Questions Buyers Ask when Thinking About Buying Your Business

When getting ready for commercial business sales El Segundo one of the most important things you need to do is understand what buyers will be looking for in your business. This knowledge will help better prepare for the sale. At So-Cal Business Brokers we have sold all kinds of businesses. We know the kind of buyers that would be interested in your business and what they would be looking for. Some of the key questions almost all buyers ask when considering a business that is on sale include the following.

Can the business excel in the absence of the current owner?

Buyers don’t want to invest in a business that will fail once they take over. One of the things they do is gauge if the business is dependent on the current owner. If the answer is yes they will turn you down. When you contact us for help with commercial business sales El Segundo, the first thing our team will do is get you out of the equation. We do this by hiring or training a new management team to take over your responsibilities. We will also ensure all your business systems and processes are well documented so that the new owner will not have any trouble taking over. Talk to us today to learn more on this. 

How long has the business been in business?

Startups don’t offer a success guarantee. This is why most buyers consider the number of years the business has been in operation. They will also want to know for how long you, the present owner, have owned the business. When you call in our team we will help gauge if your business is in a good position to sell now. At times we can ask you to hold off the sale – if possible – so that you can transform your business into something every business buyer would want.

Why is the owner selling?

People don’t stay in business long if they are not making money. If your business is going under business buyers will want to know. That is why they take your reason for selling very seriously. When you come to So-Cal Business Brokers the first thing we will do is evaluate your reason for selling. If your reason is not good enough we will recommend that you reconsider.

The above are the main questions buyers ask themselves. The list is incomplete and the kinds of questions they ask depend on the type of business you are selling.
