Deciding to sell your business is the easy part. How to go about selling it is another problem altogether. Setting a price, advertising, negotiating with a prospective buyer, and a host 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. This is a problem we deal with every day. Your SUNBELT broker will help you in recasting your financial information to capture the true discretionary cash flow produced by your business. This allows you to maximize the value of your business by showing its true earning capacity.
Confidentiality
SUNBELT can market your business without employees, customers or competitors knowing that it is for sale. This is important to ensure a smooth transition of the business during the selling process.
Unlike the sale of real estate or franchises, the sale of an ongoing business is very confidential for both the seller and the prospective buyer. All inquiries are held in strict confidence. Meetings are confidential, and we will work with you to schedule convenient meeting times and locations.
Marketing
At SUNBELT, you have the advantage of the largest network of business advisors in the nation. We can expose your business to prospective buyers not only in you local area, but also throughout the United States and the world.
In addition, we screen all 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.
Only a small percentage of people who inquire about a particular business eventually purchases a business of that type. While this can be maddening if you try to sell your business alone, it's a tremendous opportunity if you are working with SUNBELT. Since we receive dozens of inquiries each day, the fact that your business is listed with SUNBELT increases the likelihood of finding a buyer early in the selling process.
Negotiations
Determining the right selling price, of course, is crucial. We can assist you in determining a fair market price that you can feel good about, because we know the prices of similar types of businesses in your area, as well as trends at work in the market.
We screen all inquiries and schedule meetings with serious prospects at a time that is convenient for you. This offers you 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 of personalities. SUNBELT turns the problems created by attorney's, accountants, land lords, buyers and sellers into creative solutions that work for you.
