Smart Exit Planning Strategies for Niche Markets
Selling a Group Practice Chiropractors Business
There are no guarantees when you sell a group practice chiropractors business. But our tips will equip you with the information you need to increase the likelihood of a successful sales outcome.
When the economy recovers, we expect to see a sudden influx of group practice chiropractors businesses in the business-for-sale marketplace. Although these companies have been for sale, their owners have resisted listing them until a better economy materializes.
The business-for-sale market is extremely dynamic. So if you're waiting for the perfect market conditions to sell your group practice chiropractors business, you could be waiting a while. If your business is ready to be sold, the time to sell is now. To improve sale outcomes, you will simply need to tailor your group practice chiropractors business to today's buyers.
What About Market Conditions?
No one plans to sell a group practice chiropractors business in a down economy. Entrepreneurs and investors still exhibit healthy skepticism, despite initial indication that recovery has begun. Despite the risks, sellers need to be cognizant of the fact that there is a large volume of group practice chiropractors businesses waiting to be listed until the economy rebounds. When that happens, the buyers' market will become even stronger and have a negative impact on prices. So what's our point? The economy isn't the most important factor in the sale of your business. Instead, you should be focusing on making your group practice chiropractors business as attractive as possible so to buyers right now.
Dealing with Tire Kickers
If you haven't sold a business before, prepare to be overwhelmed by tire kickers -- seemingly interested buyers who lack the capacity, ability or desire to actually purchase your group practice chiropractors business. As a seller, it's important to separate the tire kickers from the serious buyers as soon as possible. Each tire kicker is an investment of time and energy that could be poured into finding a more qualified prospect. Your business broker can offer insights about how to quickly spot tire kickers. Never provide detailed information about your group practice chiropractors business until the prospect has been qualified as a serious buyer.
Sale Costs
The calculation of your asking price should include a buffer to cover the expense of the sale process. Good brokerage takes a 10% success fee off the top of the final sale price. Depending on your circumstances, you may also incur substantial expenses in hiring legal, appraisal and accounting professionals. Furthermore, your time has value, so you may need to include a personal compensation consideration in your expense estimates.
