Six Tips to Prepare Your Business for Sale

 1. Build a strategy to sell your business

The first step in preparing a business for sale is a well-thought-out strategy. Your team will move forward with clear plans that deliver critical results: 

● Identify your priorities
● Choose measurable outcomes 
● Develop clear guidelines for everyone to follow
● Identify business goals 

With a strategy in place, your team knows what to do.

● Develop an ideal buyer profile
● Complete a study to identify internal strengths and weaknesses, as well as external opportunities and threats
● Develop a marketing plan with a clear positioning statement
● Establish clear revenue potential and profit margins
● Develop an action plan

The importance of a sales strategy cannot be understated. If it seems like an overwhelming task, do not be tempted to minimize its significance. Instead, turn to professionals who streamline the process into actionable steps and help to accomplish tasks along the way.  

First Choice Business Brokers - Las Vegas - has proven strategies to achieve your critical results. 

2. Review and update human resources policies and contracts.

Every business owner worries about their employees during a business sale. Due diligence of human resources policies and contracts is essential during sales preparation, minimizing your worries and improving employee relationships. Owners can move into sale negotiations confident about the human resources department. A responsible buyer recognizes staffing stability as a benefit to their acquisition of your company. 

3. Remove unnecessary expenses.

You can review and reduce non-essential expenses that eat into profit margins to ensure buyers see potential in your business's profit margins. 
Do this for a year or two before listing to sell, and your efforts will factor into the valuation.

4. Audit records accurately.

An audit is powerful and will flush out internal mismanagement during sales preparation. You want issues resolved before the business hits the market. A detailed audit grants instant credibility, as the buyer sees the benefit of reduced risk and moves forward in the negotiations.  

Your business broker can streamline the audit process and organize its presentation during negotiations. Key performance indicators that gauge overall performance attract a suitable buyer during negotiations. 

There are three categories of audits:

● Operational
● Financial
● Compliance

Some view audits as a pain that, not worth the hassle. What do you think? 
If you have a business in Las Vegas, visit our First Choice Business Brokers office for a robust discussion about whether or not your business will benefit from an audit. 

5. Review your financials with an accountant 

A business with clean financial records improves its valuation and attracts suitable buyers. Companies with an accounting team on staff may depend on the strength of their reporting to speak for itself when a buyer begins due diligence. 
First Choice Business Brokers have access to professional accountants for advice in financial matters. 

6. Create a plan for future growth.

Buyers will study your business metrics and look for growth potential. While you prepare your business for sale, an objective eye will help create a growth plan. 

Sharing your business plans for future growth is an attractive feature to a well-qualified prospective buyer.
