Selling a Business

Whatever the goals for selling your business may be, the venture is best handled by professionals. We have the training and experience to guide you through the complexities of the process in a comfortable and efficient manner. We also coordinate the efforts of your professional advisors, such as attorneys and accountants.

During the process, your job is to continue running your business, maximising its profitability and “presentability” as if you were going to keep it. Our job is to confidentially market your business, find the right buyer, and to represent you in negotiations.

All prospective buyers are required to meet certain standards, one of which is confidentiality. All prospects are screened before a business for sale is disclosed to them and must sign a non-disclosure agreement to ensure that they will not divulge any information until the appropriate time Also required is a Buyers’ personal financial statement (PFS) and evidence to show you that they have the means to buy and operate your business successfully.

Our marketing and presentation of businesses is of the highest calibre, helping move the sale ahead to its conclusion. Yet, no business is sold until the paperwork is complete. As last minute details can result in a lost sale, when the deal or negotiations come to a deadlock, we will be there to help find a solution.
