fewer than 1 in 5 of those listed. We are not the industry average broker, however- we do things differently, and we get different results.

If you are interested in having us represent us in your business sale, give us a call and we can work together to make it happen.
