Selling Commercial
Tips on Selling a Business
Start with a reasonable asking price
Many business owners put ridiculously high asking prices on their businesses. They are making a serious mistake. A high asking price scares away many potential buyers. It means your business may remain on the market for a long period of time and will make other potential buyers wonder if there isn't some hidden problem with your business that has kept other prospects from negotiating a deal.
Be sure you are serious
Deciding to sell your business is not a decision that should be taken lightly. Selling a business will take up a lot of your time and effort. It will probably cause some business disruption, especially when employees, customers, competitors, and vendors are aware that your business is for sale.
Prepare statements and other information in advance
Be sure you have done your homework before you run the first advertisements announcing the sale of your business. Your first prospects may be your best prospects. Be sure you have prepared financial statements and literature promoting your business.
