Selling a Signs Wholesale and Manufacturers Business

No one said selling your business in a depressed economy would be easy. Fortunately, a signs wholesale and manufacturers business sale isn't as scary as it seems.

Business sellers are notorious for second-guessing themselves about the right time to put their companies up for sale.

At Gaebler, we think that's a mistake because with adequate preparation and the right sale strategy, this might be the best time to put your signs wholesale and manufacturers business on the market.

Sale Documents

In a signs wholesale and manufacturers business sale, the Letter of Intent contains the vital elements of the deal between the buyer and the seller . By the time the deal reaches the final contract, many of its features are set in stone. Never sign a Letter of Intent until it has been properly reviewed by your attorney and you are in complete agreement with everything it contains.

Family Issues

You're ready to sell your signs wholesale and manufacturers business, but is your family prepared for the transition? Unfortunately, families often experience turmoil during a sale even when the primary owner is convinced it's the right decision. The sale of the business will likely result in new family dynamics. Subsequently, selling a signs wholesale and manufacturers business has to include ample communication and shared decision-making.

Equipment and Inventory Concerns

It's incumbent on buyers to commission their own appraisal of your signs wholesale and manufacturers business's physical assets. Your appraisal should occur before you put your business on the market. A professional appraisal is a necessity because it gives you the information you need to negotiate a sale price. When you conduct your appraisal of your assets, note their condition and include it in the information packet you prepare for prospective buyers.
