In this blog post, our team of brokers will provide a quick handful of questions you should be prepared to ask yourself if you are a business owner who is looking to sell. We believe that considering these questions for yourself could definitely help you arrive at a more comfortable position when it comes to making the ideal sale, at a winning price.

1. Is it the right time to sell?

If you want to sell on a whim, then it’s probably best to be honest about the reasons why you’re looking at selling your business. It’s generally the worst time to sell your business if you are only looking to be rid of it due to stress or an unpleasant experience. Potential buyers can easily pick up on this, and do not want anything to do with a business that is poorly run. Plan ahead to the future if you are looking to sell eventually. And keep a good account of your efforts as you work to build your business up to the value you want to earn.

2. Have you got the right person to represent your business?

It helps to work with a broker when it comes to sourcing the best potential buyers for your business. Finding the right broker can help you plenty when it comes to attracting a healthy amount of prospective buyers, and selling your business off at the right price. If you are out to look for a broker to assist you in selling your business, it pays to take your time to see a variety of brokers before settling on which one can best represent your interests.

3. Have you adequately promoted your business?

A broker can help you sell your business, but that doesn’t mean you should leave it all up to them. Nobody will know your business better than you do, so you would naturally be in the best possible position to promote your business for sale. You may be surprised at how many leads you could generate by combing through your supply or professional network alone. With enough foresight into planning the sale of your business, it is more than likely you’ll be able to find the right buyer through your own contacts, for the right amount.
