Selling a Business
When contemplating your exit from your business, you will require specialist advice from seasoned business brokers. Similar to most business owners, you will have a majority of your capital tied up in the business itself. If the sales process is handled poorly, there may be serious financial implications.
Problems can arise from:
Breaches in confidentiality
The business being valued incorrectly
Not pre-qualifying potential buyers and knowing they are genuine
Recognizing the intentions of the buyer
Incorrectly prepared sale & purchase agreement documents
Poor management of the due diligence process
Enticing the wrong buyers through poorly structured promo material
