Selling a Chlorinators Business

No one said selling your business in a depressed economy would be easy. Although it's going to take some work, there is a good chance you can still sell your company at or even above fair market value.

Selling a chlorinators business? You'll need to be prepared to address a variety of challenges that are common in the business-for-sale marketplace.

Fortunately for sellers, forward-thinking entrepreneurs continue to be attracted to chlorinators businesses that exhibit strong financials and potential for future growth.

Dealing with Tire Kickers

Many prospective buyers will have a strong desire to acquire your chlorinators business. The bad news is that they will lack the financial capacity to close the deal. As a seller, it's important to separate the tire kickers from the serious buyers as soon as possible. Each tire kicker is an investment of time and energy that could be poured into finding a more qualified prospect. If you aren't sure what to look for in a serious buyer, ask your broker for advice. Never provide detailed information about your chlorinators business until the prospect has been qualified as a serious buyer.

Post-Sale Details

As your chlorinators businesssale nears completion, there is a lot of work remaining to be done. The transition to the new owner, the distribution of sale proceeds and other issues can weigh heavily on sellers. You, your employees and the buyer all have a stake in making sure the sale ends as smoothly as possible. If possible, work with the buyer to create a transition strategy that minimizes the impact on the business and your workforce.

Preparing Your Chlorinators Business for Sale

The outcome of a business sale is largely determined prior to a market listing. Profitable chlorinators business sales begin with a comprehensive strategy that incorporates planning, preparation and market positioning. Even though it may take years to adequately position your chlorinators business, the amount of preparation you perform will have direct correlation on asking and sale prices. It is especially helpful if your financial reports can demonstrate a multiyear growth trend for potential buyers.
