11. Eleven Important Tips
When Selling Your Own Business
 Pricerealistically. You certainlydon’twanttopriceyourbusinesstoocheaply,butyou can also
comeoutshortif you priceit toohigh becauseyou will scareawayalotof qualifiedbuyers. If it’s
overpriced,thebusinesswill beon the marketfora longtimeif it ever sells atall. Andthelonger
it’son the marketthe greaterthe riskof youremployees or customersfindingout. Lookfor
comparablesalesandcomparesellingpriceswith yourown business.
 Preparea businessofferingpackage. All theinformationthatbuyerswill needtosee such aslease
andprofitandlossstatementshouldbequicklyavailablebecausebuyerswill loseenthusiasmif
they haveto wait.
 Do all thedeferredmaintenancebeforeputtingthebusinessupforsale. If buyerslookaround
yourbusinessandrightawaytheysee itemsthatneed fixingthen theyoften wonderwhatelse
needs fixingthattheycan’tsee.
 Preparea purchaseagreementbeforeyou findabuyerand fill in theblankswhen you havea deal.
Attorneysare sometimesvery slowin puttingagreementstogetherandagainabuyersenthusiasm
can evaporateif the purchaseisdelayed.
 Lookfora buyerin as broadan area as possible. Don’tdependsolelyon yourlocal paperto
produceleadsbecauseonlyafraction of thepotentialbuyersarereadingyourpaperatany
particulartime. Thewayto get thebest priceisto attractasmany qualifiedbuyersaspossible.
 Qualifyyourbuyersrightaway. You needto knowabouttheirfinancial strength andbusinessskills
beforeyou give outconfidentialinformation on yourbusiness.
 Make sure yourspaceandequipmentleasesare transferablebeforeyou lookforabuyer. Many,
many potential saleshaveblown upbecausealandlordrefusedtoassign alease. If yourremaining
lease term is shorttermnegotiateanew lease first.
 Make a deal with thebuyer firstbeforeyou givehimaccess toyourfinancialrecords. Itis
extremelyimportantthatthebuyerhasample opportunitytoexamineyourbusiness. If hedoesn’t
andthebusinessfailslaterhe may well sue you formisrepresentation andfraud.
 Make sure thatevery partof thetransaction isin writing,includingall contingencyremovals.
Peoplequicklyforgetwhatwassaidandnotwritten whichfrequentlyleadstoargumentsandthen
lawsuits.
 Alwaystake a substantial depositwhenyou havereachedan agreementwith abuyer. The deposit
shouldbeheldby aneutral escrowholdertohelplimityourliability.
 Make sure if you are doinganyfinancingof thesale,thatall thecorrectproceduresarefollowedto
protectyournote. These includefilingof aUCC1 statementwith theStateof California,suitable
promissorynotes,securityagreements, etc.
