Selling an Adhesive and Glues Wholesale and Manufacturers Business

At first glance, an unstable economy would seem to be an unfriendly atmosphere for an adhesive and glues wholesale and manufacturers business sale. At Gaebler, we think it's a great time to sell an adhesive and glues wholesale and manufacturers business. Here's why . . ..

Like it or not, an adhesive and glues wholesale and manufacturers business sale is a complicated affair, made even more difficult by the emotions associated with leaving a business you've poured your life into. But have you considered how your customers, vendors and employees will handle the sale?

They require careful planning and an intentional strategy that emphasizes your adhesive and glues wholesale and manufacturers business's strengths and meets the needs of the marketplace. As a business seller, you need to go into the process with the mental goal of presenting your business in the best possible light.

Preparing Your Adhesive & Glues Wholesale & Manufacturers Business for Sale

The outcome of a business sale is largely determined prior to a market listing. Profitable adhesive and glues wholesale and manufacturers business listings are the culmination of a preparation process that began months or even years ahead of time. Everything you do to increase market share and profitability has a payoff in the final sale price of your adhesive and glues wholesale and manufacturers business. 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.

Why Confidentiality Matters

Confidentiality determines risk in the business-for-sale marketplace. A low-key selling strategy is a low risk activity because you can control who does (and doesn't) know that your business is on the market. Eventually, word will leak out. When that happens, it can damage your standing with customers and vendors. Although it can be difficult, it's important to strike a balance between confidentiality and sale promotion. Brokers and consultants can mitigate the risk by implementing confidential sale techniques.

How Much Does It Cost to Sell an adhesive and glues wholesale and manufacturers business?

In an adhesive and glues wholesale and manufacturers business sale, pricing is based on a number of factors, including the costs incurred during the sale. Good brokerage takes a 10% success fee off the top of the final sale price. Attorneys, accountants and appraisers work for a flat fee that can range from hundreds to thousands of dollars. Furthermore, your time has value, so you may need to include a personal compensation consideration in your expense estimates.
