How does listing a business for sale work?
First we meet. Should you invest, fix, change, sell or all the above. If sell then we complete standard listing agreement. We develop marketing plan. We implement and set up meetings with qualified, confidential buyers. Then the fun begins.
When is it time to sell my business?
I have bought and sold five businesses. It usually begins with people telling you that you look tired. You find yourself having trouble walking in the door. You grow less tolerant of complicated employee issues and dream of simple family and friend time. When you get to where you do not want any more customers or you are witnessing sales start to soften… you should have a sense of urgency to sell your business.
How long does it take to sell a business?
Although I recently sold a business in 60 days with a 30 day closing, you should estimate 6-9 months. There is a lot of due diligence, legal matters, lease assignments and preparations.
