Fortunately for sellers, forward-thinking entrepreneurs continue to be attracted to fax equipment rental and leasing businesses that exhibit strong financials and potential for future growth.
Working with Appraisers
There is no substitute for a qualified appraisal in the sale of your fax equipment rental and leasing business. Leading industry appraisers equip sellers with a value gauge that can be accessed during negotiations. If you're disappointed with the appraiser's estimate of your company's worth, you have the option of seeking a second opinion. However, it's more often the case that you will need to adjust your expectations of your business's value to buyers.
Finding Fax Equipment Rental & Leasing Business Buyers
It's difficult to predict where the buyer of your fax equipment rental and leasing business will come from. So you'll need to take a diverse approach to identifying prospective buyers. Although it's helpful to target promotional tactics to likely buyers, allow for some exposure to the broader market. Sellers should also recognize the value of promoting their sale in trusted business networks, carefully balancing the need for confidentiality with the promotional potential of their contact base.
Understanding Market Timing

With interest rates at all-time lows, it's easy to see why fax equipment rental and leasing businesses are an appealing investment opportunity for savvy investors. As the interest rates rise, it will be more difficult for buyers to make the numbers work in their favor. So we see market timing as a concern that can be easily mitigated by applying fundamental sales strategies and adequately preparing your company for buyers.
