Selling With Us

Why choose Business Sales and Valuations Ltd?

It is one of the biggest decisions in life to sell your business that you have built up over many years. It can take time and effort which many under estimate and it’s often best to plan an exit rather than expect a business to sell overnight. Some businesses do but many don’t because of poor planning and poor broker performance in what is an unregulated industry.

This can lead many business owners choosing the hype of the big names in the industry who advertise heavily in the hope that they will convert some of their many listings. There are also smaller brokers in the market with a boutique approach but still charging eye watering fees, franchise operations that are little more than a collection of individuals and even accountants that have started to dip their toes in the market with very little marketing knowledge, albeit with a vast knowledge of the numbers. We’re all different and that what’s makes the world go round and there’s enough choice for everyone to make ‘their’ right decision.

So choices are down to you as an individual business owner but do your research and don’t part with your hard earned cash until you are happy.

At BusinessSalesandValuations.com we are happy to provide advice free of charge for anyone wishing to sell their business in the hope that you will consider us when you finally wish to sell. Our offering will compare very favourably to anyone in the market and we would be happy to explain our differences to anyone you have met previously.

Preparing a business for sale

We are firm believers that the more effort you put into life the greater the rewards and this is the same when selling a business. It would be a shame to let all the hard work you have put in slip away when now is the time to maximise all that effort and sleepless nights.

In order to maximise the value of your business we recommend investing time and effort in reviewing all aspects of its performance from suppliers to customers and debt management to credit terms. These will all help position your business as a viable going concern and ensure your buyer realises that you care about their future success. We are also more than happy to work with your accountant and financial advisor to determine the best and most tax efficient exit strategy.

So what's it worth?

No matter what anyone says there is no right way to value a business. We have tools and techniques to sense check what a realistic valuation would be and this will always be important should a buyer need to raise finance to purchase your business. Both you and your accountant will have a figure in mind but there is a lot to consider such as the economy, tax changes, exchange rates, disposable income, technology and new trends plus so many other factors. However the vital piece of the valuation will be your hopes and dreams and whether the return we can all achieve will help you realise your future direction. It’s always best to have an open discussion and if there are things we can put in place over time to boost a valuation then we’ll advise you accordingly. If it’s a quick sale you need then we can action this as well. As a business owner I can guarantee we’ll be honest as our reputation is on the line.

And when we get an offer for you!

OK so this is a great message to hear from us and hopefully it will not come as a surprise as normally questions from a buyer will become more specific and lead us both to gauge that things are looking promising.

This really is only half the story. Now it’s about making sure both the buyer and seller are absolutely in agreement on what is for sale and what is included in the price agreed. This is called a Heads of Agreement and we compile this for both parties to approve. This can be a simple one page document or something approaching a book but it’s best to cover off as much as possible now, rather than both parties pay for solicitors to have the conversation for you. After this has all been agreed then it is important to keep in touch with solicitors, and while we’ll be doing, this it’s important that both the buyer and seller do this as well as we tend to find this keeps things moving.

There will always be ups and downs along the way and we will be on hand to help overcome any difficulties that arise.
