Thinking of Selling Your Business?

When is the best time to sell my business?

The best time to sell is when a business is doing well. It is best not to wait until after a business has peaked; the selling price can suffer.

However, almost any business can be sold, even if it is not doing well, if the sale is handled professionally and priced correctly.

I am planning to sell my business in the next two years. What steps should I be taking now to assure a smooth (and profitable) transition?

Business buyers always confirm the financial standing of a business during due diligence.

Are you ready to Buy a Business?

In most cases, our recommendation is that you buy an established business, as 57% of “new” businesses fail within the first 3 years.

While an established business has a built-in market base with recurring revenues, proven products or services, and tested locations. Most of the time, an established business can be successfully transferred through adequate training and a planned introduction to employees, existing customers, and vendors.

And often, new owners take their recently acquired business to the next level by injecting fresh ideas, better management, and a renewed energy and passion.

V is Valued Representation

The entrepreneurial boom has changed the face of business worldwide. The thousands of companies that make up the middle market are critically important to economic activity and job creation.

Inside this spectrum, one can observe entrepreneurial behavior, ranging from product development and manufacturing to leveraging technology to market expansion. This lifeblood is the driver behind the growth of mid-sized companies.

Where is the next mid-market company that is developing a technology that will not just capture a market but create one? Where is the organization that has improved its operations, increased its profitability, grown its workforce, and now needs options to advance past its competitors?

Looking for Businesses in Your Location?

Our advanced business-for-sale search feature allows you to search by industry type, business size ranges, revenue ranges, and earnings ranges, as well as by state or county.

To find the businesses for sale you are interested in, it is best to start with a broad search and then narrow it down. You can pick very specific industries or select the all category (e.g., manufacturing) to search all the businesses for sale in a particular category.

Listing with an Out-of-State Business Broker

Because the Phoenix metro area is a hot market, a lot of out-of-state business brokers advertise here to try to get listings. There are two problems with this. One, to get the best service possible, you need to hire a local business broker who knows the local market and can be available for face-to-face meetings with potential buyers. Two, to legally sell a business in Arizona, a business broker is required to have an Arizona real estate license. A lot of out-of-state business brokers are not licensed in Arizona and are therefore breaking the law. How ethical do you think these business brokers will be when dealing with you if they won’t even follow the law?
