Business owners make very important decisions every day – one of the most important decisions comes when it’s time to sell your business. 

There are many reasons why owners choose to sell their business: 

• Time for retirement
• Getting an estate in order
• The decision to not invest additional capital 
• Lack of family available to take over the business
• Desire to step out of owning and running a business full time 

Whatever the reason may be, there needs to be an orderly transaction to new ownership which is something we can help conduct. 

Confidentialty

Various procedures must be in place to ensure the sale of your business is not at risk. As professional business brokers, we have developed non disclosure forms, procedures, and closed networks of agents to ensure the confidentiality throughout the sale process.

Valuation

Valuing a business correctly is one of the most important steps to get your business sold in a timely fashion. Here are some of the items we use to properly value a business: 

• Three years profit and loss, Three years tax returns
• Current balance sheet
• List of all assets and liabilities 

Combining these items and a few others, we use a valuation tool to properly value your business with a fair market value. 

Business Profile

In order to present the business to prospective buyers, a written business profile will be conducted to show various facts about the business. This may include facts about the business that are relevant to the sale, however confidentiality will always be protected.
