Exit Planning Techniques By Market
Selling a Fruit and Vegetable Harvesting Business
You've heard the naysayers - now isn't the time to sell a fruit and vegetable harvesting business. But what they don't know is that many entrepreneurs see fruit and vegetable harvesting businesses as a smart business investment.
Cutting corners never pays off, especially in the sale of a fruit and vegetable harvesting business.
Fortunately for sellers, forward-thinking entrepreneurs continue to be attracted to fruit and vegetable harvesting businesses that exhibit strong financials and potential for future growth.
Team-Based Negotiation Strategies
Even if you hire a business broker to facilitate the sale of your fruit and vegetable harvesting business, it's likely that you will be the front line negotiator. Negotiation is a chess game, best played with the resources and backend support of a negotiation team. A negotiation team comprised of trusted advisors and senior business leaders is essential in helping you devise a winning negotiation strategy. More importantly, a negotiation team can serve as a sounding board -- an objective presence that prohibits your personal emotions from clouding your judgment or sabotaging your efforts to negotiate a successful deal.
Tapping Into Business Networks
Today's fruit and vegetable harvesting business buyers can be found in a variety of locations. Online business-for-sale databases like BizBuySell.com offer convenient resources for sellers interested in promoting their business to a broad prospect base. For more targeted lead generation, consider tapping into your network of industry contacts. The downside of industry networks is that it leaves your company vulnerable to exploitation by competitors. Use good sense in restricting the flow of information within the industry and focusing your efforts toward trusted industry allies.
Promoting a fruit and vegetable harvesting business Sale
Profitable fruit and vegetable harvesting business sales incorporate comprehensive advertising plans. But if you think advertising your fruit and vegetable harvesting business will be the same as running a product promotion, think again. Multiple factors complicate business-for-sale advertising, not the least of which is the fact that you don't want your competition to know that your company is on the market. The knowledge that your business is being sold almost always converts into negative PR with your customers and vendors. There are multiple ways to promote a fruit and vegetable harvesting business sale, many of which require the assistance of a professional business broker.
