Exit Planning Tips
Selling a Hearing and Speech Rehabilitation Business
Is the economy still a little shaky for a business sale? Sure it is. Yet hearing and speech rehabilitation businesses haven't heard the news and are reporting steady action on the business-for-sale market.
With planning and patience, most hearing and speech rehabilitation businesses can be sold for a fair price in the current business-for-sale marketplace.
You'll always have an excuse for not putting your business on the market. Selling a hearing and speech rehabilitation business isn't easy, but we believe sellers can achieve their goals in any economic environment.
Maximizing Sales Price
If you haven't sold a business before, may be surprised by the time investment that is required to sell a hearing and speech rehabilitation business. Fortunately, a business broker can minimize the impact on your bank account and personal well-being. If you try to sell your business without a broker, your time will be consumed by the details of the sale. Subsequently, you'll be distracted from the demands of your auto supply store, business will suffer, and the sale price you receive for your company will be dramatically reduced. Time after time, sellers who hire qualified brokers are more satisfied with the sales process - and the price they receive for their hearing and speech rehabilitation businesses.
Sale Preparations for Your Hearing & Speech Rehabilitation Business
Like it or not, a good business sale takes time. Profitable hearing and speech rehabilitation business sales begin with a comprehensive strategy that incorporates planning, preparation and market positioning. Even though it may take years to adequately position your hearing and speech rehabilitation business, the amount of preparation you perform will have direct correlation on asking and sale prices. It is especially helpful if your financial reports can demonstrate a multiyear growth trend for potential buyers.
Selling a Hearing & Speech Rehabilitation Business to an Employee
Although it may seem easier to sell your hearing and speech rehabilitation business to an employee, this approach also has some pitfalls. There are some perks to selling the business in-house. Since the worker already knows the ins and outs of the business, due diligence should be a breeze, not to mention the fact that you won't have to wait months or years for the right buyer to emerge on the open marketplace. Yet most employees lack the means to buy their employer's business at or near the asking price. Seller financing is one way to get around the capital deficit of an employee-based hearing and speech rehabilitation business sale, as long as you are willing to vet the employee's credit worthiness the same as any other buyer.
