Buyers are Ready to Buy NOW

Our buyers all have 3 things in common: 1 – They know what they want. 2 – They have money to buy a business. 3 – They come to us for help finding them a business. 

Z

You Must Sell While Profitable

Business buyers want stable earnings and growth. These buyers typically prioritize the assessment of cash flow generated by your business. Therefore, it is advisable to maintain readily available data showcasing profitability to effectively engage with the buyers. This timeframe significantly influences the sales price of your company. It’s advisable not to wait to sell when profits are declining, or when you’re feeling burnt out or have lost passion for the business.

Z

Sell While You Are Young

Optimizing the sale of your business at a younger age can significantly enhance its value. Delaying this transition until retirement age may diminish your willingness to participate in the transition process, potentially lowering the appeal to prospective buyers. Engaging actively in the succession process adds tangible value to your business, as buyers highly appreciate and are willing to invest in your guidance and support during the transition phase.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How are you different from a business broker?

Bizsale.com is an advertising company and not real estate agents, salesmen, or brokers. This means we don’t charge a commission on your sales price. Our fees are fixed in advance.  We don’t hide buyers from you but rather actively involve you in the sales process.

How do I determine the value of my business?

A realistic business valuation requires more than merely looking at last year’s financial statement. You need to perform a thorough analysis of several years of the business operation. Then you must assess the future outlook of the industry, the economy, and how your company will compete.

Why you must have a business valuation

Where can I find a buyer for my business?

There are a few ways to find a buyer for your business, including through online FSBO business listing marketplaces, business brokers , M&A advisors, investment bankers, and the hybrid model.

Business acquisitions are on the rise, as there are currently 15 potential buyers for every business listed for sale. Working with a business marketing company like ABC can help you secure the best terms and prices for your business. We have a vast database of potential buyers and we don’t charge the high commissions of business brokers.
