Selling a Business, and how to sell a business
Selling a business can be both demanding and liberating. To ensure your best outcome with minimum hassle when you sell a business it pays to have a business exit strategy and plan your sale process.
Once you have decided on selling your business, there are a number of steps that can help you realise your goal. Consider who your most likely buyer may be, your businesses value, and how best to manage the marketing process so you get to maximise your exposure when casting your net for business buyers. You need to tell buyers you're selling a business - promote your opportunity widely through business for sale websites, print, and direct mail - after all, you want the best prospects for a successful sale. Manage this process, as selling your business will be one of the most important things you'll do.

Finding the right buyer and negotiating the sale takes skill. At the same time, you still have a business to run. Use specialists like your accountant, a lawyer and possibly a business broker if you are time poor or lack the skills in this area to help manage the sale process and keep the negotiations on track.
In preparing your business for sale:
• Be clear why you are selling
• Buyers want cash flow
• Appearances count
• Everything has a value
• Eliminate any surprises
