How to sell a business with a smooth transition and an optimized sale
Why wouldn’t my business sell smoothly?
- Business abandonment – Vendors, customers, or employees may find out about the sale and leave the business. This lower’s your business’s value and could cause sale failure.
- Underrepresented value – If the value of the business, like profit history and valuation worth, is not presented it can mean missed opportunity for an increased sale price
- Wrong financing choices – If you don’t choosing the right financing options, you might lose buyers and end up with massive tax bills
- Incomplete buyer financing – The buyer may not be able to complete the financing
- Unforeseen liabilities problems – Unpaid taxes, binding contracts, and liens on your business, if not dealt with will cause problems in the sale process
- Extra costs – Sometimes, there are fees you will be expected to pay if you don’t follow proper procedures. For example, some loans require pre-payment penalties if paid off early.
- Surprise burdens – A bad purchase agreements could put surprise burdens on the seller
