STEP ONE: PUT YOUR BEST FACE FORWARD

You want buyers to feel like they’re getting your business at its peak. The best time to sell is when the company is doing great. However, if you've lost your motivation to improve the business, then you may want to sell now before the business starts declining.  You also want to make sure you have clear, clean paperwork so potential buyers can see exactly what they are getting.

STEP TWO: MAKE IT A WELL-OILED MACHINE

Manufacturing is a business that needs a strong presence at the top to succeed. But eventually, you want your manufacturing business to run practically on its own. This is especially true if you’re looking to sell your manufacturing business. If a potential buyer sees that the company is lost without you, they will pay less than if you have a management structure in place. It's best to have talented people that know what they are doing rather than everyone looking to the owner for guidance.

STEP THREE: GET YOUR MANUFACTURING BUSINESS VALUED

You can’t get the best value for your business if you don’t know what that the value is. You can make a rough calculation on what your business is worth by yourself, but if you’re looking to maximize sale value, get a professional Business Broker to provide an honest, unbiased assessment of your manufacturing company’s worth.  Many manufacturing businesses also do the distribution.  We'll find out more about your business, including whether you have an extensive network of distributors or you own a manufacturing and distribution company. In either case, your company, both types of companies are in demand. We can also prequalify your business for financing so that we know how much money banks are willing to lend a buyer to purchase your business.

STEP FOUR: GET THE RIGHT SUPPORT

If you want to sell your business right, get experts to help. Many of those looking to sell manufacturing businesses do not even realize that there are business brokers out there who have an extensive database of potential buyers that are looking to purchase a manufacturing business.  This allows you to get the best value for your business with multiple buyers competing for your company.
