Business Exits By Industry
Selling a Cardiac Rehabilitation Center
In any market, there are sellers and then there are serious sellers. We'll give you the tools you need to be taken seriously when you decide to sell your cardiac rehabilitation center.
We hear it all the time: "I'm waiting until the economy recovers to list my business."
But at Gaebler, we see cardiac rehabilitation centers still selling at a brisk pace. And the ones that are commanding the highest price tags are the ones with sellers who are committed to the sale process.
Dealing with Your Emotions
Business sellers sometimes struggle to handle the emotions of a sale. Be prepared to experience everything from elation to remorse during the sale of your business. It's important to allow yourself time to process your emotions during your exit. However, when it comes to negotiating a successful deal, there is no room for your personal emotions. To keep the sale on track, you'll need to seek the advice of a broker or another objective third-party counselor.
Tips for Seller Financing
Capital is hard to come by these days. Financial institutions have tightened up their lending policies, making it difficult for inexperienced and undercapitalized entrepreneurs to buy cardiac rehabilitation centers. As a result, buyers expect sellers to finance a significant portion of the sale. Although 100% seller financing isn't recommended, sellers are financing up to 70% of the sale price to close deals.
Legal Considerations
It's obvious that you're going to need to hire an attorney to finalize the sale of your cardiac rehabilitation center. Tackling the legal nuances and tax ramifications of a sale without a first-rate business lawyer is an invitation for disaster. We recommend hiring an attorney early in the process to gain insights about the legal consequences of various sale outcomes.
