Introduction to Business Sales

Selling your business is a one off event and planning for it doesn't start with the transaction. It starts in planning for an exit to ensure the business is in the best position to sell at the greatest value and that tax is minimised.

Creating value isn't just about maximising profits, there are a whole range of other factors involved in a successful sale. It may be that only some shareholders want to sell.

There is a complex series of choices to make in the sales process and important steps to minimize the costs, time, risks and business disruption that a sales process can cause. In the worst case, a badly handled sales process can seriously damage the value of your business, lead to uncertainty among employees, customers, suppliers and management disruption , professional costs with the business unsold.

Fortunately, your advisers can steer you through this process to minimize the risks and maximise the value achieved.

Take the Opportunity

If you are a manager responsible for disposing of a part of your business or an Owner Manager looking to sell your business now or in the future take the following steps:

Go and see an adviser.  They will usual meet you at no charge to discuss your options, whether a sale is achievable, the key issues, how to find a buyer and the steps to take.
Do some background reading to understand the basics so the meeting can be more about your specific issues.

Search for an adviser by clicking the quick links above. Refine your search to select advisers in your region who advise on your transaction size. Use the key word function to select an adviser with specific experience i.e. if you are in printing type "print" in the keyword search.
