When you want to sell business, the hardest step is usually finding the right buyer. Business buyers are choosey and if you are not careful, you might end up selling at a loss.

To do so, you have to seek advice from business brokers. They are more experienced and have sold many businesses in the past. The third step is identifying parties that may be interested in buying your company. Here are some of the potential buyers you should reach out to.

Competitors

Business brokers will immediately reach out to your competitors. They are your ideal candidates. This is one reason you should be polite to your competitors.

Suppliers
If they want to expand their businesses, suppliers will find the option of acquiring your business very attractive. They have the products and you have the buyers. So, the decision to buy your business will be quite attractive to them. Give your business brokers the contact information of your suppliers. These will make it easier for them to get you a good buyer.

Clients
Clients are never left behind when business brokers are searching for buyers. There is a good chance that one of your clients has been interested in your business. Reaching out to him could help sell business fast.

Lenders
It is obvious you get financing from somewhere. When advertising the sale of your business, you should never forget about your lenders. They may be willing to buy your business especially if you have outstanding debts.

Family and friends
Another group of people you shouldn’t ignore is the family and friends. They were with you when setting up your business and they may be interested in running a similar business. You can ask them if they want to buy your business. However, to avoid complications, ask business brokers to help with the sale. Alternatively, if you want to sell business because you can no longer run it for personal reasons, then passing it on to another generation could be a good idea.

The above are just some of the buyers you should consider reaching out to. However, if you really want to sell fast and at optimal profit, you must keep your business brokers close. The business sale process is not an easy one. A lot has to be done and if you are not careful, your business may remain on the market for years. Heed to the advice of business brokers. You should also consider advertising the sale of your business as extensively as you can. The more people hear about the sale the easier it will be to find a good buyer.

What Client’s Say

We Couldn’t Be Happier

"When we thought about selling we had no idea what our business was worth or how to go about selling. What you were able to do was to cut through the fog so that we understood the valuation issue and had a comfort level with the process. As you know we ended up selling for somewhat more than the original valuation and we got all cash and our CPA loved the way our tax liability was minimized. We couldn’t be happier!"

Over $250,000 More

"Our first contact with you shocked us when you suggested that we wait 18 months before selling because you believed that if we hit our projections that the value would be significantly greater. As it turned out we not only followed your advice but also got slightly over $250,000 more than we originally had hoped for. It is seldom that we have had the opportunity to deal with a firm that doesn’t want both money and a commitment NOW. It was clear and obvious that you had our best interests at heart."

You Got the Valuation We Agreed On

"You did a great job on the sale of our business in really beating the bushes for buyers, including a UK company that was an active suitor. You managed to get the valuation that we had all agreed upon and got it substantially all in cash and got the transaction closed with little to no problems or expensive lawyers involved."

Thank You for Handling Our Business

"Our business was smaller than what your firm normally handles but it was a BIG part of our net worth and savings. Thank you for handling our business and we were very pleased and delighted with the results."

More Than Anticipated

"Our transaction was involved as we had different corporate entities located in different states. Our only regret is that we didn’t retain your services before 2012 when we paid $25,000 to a firm in Texas that did a valuation and market analysis for us before then failing to do anything in the way of trying to sell our business. You got it sold for more than anticipated."
