I Want To Sell My Business. Now What?

After dedicating your life to your business, it's time to start thinking about retirement and planning an exit strategy. If you want to play a minor role in the business, pass it on to a family member, or sell it directly to an investor, this is not a process that should be easy. Putting up a business for sale can be a daunting task and an emotional journey. Therefore, the first thing you want to do is work with a team of M&A consultants who will understand your goals and needs and show empathy throughout the whole process.

Finally, you have two high-level goals to sell your business: streamline the process and achieve the highest possible value. There are many steps to accomplish these two goals, and in H&S Business Broker, we have perfected this process in both art and science. This includes selling at the right time; therefore, getting started as early as possible can be crucial to your results.

Our M&A consultants will learn everything there is to know about your business (it's very likely that we already know your industry very well). This includes third-party surveys that analyze your company's reputation in the public arena and how to resolve any doubts.

Another important task that our H&S specialists will complete is due diligence for buyers. They want to know a lot about your business. Buyers also expect to see reliable records of financial, legal, and contractual elements. Our team is there to help you gather the right documentation, and we can even create a virtual data room to ensure the safety of all essential documents and conveniently. This includes ensuring the protection of intellectual property, such as trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and the like.

We will coordinate all appointments and discussions between you and a buyer, while we also protect the confidentiality of the negotiation procedure. When a buyer makes an offer to your business, we will honestly present it if we believe the proposal has been evaluated correctly. We are dedicated to ensuring you receive everything you deserve.

When you decide to continue with an offer, the dedicated team of the company always takes care of all negotiations by following your instructions, including a clear sales structure so that all stakeholders know their roles to promote the business transition process. We manage all contracts with full compliance and appropriate documentation. Not a single piece of paper or communication will reach the buyer without first seeing it. You can also expect regular contact anytime until the end of the purchase.

Selling a business is a complex endeavor and must be managed with the experience to get the right results. Having the right and experienced M&A team in place can make a difference in the success of your business transition while you make your exit.
