Before listing your business on the market, it’s crucial to ensure that it is in optimal condition. Our experts will assist you in identifying areas for improvement and implementing strategies to enhance its value and appeal to potential buyers.
Utilize Free Market Value Analysis:
Take advantage of our complimentary market value analysis to gain insights into the current market conditions and determine the optimal pricing strategy for your business. With our comprehensive analysis, you can make informed decisions to maximize your returns.
Access SBA Financing Opportunities:
Currently, SBA lenders are extending financing of up to 90%, coupled with attractive fixed and variable rates. As part of our initial preparations for bringing a business to market, we prioritize securing SBA financing by obtaining one or more pre-qualification letters from our SBA lenders. This not only instills confidence in prospective buyers regarding the business’s viability but also provides them with insight into the available financing terms.
Within our Confidential Information Memorandum (CIM), we include a dedicated section outlining SBA financing, featuring the lender’s pre-qualification letter and detailed financing terms. This comprehensive approach also encompasses a Net After Debt Service calculation, offering buyers a clear understanding of the financial benefits they will net.
Let’s explore how we successfully sell businesses for their maximum value:
- Free Market Value Analysis:
Before listing your business, we conduct a comprehensive Free Market Value Analysis to calculate your company’s current market value and our recommended asking (listing) price. The Market Value Analysis provides you with the expected selling price so you can meet with your financial advisor to develop your tax strategy to minimize taxes and post-sale investment strategy. - Taking Your Business to Market:
After reviewing the Market Value Analysis with you, the next step it is signing the Representation Agreement (aka Listing Agreement). Once this is signed, we prepare the CIM (confidential Information Memorandum) which is a the prospectus or confidential marketing brochure for your business. The CIM is only sent to buyers after they have signed an NDA and provided their financial information.
With the CIM complete, we launch the advertising campaign which includes featured ads on the top business for sale websites and email blasts to our buyer email list and the business for sale websites email list. - Buyers – Sourcing & Qualifying: As inquiries come in, we carefully vet prospective buyers by sending them our Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and Buyer Profile. Through this process, we ensure that only qualified buyers with genuine interest are engaged, streamlining the selling process for maximum efficiency.
- Preparing the Offer and Negotiations: When a buyer is ready to make an offer, we prepare the offer on the CABB (California Association of Business Brokers) purchase agreement. With the offer completed and signed by the buyer we review it with you and then prepare a Counter Offer if necessary?
Our experienced team handles the negotiations between you and the buyer. - Due Diligence: During the due diligence phase, the buyer verifies the earnings and revenue claimed by the business, as well as evaluates its overall performance. Our team assists in providing necessary documentation and supports you throughout this critical stage of the process.
- SBA Financing: We work closely with the buyer to facilitate the submission of their SBA application. Additionally, we assist you, the seller, in submitting the required financial statements to expedite the financing process and ensure a smooth transaction.
- Escrow & Closing: Once due diligence is completed, Escrow prepares the necessary documents and oversees the closing process. With meticulous attention to detail, we ensure that all parties are in compliance and that the transaction proceeds smoothly to its conclusion.
- Training & Transition: As part of the purchase agreement, the seller provides training and transition support to the buyer, typically lasting 4 to 6 weeks. This ensures a seamless transition of ownership and sets the stage for continued success under new management.
One of the most critical aspects when you are about to sell a business is understanding its true value. As a seller, you aim to obtain the maximum value for your business while ensuring confidence in the listing price and fairness in the negotiation process.
Leaving money on the table is a concern for any business owner, but so is overestimating the value, which can lead to a prolonged market presence without attracting viable inquiries and wasting precious time.
