What Seller Questions to ask

What is My Business Worth?"
Tangible and intangible assets are what businesses consist of. Tangible
assets are the most visible and the ones that first attract buyers. Fixtures,
equipment, inventory and leasehold improvements make up tangible
assets. Intangible factors include business reputation with it's customer
or client base and within the industry; client lists; quality of product or
service; reputation with vendors and suppliers; strength of business
technology and many other factors that add value to a business. BIS
Business Brokers gather this valuable information, along with financial
statements, Federal Tax returns, Profit and Loss statements, we then
compile it into an individual portfolio to market your business.

How Long Will it Take to Sell My Business?
An average time to sell is between five to eight months. Some
businesses take longer to sell, while others will sell in a shorter period of
time. The sooner you gather all of the information needed to begin the
marketing process, the shorter the time period should be.

What Can I do to Help Sell My Business?
A buyer will want up-to-date financial information. Sit down with your
accountant or bookkeeper to have this information readily available. Your
Broker will use this information to advise you on a selling price and to
present your business to prospective buyers. Remember, buyers are
looking for cash flow.

Appearances Count. It's time to 'neaten" up the business, fix or replace
worn out appliances, clean floors or carpet and paint. First impressions
are important.

Don't discount the value of customer lists, proprietary information or
products, secret recipes or techniques, long term employees or well
maintained or new equipment. Take a look around and make a list of
what is important to your business. It will enable your Broker to present
the  whole package to prospective buyers.
