Exit Planning Techniques By Market
Selling a Frankfurters and Rolls Business
You've heard the naysayers - now isn't the time to sell a frankfurters and rolls business. But what they don't know is that many entrepreneurs see frankfurters and rolls businesses as a smart business investment.
The business-for-sale market is just as frustrating for buyers as it is for sellers these days. There are lots of buyers who want to own a frankfurters and rolls business, but have limited capital to get their foot in the door.
Fortunately for sellers, forward-thinking entrepreneurs continue to be attracted to frankfurters and rolls businesses that exhibit strong financials and potential for future growth.
Preparing Your Frankfurters & Rolls Business for Sale
First-time business sellers sometimes don't realize that the success or failure of their sale is determined before it hits the market. Profitable frankfurters and rolls business sales begin with a comprehensive strategy that incorporates planning, preparation and market positioning. Even though it may take years to adequately position your frankfurters and rolls business, the amount of preparation you perform will have direct correlation on asking and sale prices. But your efforts to improve your company's position and profitability will only be effective if you invest similar effort into the preparation of accurate financial statements for buyers.
Post-Sale Details
Due diligence has ended and you're ready to close on the sale of your frankfurters and rolls 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. 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.
Why Confidentiality Matters
Highly publicized frankfurters and rolls business sales are risky frankfurters and rolls businesssales. A low-key selling strategy is a low risk activity because you can control who does (and doesn't) know that your business is on the market. But if word leaks out to the wrong people, your competitors can use that information to steal business and damage your credibility. Successful sales walk a fine line between total confidentiality and aggressive promotion. We recommend consulting a business broker to learn how you can simultaneously identify prospective buyers and maintain a confidential sale environment.
