Selling a Shelving Wholesale and Manufacturers Business
Many business leaders say that now isn't the time to try to sell a shelving wholesale and manufacturers business. At Gaebler, we think it's a great time to sell a shelving wholesale and manufacturers business. Here's why . . ..
An assortment of hurdles and obstacles stand between you and the successful sale of your shelving wholesale and manufacturers business.
Undaunted by economic conditions, many shelving wholesale and manufacturers business sellers are achieving their sale goals through deliberate sale strategies.
Equipment and Inventory Concerns
It's incumbent on buyers to commission their own appraisal of your shelving wholesale and manufacturers business's physical assets. Most sellers, however, conduct a pre-sale appraisal to gain an accurate gauge of asset value prior to negotiations. A professional appraisal is a necessity because it gives you the information you need to negotiate a sale price. A pre-listing appraisal also gives you the opportunity to document the condition of your shelving wholesale and manufacturers business's assets and possible even make repairs or upgrades to increase the total value of the operation.
Preparing for What's Next
The decision to sell your shelving wholesale and manufacturers business can't be made without adequate consideration of what will happen after the sale. many sellers find themselves ill-equipped to handle life after their business and fail to understand that their future plans can influence the sale process. We frequently encounter business sellers who haven't thought enough about their futures to know whether certain concessions (e.g seller financing) are a real possibility. As a result, they make bad decisions during the sale and experience less-than-optimal outcomes.
Broker vs. No Broker
Anyone who has ever sold a shelving wholesale and manufacturers business has eventually needed to decide whether to use a business broker or go it alone. Although brokerage fees can be substantial, the right broker can reduce the amount of time your shelving wholesale and manufacturers business sits on the market. You can also expect to receive a higher sales price for your business in a broker-assisted deal.
