The darts, dartboards, and supplies business-for-sale marketplace is a nuanced environment, full of pitfalls for sellers who aren't prepared for its demands.
Undaunted by economic conditions, many darts, dartboards, and supplies business sellers are achieving their sale goals through deliberate sale strategies.
Equipment and Inventory Concerns
Buyers typically perform an independent appraisal of your darts, dartboards, and supplies business's real assets. Your appraisal should occur before you put your business on the market.

Post-Sale Details
Due diligence has ended and you're ready to close on the sale of your darts, dartboards, and supplies business. All that stands between you and the sale proceeds is a few signatures, right? Not so fast. The transition to the new owner, the distribution of sale proceeds and other issues can weigh heavily on sellers. Ideally, these and other post-sale details should be addressed early on. But if you haven't dealt with them yet, it's important to have a frank conversation with the buyer, your broker and other professionals as soon as possible.
Finding Prospects
Many sellers don't realize how many prospective buyers there are for their businesses. We frequently see qualified buyers emerge from the seller's network of business and personal acquaintances. In other cases, sellers take a proactive approach to finding likely buyers and contacting them directly. If you aren't generating interest in the general marketplace, consider approaching companies that sell complementary products or are closely situated in your supply chain.
