What Makes Working with a Business Broker a Great Idea?

A business broker San Diego is the expert you need on your side when you are getting ready to sell your company. He is involved in the sale of businesses almost on a daily basis. What this means is that he has more experience and will be able to navigate the challenges that get in the way with great ease. However, you should not hire the first broker that gets in your way. You need to learn as much as you can about a broker before hiring. With the right broker, you can enjoy the following benefits.

Greater confidentiality
The fewer people learn about the sale the better. The last thing you want is for your employees, suppliers, lenders, and customers to get wind of the sale. Often times, when they know about the sale, they will abandon you because of fear of the uncertain future. When they leave, the value of your company will go down. Business brokers San Diego make it easy for you to maintain confidentiality. They serve as buffers, preventing the customers, suppliers and employees from learning of the sale.

Make it easy to find qualified buyers
Not every buyer that shows interest in your business is actually interested in buying it. Some just want to learn the secrets to your success and that’s it. The work of a business broker is to make sure that only qualified buyers learn about the sale of your business. Marketing is done in such a way that the sensitive details about your business are not leaked. Qualified buyers are then required to sign a nondisclosure agreement before they are given more details about your company. The work of a broker is to ensure that the person that comes asking about your business has the means to buy it and is genuinely interested in owning it.

More exposure
Marketing a business for sale requires more than simply posting ads on the Internet. Business brokers San Diego use professional listing sites and maintain a database of interested buyers. This database helps with matchmaking that is needed to connect the seller with the best buyer. Brokers use targeted approaches in marketing to help you sell faster.

There is a lot more that a business broker San Diego will do for you. Other things worth mentioning is the fact that he will help with the negotiations, help secure financing and offer help in process monitoring. The rule of thumb is to make sure you hire a broker that is experienced and one with a great reputation when it comes to the sale of businesses.

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."
