Buying a business takes the vision to see what that company can become beyond what it already has achieved.

Buying a Business

It takes a careful, detailed, and methodological approach that accounts for the specifics of your situation but includes all of the details that make a successful purchase possible.

• Due Diligence
• Legal Representation
• Accounting
• HR - Key Employee Interviews & Retention
• Capitalization & Financing

...to name a few.

Preparing Your Business for Sale

The most valuable way to prepare your business for sale is to develop high-efficiency processes and systems that allow a smooth transfer of operations from one owner to another. I call this 'Run it Ready to Exit'.

When you're closer to your desired sell date, it's more important than ever to understand how businesses are valued and take the action necessary to improve the 'curb appeal' of your business.

• Systems
• Processes
• Vendor Relationships
• Customer Relationships

Preparing to sell a business is likely the most difficult thing an entrepreneur can do. Actively doing so is also going to make a huge impact on the value of your business to a potential buyer.

Selling your business is a rewarding experience. It can also be a source of anxiety as you work to get value out of something you've put so much of yourself into!

Selling Your Business

You're thinking about a lot of specifics when you decide to sell a business... and you're dealing with a lot of emotions as well.

• How are businesses valued?
• What is the valuation method you want to focus on?
• Do you need a business broker?
• When should you start looking for a buyer?
• Where do you look for a buyer?

Whatever the future holds for you after the sale, you want to go there with the peace of mind and confidence that you got good value for the investment of your own time and money that you poured into your business. Our system provides that through a systematic approach to transferring a business from one owner to another.
