To show you what we can do, here are the typical steps involved when you sell your business with the assistance of a broker:

Define Sale Parameters
Collaborate with your business broker to identify what components of your business are up for sale, including physical assets, intellectual property, company name and any real estate holdings.

Business Preparation
Work with your broker to gather and organise all critical business documentation, ensuring everything is current. This includes financial records, legal documents, operational manuals and forecasting reports. An organised presentation makes the business more appealing to buyers.

Business Valuation
Your broker will help you assess the value of your business using various valuation methods, such as market comparisons, return on investment (ROI) calculations and asset evaluations. This step ensures you set a competitive and realistic price.

Information Memorandum Creation
With your broker’s guidance, prepare a detailed information memorandum. This document provides potential buyers with a comprehensive overview of your business, facilitating their due diligence process.

Managing Buyer Enquiries
The broker will handle enquiries from prospective buyers, providing necessary information while maintaining confidentiality. This step helps to attract serious buyers and protect your business’s sensitive information.

Negotiating Offers
When offers come in, your broker will assist in reviewing and negotiating the terms to ensure you get the best deal. They will help balance the offer structure with your future plans, considering factors like payment terms and any required seller financing.

Supporting Due Diligence
After accepting an offer, the broker will support the buyer’s due diligence process. This includes verifying financials, legal agreements and other pertinent details to ensure a smooth transition.

Finalising the Sale
Your broker will facilitate the exchange of contracts and the settlement process. They will help manage the transfer of payments and ensure all legal and operational details are addressed, ensuring a seamless handover of the business to the new owner.

I have used Better Business twice now...... Once to sell and once to buy a business. I have found them to be professional and approachable in every way.Selling was a lot better of an experience than I ever thought. They had a lot of resources at hand to help me sell my bike shop, especially compared to other business brokerages. I got a lot of interest very quickly and sold the business a lot sooner than previously anticipated. For almost listing price too!! The buyer was also most impressed by their service to both parties!The assistance they provided me with was invaluable. Advice was gentle but persuasive, and their knowledge of businesses is extensive.When it comes to buying or selling, I would not contact any other company but this one! They are very reliable and generous with their busy time.My first experience at selling a business was not at all like this.The best part was whenever I had to phone the office, they were so easy to talk to and so positive, in fact I always felt as if I was talking to a friend.5 star brokerage for sure!
