Deal with a Business Brokerage Professional to Sell Your Business
Selling a Business is much different than selling real estate
Work with a professional in the field of business brokerage to successfully sell your business.
Steve Skrlac focuses exclusively on the purchase and sale of businesses.
How Steve Skrlac Will Assist You in Selling a Business.
Determine a listing price
Calculating the right listing price for your business using several different valuation methods is something we will assist you with. We should also be able to give you an idea of the price range that your business is likely to sell for. It is critically important to list your business at the right selling price in order to successfully sell it.
Normalize the business financial information
To get a true picture of the economic performance of your business, your company's financial information will need to be restated. Selling a business is very much a 'numbers game' that Steve Skrlac can assist you with.
Buyers want to understand what the true economic performance of a business is. We will help you in recasting your financial information to determine its 'seller's discretionary income' and other important financial metrics so that buyers can get a strong understanding of your business financial performance.
Create a marketing package for business buyers
Business buyers usually 'shop around' for a business for sale until they find one that best fits their needs. It is important to always showcase your business to potential buyers in the best possible way. We will create a customized business information package to present to interested buyers.
The identity of your business will remain confidential until a non-disclosure form is properly signed, at which point a buyer will receive a more fulsome information package. We will always advise clients that before disclosing detailed financial information, that we first receive a conditional offer with a deposit.
Keep the business sale confidential
Selling a business is much different than selling real estate. The sale of a business must be confidential so as not to alert customers, staff or competitors. We will protect the identity of your company and not disclose any confidential information until we have a signed non-disclosure agreement from a prospective buyer.
Suggestions to make your business more salable
Dealing with a business intermediary that is active in the business sales market will give you the advantage of qualified advice to know what you can do in advance, to make your company more attractive to buyers.
Find business buyers - and qualify them
We will market your business aggressively (and confidentially). We advertise to a large database of business buyers, online, newspapers, magazines and through our influential network of professionals and other influencers.
We have a very strong web presence and receive substantial local internet traffic from people looking to buy a business. We will strive to find potential buyers for your small business and qualify everyone's financial position, seriousness and capability before introducing them to your company.
Manage the sale negotiations
Transacting a business sale is completely different than a typical real estate transaction. There is usually (much) more complexity and emotion involved and there is a certain level of tension and apprehension that must be bridged. We will act as an intermediary to keep the lines of communication open between all parties.
Manage the due diligence process
Due diligence is the process whereby the business buyer checks the facts and details regarding the business. Due diligence is typically done after a conditional offer is accepted and it allows the buyer to do his or her 'homework' on the business prior to going firm with the deal. Due diligence is one of the most critical periods of a business sale. It is when the buyer pours over the company financials and examines the business operations and other issues (example - environmental, legal, market, etc.). Our role is to manage the due diligence process and facilitate open and honest communication between all parties.
Due diligence is one of the most critical aspects of selling your business and our role is to manage and facilitate the entire process between the purchaser and vendor.
Keep information flowing
When a business is sold there is a tremendous amount of information that must go back and forth. Our role is to keep the deal moving along by facilitating communication between the buyer & seller but also the lawyer, accountant, bank, franchisor, landlord, leasing company, etc. Business buyers are usually more comfortable dealing with a business intermediary than with a seller directly, so they can be more open and direct.
The decision to sell your business is a major step. Most people have many questions about how to sell a business and how best to attract qualified buyers. Contact Steve Skrlac for a confidential consultation to discuss the process of selling a business.
