If you’re ready to sell your business, take the following steps to help you land the deal you want and ensure transfer of ownership goes smoothly.
- Maintain clean and well-documented financials.
- Get an estimate of your business’s worth.
- Hire a reliable broker.
- Find a pre-qualified buyer.
- Finalize contracts and close the deal.
While some business owners think selling their business may be a simple task, it is actually a long-term process that requires extensive preparation, documentation, and deliberate action on the part of both buyer and seller. However, if you follow the steps above, you will set your business up for a relatively seamless sale that gets you the money your company is worth and sets the buyer up for success.
