You'll always have an excuse for not putting your business on the market. Selling a tattoo and piercing equipment and supplies business isn't easy, but we believe sellers can achieve their goals in any economic environment.
Selecting a Broker
Good business brokers inevitably produce better business sales. In the tattoo and piercing equipment and supplies business industry, experience is a must-have characteristic for qualified brokerage. The best brokers should also come with a list of references, a demonstrable track record and a proven plan for selling tattoo and piercing equipment and supplies businesses.
Identifying Serious Buyers
Many prospective buyers will have a strong desire to acquire your tattoo and piercing equipment and supplies business. The bad news is that they will lack the financial capacity to close the deal. Selling a business is hard enough. You can't afford to waste time on prospects that have no chance of turning their interest into an actual purchase. If you aren't sure what to look for in a serious buyer, ask your broker for advice. Never provide detailed information about your tattoo and piercing equipment and supplies business until the prospect has been qualified as a serious buyer.
Preparing Your Tattoo & Piercing Equipment & Supplies Business for Sale
Like it or not, a good business sale takes time. Successful tattoo and piercing equipment and supplies business sales begin with a comprehensive strategy that incorporates planning, preparation and market positioning. Even though it may take years to adequately position your tattoo and piercing equipment and supplies business, the amount of preparation you perform will have direct correlation on asking and sale prices. But your efforts to improve your company's position and profitability will only be effective if you invest similar effort into the preparation of accurate financial statements for buyers.
