Learn What You Need to Know to Sell Your Business at a Good Price
and Keep It Sold!

So you’re thinking about selling your business! You can put it on the market with a business broker and hope for the best …or… you can invest a little time and effort into learning how to get your business ready to sell for the most money and how to make sure it stays sold. The fact that you are reading this tells me that you are a smart business person who wants to make sure their business sale process goes smoothly and successfully. You've come to the right place.

There are hundreds of businesses successfully sold every day but there are even more deals that fall apart before the closing after months of negotiations. And worse yet, there are business sales that go sour after the closing because the newly acquired business fails and the business seller is usually left holding the bag with a ruined business and unpaid purchase money.

Did you know that it’s reliably estimated that at least 80% of all small business sales involve some level of financing by the seller? This is because buyers frequently (almost never) have the full cash price for a business and are unable to get bank financing for other than a portion of the physical assets of the business. So it’s likely you’ll be financing your business sale, especially if the sale price involves a significant amount of goodwill value (which includes most successful small businesses).

How then to successfully sell the business you’ve worked so hard to build, for a good price, and make sure it stays sold? The answer starts with you learning as much as you can about the business purchase, sale and valuation process. Not so much so that you can completely do-it-yourself, but enough to know how the process should operate, how much your business may be worth on the open-market, how to select a qualified business broker (and other professionals) and how to avoid the biggest pitfalls in the overall business sale process.

To help you to successfully sell a business, we’ve assembled a specialpackage of information that’s easy to use, covers all of the above points (and more) and doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. This Business Purchase and Sale Kit has all of the critical information you need AND the easiest to use business valuation software program (BizPricer) you can find.

This Business Seller's Purchase and Sale Kit includes:

Our most popular book, Strategies for Successfully Selling a Business.

Our classic book, Preparing Your Business for Sale (For the Most Money!). A unique book that shows business owners how to prepare their business to sell for the most money.

We even include with this Kit on-screen fill-in-the-blanks Business Purchase and Sale Forms! Whether you're a business broker, consultant, or business seller or buyer "doing it yourself", you can use these forms with your accountant, attorney, and broker to potentially save thousands of dollars in professional fees and speed up the transaction process significantly! The more work you do yourself with these forms, and the less work the expensive professionals do for you, could save you a great deal of money. These forms are interactive and customizable (you just fill-in-the-blanks) and/or you can add headings and add or delete text. You can even insert your own business logo if you wish.
