Insights
Knowing how to sell a business is crucial for owners considering listing one on the market. It can provide a realistic understanding of what you can expect, your sale options and how long it might take.
We have spent years developing a bespoke process to ensure clients are satisfied when they use our services. While our teams can also create tailored sales plans to match your requirements, our methods remain largely the same to ensure success.
Our guide takes a closer look at how we operate, and we hope it builds your confidence to choose Eddisons Business Sales to handle a deal on your behalf.
Getting to know you and your business
The first step after you contact us is to learn about you and your business. We will try to uncover your motivations for selling and your firm’s unique selling points at this time.
Our team will also take a deep dive into your company, analysing every aspect to find out the size of the opportunity at hand.
Some of the most common questions you may be asked
- Why do you want to sell your business?
- What are your business’s unique selling points?
- What price are you hoping to sell your company for?
- Do you want the sale to be completed confidentially?
Valuing the firm
Before prospective buyers are found or the business is listed on the market, it must be valued by a RICS-certified professional. Figuring out how much a company is worth involves working out its trading potential and completing building and asset valuations.
Understanding how to value a business to sell is vital for existing owners because it allows them to set a realistic and attractive asking price, potentially facilitating a smoother sale process.
Marketing your company
We promise to only showcase your business in its best light, taking high-quality images and producing excellent marketing materials.
Your dedicated sales agent will let you decide if you want to market your enterprise confidentially or via more traditional methods. It is important to understand the nuances of these tactics to make a more informed decision.
Confidential business sales
Keep your sale private if you want to avoid alarming employees, suppliers, customers and competitors. Online marketing is minimal, and we will instead send adverts direct to our private buyer database.
We will withhold details of your firm until potential investors are vetted and sign a non-disclosure agreement to ensure there are no leaks.
Non-confidential business sales
Allow us to fully harness our marketing capabilities to maximise exposure to a wider range of prospects. From online listings to emails and social media posts, we cover all bases to increase your chances of a quicker sale and receiving a higher fee.
Completing the transaction
We will work tirelessly to drive the process forward and guide you seamlessly through the transaction. You can expect qualified buyer meetings, competitive negotiation, comprehensive due diligence and legal assistance throughout.
Fast sales, high sale prices and straightforward exits are some of the key factors our clients look for, and we pride ourselves on achieving these.
