There are many things you can do before you put your business on the market to make the selling process easier and help you maximize the value you gain from selling. Before you sell, consider this:

Be Realistic – SellFranchise.com will help you set a realistic price and time frame for the sale of your business. Remember, savvy qualified buyers will only consider businesses that are competitively priced.

Get Your Books In Order – Having well-kept, verifiable records of sales, expenses and profits for the business's past performance is something every buyer will require.

List Your Assets – You’ll want to compile a list of all of your equipment, furniture, vehicles, inventory and any other assets the business may have.

Get Your Ship In Shape – You’ll want the physical plant of your business to look as good as it can before you sell. Cleaning, painting and repairing broken equipment will help you maximize your value.

Why Are You Selling? – Most buyers will want to know why you are selling your business and reach a level of comfort that there is no undisclosed information which can negatively impact the business at a future date.

Are You Ready To Make The Move? – When a qualified buyer is ready to make the move and buy your business, you must be prepared to move forward expeditiously. If you are not absolutely sure you are ready to sell, it’s probably not a good time to put your business on the market.
