If you plan on selling your photo imaging business quickly, prepare to be disappointed.
But they're also savvy enough to know a good deal when they see it. To sell your photo imaging business, you'll need to go the extra mile to prove your company has the potential to deliver steady revenue and a solid ROI.
Closing Strategies
Today's photo imaging business buyers expect sellers to offer concessions to persuade them to close the deal. Concessions can consist of non-cash as well as cash incentives. When you've reached your limit on price, consider offering non-cash concessions to encourage a commitment from the buyer. If you aren't familiar with typical photo imaging business concessions, consult with a professional to learn how you can build incentives into your deal.
Working with Appraisers
An experienced appraiser is part and parcel of a successful photo imaging business sale. Leading industry appraisers equip sellers with a value gauge that can be accessed during negotiations. If you're disappointed with the appraiser's estimate of your company's worth, you have the option of seeking a second opinion. However, it's more often the case that you will need to adjust your expectations of your business's value to buyers.
How to Identify Prospective Buyers
Many sellers don't realize how many prospective buyers there are for their businesses. We frequently see qualified buyers emerge from the seller's network of business and personal acquaintances. In other cases, sellers take a proactive approach to finding likely buyers and contacting them directly. If you aren't generating interest in the general marketplace, consider approaching companies that sell complementary products or are closely situated in your supply chain.
