Why should I use a business broker such as Capital Advisors, when I sell my business?
Any business owner who has sold a business on his of her own will tell you it’s a long, tedious and stressful process. It consumes a large amount of your time and distracts you from the day to day operation of your business during the time when your focus should be on maintaining or increasing the value of your company.
Capital Advisors experience will allow you to maintain your focus throughout the sale process. In addition, when you retain Capital Advisors to sell your business you will benefit from the following:
- Confidentiality. If you, as an owner, attempt to sell your own business you reveal that your business is up for sale. Employees, customers, suppliers and bankers will all get nervous and competitors will attempt to capitalize on this opportunity.. Capital Advisors will protect the identity of your company and promote the sale of your company only through a "blind profile", a document that describes the company without revealing its identity.
- Business Continuity. As a business owner, you already wear many hats. Selling a business, on your own, is time-consuming and will take you away from the essential functions of your company. This may damage to the business resulting in a lower value. When you retain Capital Advisors to sell your business you can maintain your focus on running the business and increasing value.
- Reaching potential buyers. Capital Advisors has the tools and resources to reach the largest possible base of buyers. We then screen potential buyers to be sure they are qualified to potentially purchase your business.
- Marketing. Capital Advisors will present your company in a way that allows you to maximize the sale price. We have a strong understanding of the key values that buyers are looking for and assist in identifying changes that can lead to a better selling price.
- Valuing your Business. Putting a value on a business is far more difficult and complex than valuing a house. Every business is different, and each has hundreds of variables that impact the value. Capital Advisors subscribes to business transaction databases that we use when analyzing a business.
- Balance of Experience. The majority of corporate buyers have acquired multiple businesses while those who sell a business have usually only done it once. Capital Advisors can level the playing field for a business owner.
- Closing a Deal. Since Capital Advisors focus is purely on selling your business, there’s a much better chance that a deal will be closed in less time. The faster the sale, the lower the risk of employee problems, customer defection, and predatory competition.
Utilizing the services of Capital Advisors, allows you, the owner, to focus on running the business. While we work to maximize your sales proceeds by involving a the largest universe of buyers in a confidential, competitive process.
