We look forward to working
with you in finding a suitable buyer for
your business. You, as the seller, are an
integral part of the total marketing
program. We would like to offer a few
friendly recommendations that will help in
our marketing efforts. We have checked those
items that we think will be especially
applicable to your type of business.
It might also be helpful if
you took a good look at your business from
the perspective of a buyer. Try to put
yourself in the place of a prospective
purchaser of the business. What would you do
to make it more attractive or more saleable?
Obviously, the financial records of your
business are critical to the sale of your
business, but how it looks is also
important. First impressions really count!
If a potential buyer doesn't like the
appearance of your business, the rest of it
may never get a chance. If you have any
questions, please don't hesitate to call us.
It's only by working together that we'll get
the best results.
You might want to check the following
to see if any of them are applicable.
Keep normal
operating hours.
There may be a tendency to "let down" when
you put your business up for sale.
However, it's important that prospective
buyers see your business at its best.
Repair signs,
replace outside lights, etc.
You don't want your business to look as if
it has been neglected.
Maintain
inventory at a constant level.
If you let your inventory slide, your
business will look neglected.
If anything, increase it so your business
will look busy.
Remove items
that are not included in the sale
and unnecessary items, especially if
inoperative.
Repair
non-operating equipment or remove it if you
are not using it.
Tidy-up
outside premises.
Spruce-up the
inside of the business. |
