Preparing To Sell Your Business - Austin Business Broker

At VR Mergers & Acquisitions / VR Business Brokers we are acutely aware of what it takes to sell a business in Central Texas.

Two important roles of the professional business broker are: Preparing the seller, and aiding the seller in preparing the business to achieve the maximum gain from the sale.

Owners sell their Austin-area businesses for many reasons: retirement, partnership disputes, personal relocation, family concerns, the desire for change, illness, or to enter another business venture. Knowing your reason for selling aids your VR Business Broker professional in structuring the most advantageous transaction. VR turns to its professional alliances to help you seek the appropriate tax strategy, succession plan, or investment strategy to again help you maximize the benefit of the sale.

VR Business Brokers have identified some specifics you need to consider to sell your business successfully:

  • Having provable accounting books and financial records increases the numbers of potential buyers
    Buyers want proof of the sales and profits your business has earned in the past.
     
  • Expectation of a reasonable price and terms
    Educated buyers only consider competitively priced businesses, but are willing to pay what your business is truly worth.
     
  • List of assets including furniture, fixtures, and equipment
    Your business broker can advise you as you prepare a complete inventory that can be referenced during inspection.
     
  • Attractive lease
    We can consult with you on the terms of assignment to the new business owner, or of a new lease.
     
  • Best possible appearance
    Having your business premises neat, clean and in good repair helps you get top dollar when you sell your business.
     
  • Valuing the business properly
    A careful valuation of your business creates a document that makes it more attractive to the buyer and shows it to be competitively priced.
     
  • Covenant not to compete
    We can help you prepare a non-compete agreement that assures the new business buyer that you won't compete against them within an appropriate distance and for a reasonable period of time.
     
  • Reason for sale
    Buyers will want to understand your reasons for selling your business and be comfortable that you are not holding back information that could hurt their investment in the future.
     
  • Time is of the essence
    You must be prepared to move forward when a qualified buyer shows interest in your business.
     
  • No surprises!
    If you tell your business broker about them in advance, most adverse situations can be overcome, such as landlord problems, outstanding loans, tax arrears, unfavorable equipment leases, and even non-compliance with zoning, health or other regulations.
