STEP ONE – GET THE PROPER VALUATION

Getting the right asking price for your business is important in the sales process. Your assets and liabilities do not tell the main story. There’s your cash flow, the number of employees, how skilled they are and how much work they bring in, the types of clients that you have and more.

Many factors go into pricing a professional business for sale. We will find out more about your business and review your financial information to provide you with a recommended price.  There is no fee until your company is sold.  Without an experienced Business Broker who can fully assess the worth of your business and give you a reliable estimate, you may be leaving money on the negotiating table when it comes time to price your business. You can read more about the factors that go into valuing a business.

You can get great value from selling a Service business, and you don’t want to make a mistake by selling your companies value short. Here are some ways to avoid the pitfalls and get great value for your Service business.

STEP TWO – HIRE THE RIGHT BUSINESS BROKER

You want someone that has experience selling Professional Services businesses and has a pool of Potential Buyers to draw from for a wide variety of service businesses. Unlike most business brokers we don't sell retail companies, so our main focus is on selling service companies in a timely fashion for the best possible price. Our experience in selling B2B and B2C service businesses provides us with the right background to effectively position your company for sale and make sure it attracts the right buyers. In addition, our experience allows us to speak the language of niche service industries. To read more, you can view our article on choosing the right business broker to sell your service business.

In addition, you want a company that has good reviews. See our ranking as the #1 Business Broker.

STEP THREE – WORKING WITH YOUR BUSINESS BROKER

We will work with you to develop a marketing document that will attract potential buyers without giving away the identity of your business until a prospective buyer has signed a confidentiality agreement and provided information on their qualifications to buy your business. Then we will guide you through the process as we introduce potential buyers, negotiate offers, and close the deal.  You can read more about selling your service business quickly.
