Six Things You Should Know Before You Sell Your Business

1. Know your business well

Trying to sell a business without stating its full potential can be an issue. Your broker will want to know all the company details and create a comprehensive description to attract the right buyer and the best sale.

2. An accurate business valuation is essential to a successful sale.

When the valuation is accurate, and the price is right, a business will sell more quickly and easily. Without the correct valuation tools or understanding of current market trends and comparables, setting an accurate valuation is more like taking a guess. It would be best to get in touch with a business broker like FCBB for your precise valuation.

3. Finding the best buyers for your business.

It goes without saying that for sales to happen quickly, you need a well-qualified buyer. First Choice Business Brokers in New York have lists of buyers ready and interested in your type of business.

4. Transparency throughout the sales process is attractive to the right buyer.

When selling a business, it is critical to be as open as possible and divulge everything about your business to your broker. Your broker understands the process for disclosure to the buyer and when it is the right time to do so. In some cases, neglecting to mention specific facts about your business can land you in legal trouble.

5. Good buyers will expect figures to be verifiable.

A good rule of thumb regarding facts and figures about your company is to make them verifiable. Your business broker can help you find the right metrics for your business and make the business attractive to excellent buyers.

6. Profits margins are more attractive to buyers than revenue

Buyers are concerned with profit margins before annual revenue. The higher the profit margin, the easier it is to sell your business.
