Selling your business is a big step –it can often mean that you have decided to retire after spending many years building up a successful enterprise, or that you are embarking on a new career path –and so it is very important that you can look back on the process without regret. Often, those regrets can come in the form of not knowing if you could have achieved a better sale price –so we have prepared this handy guide with a few tips for ensuring you get the maximum payout (and the peace of mind that goes with it).
Start with a valuation
Any buyer will want to see that you are profitable and that your profits have not been stagnant. You can achieve some quick wins when it comes to profit increases by making your business as efficient as possible, cutting all the costs that you can, and streamlining your processes.
Identify growth opportunities
Start early
You need to plan for the sale of your business long before you actually want to step down –otherwise, time becomes a factor and you may be forced to accept a lower offer than you want. Planning ahead means that you can take your time to find the right buyer for you, at the right price and on terms that you set –and has the added benefit of giving you plenty of opportunities to improve the value.
Leverage external expertise
The single best way that you can ensure you get the best price for your business is by making use of an expert consultant.
