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 its 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 may other factors that add value to a business. BIS Business Brokers gather this valuable information to present your business to prospective buyers. This information, along with financial statements, Federal Tax Returns, Profit and Loss Statements, we then compile it into an individual portfolio to sell your business for the best possible price.

How long will it take to Sell My Business?

An average time is between five to eight months. Some businesses take longer to sell, while other 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 the information to advise you on a selling price and to present your business to prospective buyers. Remember, buyers are looking for cash flow, location and stability.

Appearances count. It’s time to ‘neaten’ up the business, fix or replace worn out appliances, clean floor or carpet and paint. First impressions are important.

Don’t discount the value of customer list, 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.
