Many business leaders say that now isn't the time to try to sell a dry cell batteries retail business. But in reality, now may be the perfect time to sell a dry cell batteries retail business.
The dry cell batteries retail business-for-sale marketplace is a nuanced environment, full of pitfalls for sellers who aren't prepared for its demands.
At Gaebler, we think waiting for the economy to rebound is a mistake for many business owners. Selling a dry cell batteries retail business isn't easy, but we believe sellers can achieve their goals in any economic environment.
Post-Sale Details
As your dry cell batteries retail 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. If there are pending details that still need to ironed out, address them ASAP to ensure a smooth closing and transition.
Finding Prospects
Whether you know it or not, prospective buyers for your dry cell batteries retail business are all around you. In fact, there is a good chance you already know several individuals or companies that might be interested in buying your business for a decent price. 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.
Equipment and Inventory Concerns
It's incumbent on buyers to commission their own appraisal of your dry cell batteries retail business's inventory, equipment, and physical assets. Most sellers, however, conduct a pre-sale appraisal to gain an accurate gauge of asset value prior to negotiations. Without an accurate assessment of asset values it's impossible to intelligently negotiate on price. When you conduct your appraisal of your assets, note their condition and include it in the information packet you prepare for prospective buyers.
