But the hard work isn't done yet. Before you can make a graceful exit, you will have to invest yourself in your business sale.
Business-for-sale markets are less dependent on economic conditions than most sellers think they are.

Seller Concessions
It's becoming more difficult to sell a siding materials wholesale and manufacturers business without considering seller concessions. The most common seller concession is seller financing. Capital is scarce, causing new entrepreneurs to rely on sellers to finance at least part of the purchase price. Other common seller concessions include staying on the mentor the new owner, non-compete clauses, and working as a consultant to mitigate the impact of new ownership.
Legal Concerns
In a siding materials wholesale and manufacturers business sale, the Letter of Intent contains the vital elements of the deal between the buyer and the seller . If you are seeking buyer concessions, the time to address them is before the Letter of Intent is drafted. For sellers, that makes a close review of the Letter of Intent more than a formality - it's a critical juncture on the path to closing.
Dealing with Your Emotions
Coping with the emotions of a business sale can be difficult, even under the best of circumstances. You probably have good reasons for selling your siding materials wholesale and manufacturers business now, but that doesn't make the emotions you will experience any easier. We advise sellers to discuss their feelings with family members and close friends before, during and after the sale. At the same time, it's helpful to consult with people who can help limit the influence of your emotions on negotiations and other aspects of the sale process.
