Selling Your Business: Determining if a Buyer is a Qualified One

October 31, 2017 by Michael Shea PA

If you own a successful business, chances are good that you will have significant interest from a number of buyers when you decide it is time to sell. While this is very encouraging and exciting, it is important to understand that only a fraction of these potential buyers might actually be qualified to buy your business.

It is also important to consider how much information you share about your business with those who show interest. A lot of the information that you will share with a buyer will be private, so it’s essential that you are certain that the ones you provide this information to are not on a fishing expedition for a competitor or simply don’t have the funds or expertise to purchase.

Finding qualified buyers for your business is one of the most crucial activities you can do in the process of selling it. If not done properly, you can waste a lot of time, energy, and – worst case scenario, end up with an unsuccessful transaction.

It takes a significant amount of time and expertise to find the right buyer which will ensure your success in selling your business. This is why many business owners choose to work with a business broker to derive the most value from the sale of their business.

What Transworld & Michael Shea Do for your Business

When it comes to locating the right buyer for your business, Michael Shea P.A. & Transworld Business Advisors has an unparalleled track record of success.

During the selling process, we utilize the latest technology to present your company to other business brokers and strategic buyers all over the world. This greatly multiplies the effort in your favor. With Transworld Business Advisors, you have literally thousands of industry professionals selling your company, yet your confidentiality is always respected.
Our aggressive marketing program includes placing your listing in various industry databases, Internet sites, and publications that are constantly updated. We spend more money in advertising and marketing for buyers than anyone else in our industry.

We organize all necessary documentation and release information only as needed. We use limited information when advertising to maintain confidentiality. Then, buyers are pre-qualified and required to execute a confidentiality agreement before receiving any sensitive information concerning the sale.

Transworld Business Advisors’ process attracts thousands of buyers, creating healthy competition for your business. Buyers are qualified for financial ability to meet the offer. We will then reduce that number to only the most qualified buyers. Once you meet the best of the buyers, we urge them to prepare and present all offers.

Often, a negotiation is doomed to fail because of lack of proper qualifying. As your business broker, we can also approach and continue to track potential buyers without weakening your position.

Selling a business can be challenging. Making certain that you have found the right buyer is key to the success of the sale and achieving maximum return on your investment. Transworld Business Advisors can help you gain access to a wide range of potential buyers and find the one most qualified to buy your business.
