Typically selling a business yourself is demanding. Preparing all the necessary documents and advertising material, devising and effectively executing a successful marketing strategy, maintaining the confidentiality of the sale, approaching potential buyers and acquirers, negotiating an effective deal and working through the legal process can be time consuming, frustrating and highly demanding. All this whilst trying to continue to successfully operate your business. Most Business Owners opt to seek specialist help. Choosing the right advisor is imperative not only to the success of the transaction, but it allows you to continue to operate your business, maintain its value and offer you peace of mind. This podcast discusses the options open to you to help you make the most informed decision. If your sale is simple and straight forward, and confidentiality is not important, you may elect to sell your business yourself or use a business transfer agent. If, however you are looking for a more specialist approach and your business has a strong value, then you may save time, stress and money by using a business broker. It allows you to keep running your business and maintaining its value; after all it may take a year or two to find a suitable deal.

In today’s episode we will be answering the following questions; When is the right time to sell a business? Why do business owners decide to sell their business? What are the main driving forces when such decisions are made? When should you sell? In most cases it seems that personal circumstances dictate this important decision. However, business owners are often ill prepared for a sale and it will not necessarily lead to the wisest financial decision. A business owner should always be looking to sell, because all companies are vulnerable to competitors, disloyalty of clients, technology, change of trading environment and losing key personnel. An astute entrepreneur will always have an exit strategy in mind and be open to acquisitions, expansion and the opportunity to sell for the right price. Even a growing business with excellent profits is worth placing on the market for sale as it will have an high value, and owning a business is always risky. Sometimes, the larger a company gets and the longer it’s kept, the chances of failure increase. Owners become more conservative, fearing greater damage than when it was a small business, and become more risk of with time. Any time there is an opportunity to get liquidity in your company, you should consider it, because goodwill is very transient and can disappear overnight. The chances of a business becoming and continuing to be successful are slim, and a business should be regarded as an asset. Although there is value in a business, there is no liquidity until you go through a sale and sell a part of, or all of the business. You should always be looking to exit your investment; not because your business is in a good or bad place but because it is a smart business decision. Having an exit strategy in mind will make you more prepared and flexible for those inevitable personal changes in your life.
