Selling Your Business

One of the most important decisions an owner will make is in selling their business. There are many reasons owners have for selling their business. Many owners are looking to retire while other clients are ready for a change and are looking forward to a new chapter in their business career.

Our expertise is in preparing a business to be sold and in marketing the business to achieve maximum financial results as well as a smooth worry free transition. We use our extensive industry knowledge and relationships, as well as state of the art techniques, to find the right purchaser for the business.

We work for owners and do not represent both buyers and sellers on the same transaction. We don’t just get the deal done; we get our client the best deal and make sure it closes.

We typically perform the following functions for the sale of a business:

• Compile an executive summary showing current and projected results for the Company to present to parties interested in the possible acquisition of the Company
• Contact prospective parties to measure general interest in making acquisitions
• Obtain signed confidentiality agreements from interested parties
• Create and post a confidential business listing on the Cetane.net website and other business sale websites
• Provide an information package to interested parties and begin communications and negotiations
• Determine if the party is legitimately interested
• Receive and review offers
• Review offers with accountant and attorney
• Receive letter of intent from prospective buyer
• Assist in compiling the due diligence material
• Review purchase documents
• Attend the closing
• Assist in the transition

We do much more than just broker our client’s business. We act as the Company’s consultant during the process. This role helps all parties involved by simplifying communications, negotiations and meetings. We are our client’s advisor and confidant throughout the process. We provide our clients with information to help them make the right decision.

Historically we have averaged offers 26% higher than the previous best offer our clients have received. We know how to sell a company’s value to a buyer.
