Deciding to sell your business is the easy part. How to go about selling it is another problem altogether.
Sunbelt Business Advisors has been in the business of selling businesses for over 25 years. Our business
brokers are well-trained professionals who are extremely sensitive of your goals & needs.
Many first-time business sellers either think about or try selling their business by themselves. Over time, the vast majority
of these business owners come to the realization that it is extremely difficult if not impossible to sell a business while running
it day to day.
Setting a price, advertising, negotiating with a prospective buyer, and a sea of legal and financial details need to be addressed.
Also, most accounting in a privately held company is done to minimize tax obligations and may not portray the company in the
best light; we deal with this problem every day. Our professional business brokers will help you in Recasting or Normalizing
your financial information to capture the true Seller's Discretionary Earnings. This allows you to show the business's true
earning capacity and allows you to maximize the value of your business.
As the Seller of a business one of your most legitimate concerns is confidentiality. Sunbelt can market your business without
employees, customers or competitors knowing that it is for sale. This is important to the smooth transition of the business during
the selling process. Unlike the sale of real estate or franchises, the sale of an ongoing business is very confidential for both
the seller and the prospective buyer. All inquiries are held in strict confidence. Meetings are confidential, and we will work
with you to schedule convenient meeting times and locations.
Because so many businesses go on the market each year, selling a business is a competitive ordeal. At Sunbelt, you have the advantage
of the largest network of business brokers in the nation. We can expose your business to prospective buyers not only in you local area,
but also throughout the United States and the world.
In addition, we screen all buyers to determine their financial qualifications. Because we work with each potential buyer in finding the
right business for his or her needs, the prospects we bring to you are genuinely interested in your business.
We have found that only a small percentage of people who inquire about a particular business actually end up buying a business of that type.
While this can be maddening if you try to sell your business alone, it's a tremendous opportunity if you are working with Sunbelt.
Since we receive dozens of inquiries each day, the fact that your business is listed with Sunbelt increases the likelihood of
finding a buyer early in the selling process.
We handle all negotiations in a clean, patient, professional manner that keeps the business issues clearly in focus, rather
than clouded by emotions of personalities. We can often turn the problems created by attorneys, accountants, landlords,
buyers and sellers into a creative Win/Win solution.
Sunbelt Business Advisors can make selling your business a successful, rewarding experience from your first meeting with
us to the day you turn over the keys to the new owner.
Whether you are ready to sell your business now or you would like to get an idea of how much your business might be worth
in today's market, contact us today for a free, confidential consultation.
