The outcome of a business sale is largely determined prior to a market listing. Profitable legal copying service listings are the culmination of a preparation process that began months or even years ahead of time. Even though it may take years to adequately position your legal copying service, the amount of preparation you perform will have direct correlation on asking and sale prices. Additionally, you'll need time to compile financials and other information that buyers will expect to receive.
Professional Appraisals
An experienced appraiser is part and parcel of a successful legal copying service sale. Leading industry appraisers equip sellers with a value gauge that can be accessed during negotiations. Even though you may disagree with the appraiser's value estimates, it's important to give your appraiser the information and independence he needs to present an objective opinion. To ensure accuracy, ask your broker to provide references for appraisers with industry experience.
