Keys to Selling Your Business

January 24, 2012 by Kendric Foultz

Knowing what a business buyer wants is the key to selling your business and getting the best price for it.  In this market climate, most buyers are looking for two things, a cash flowing business and a deal.  Here are a few things that a business buyer is gong to want to know that will allow the buyer to asses the situation and determine if yours is the right business for them. • Is the business currently producing an income for the owner? • Is the business seller retiring and fully funded his or her retirement plans?          • Does the sale of the business only represent a small part of the retirement portfolio? • Is the business debt free? • Do the financials show that the depreciation schedules are completely exhausted? Affirmative answers to these questions tell the business buyer that the business is making enough money for their needs and you are indeed in a financial position to sell your business and sell it within the constraints of the marketplace.
