Sell a Business Tips

Selling a Sisal Business

Forget about what you read in the paper -- sisal businesses are being sold everyday and the business-for-sale market is poised for even greater growth in the months ahead.

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

Undaunted by economic conditions, many sisal business sellers are achieving their sale goals through deliberate sale strategies.

Leveraging Industry Connections

Today's sisal business buyers can be found in a variety of locations. To advertise your sale to the widest possible audience, consider a listing on BizBuySell.com or other top online business-for-sale listing sites. More focused prospects are typically found within industry networks. The downside of industry networks is that it leaves your company vulnerable to exploitation by competitors. Use good sense in restricting the flow of information within the industry and focusing your efforts toward trusted industry allies.

When Is the Right Time to Sell?

When is it the right time to sell your sisal business? If you're asking the question, now may be the time to put your business on the market. Some experts are telling sisal business owners to wait for a better economy to put their business on the market. At Gaebler, we have a much more optimistic view of your chances in the sisal business-for-sale market. With fewer sisal businesses on the market, there are ample opportunities for sellers to capture the attention of qualified buyers.

Negotiation Teams

Business sellers are sometimes surprised to find themselves in the position of negotiator-in-chief. When you sell your sisal business, your business brokers may or may not be willing to conduct negotiations for you. Negotiation is a chess game, best played with the resources and backend support of a negotiation team. Good negotiation teams support sellers, giving them insight and advice about how to overcome buyer objections and drive the process forward to a successful conclusion.
