While each business is different, but the basic principles are the same and there are procedures you can follow to determine the best deal. The better organized you are, the more likely you will be to get the best profit.

    It’s best to have your business prepared for sale at least a year to two months before the actual sale occurs. This will enable you to arrange your affairs and get the best price that you can. Selling your business to maximize value will be contingent upon several aspects, including the expertise of the broker you’ve hired and the timing that the deal is being conducted, as well as the reason for selling.

If your company has had huge success, you’re planning to move into a new business, you’ve decided that you want to quit, or any other life events are pushing you to move forward, selling your business requires considerable planning, research and patience.

    Below are some steps to be followed when beginning this exciting journey, along with the most frequently-asked questions that business owners ask about the sale.
