Selling A Business
When you work with our company, you get a long list of benefits to help your business stand out in a crowd and sell for top dollar.
Selling a business at any price is a tough proposition. Today's marketplace is crowded with competing business opportunities, so standing out in the crowd to attract qualified buyers is the key to making a successful sale. We are committed to helping Seller's businesses get noticed and sell for top dollar.
Our "secret" is hard work. When we represent a business, we do the preparation well before taking the company to market. You only have one chance to make a good first impression on a Buyer and we don't want to squander the opportunity.
Here's an overview of just some of the things we do on behalf of businesses listed with us:
Professional Business Profile. The most important tool in positioning your company to sell for top dollar is a Business Profile. Our profiles are in a league of their own and may include extensive trade area analysis; Robert Morris Associate data; extensive comparable sales information from several sources including Pratt Stats, the Institute of Business Appraisers and other sources. When warranted, data and descriptions are wrapped into a professionally bound.
Print Advertising. When appropriate, we advertise in the newspapers in and out of the local area. We also advertise in trade and business publications and in business brokerage and M&A publications to ensure maximum exposure for your business.
Internet. The Internet is today's tool for selling a business fast. Thousands of Buyers are reached every day through leading Internet sites. We post listings on various prominent business brokerage sites.
Strategic Marketing. The difference between just going through the motions and really winning is the development of a strategic marketing plan to sell your business. We create a strategic plan to target the potential Buyers for your business in and out of your industry. We use direct mail marketing to reach potential Buyers in places that you may not have even thought about. We give Buyers specific reasons to acquire your business. Our goal is to create a "bidding war" for your business, ensuring top dollar for you, the Seller.
Confidentiality. We know how important maintaining the confidential nature of your sale is to your business, its employees and suppliers. You can count on us to make all efforts to preserve the confidentiality of your business. Our ads or Internet postings are "blind." Your business' identity is hidden to the public; only the facts necessary to generate Buyer interest are presented. Buyers must sign a confidentiality agreement and demonstrate the financial wherewithal to purchase your business before they are given your Business Profile. In addition, if the prospective Buyer is local, we also like to meet with them before providing any confidential information.
Co-Broker With Other Business Brokers And M&A Companies. There is no true Multiple Listing Service ("MLS") for businesses. While businesses are kept confidential by the lack of an MLS system, all too often they are kept secret from potential Buyers because the listing brokerage or M&A firm wants to protect its commission. We work with other Florida Business Broker Association brokers and other reputable brokers and M&A firms to help ensure the timely and successful sale of your business.
Buyer Due Diligence. When a purchase offer is made, we can supplement Buyer provided information through other resources. Due diligence on a Buyer, if performed, is done at the Seller's request and expense.
Our Company provides its customers with winning representation in the crowded world of business sales. You can depend on us.
