Business Exits By Industry

Selling a Chiropractic Clinics Business

Although a chiropractic clinics business may not be completely recession-proof, the best companies can survive nearly any storm. Now all you have to do is convince the right buyer that your business is built for long-term success.

Despite your best intentions, great business sales don't happen overnight.

More than a few chiropractic clinics business owners sell for a price that is well below market value. Smart sellers know the value of their companies are prepared to identify buyers who are willing to pay top dollar.

Advertising Your Sale

Successful chiropractic clinics business sales incorporate comprehensive advertising plans. However, confidentiality and other concerns can present challenges, even for sales professionals. If sale information leaks out, competitors can use it to steal customers and circulate negative messages about your business throughout the industry. Business brokers are skilled at publicizing chiropractic clinics business sales while maintaining the confidentiality that is critical to your business.

Tips for Seller Financing

Capital is hard to come by these days. Banks and other lending institutions aren't eager to lend to unproven and undercapitalized chiropractic clinics business buyers regardless of the business's potential. Rather than abandon their plans entirely, many buyers are pursuing finance concessions from sellers. As you prepare for the sale of your chiropractic clinics business, expect to be asked to finance a substantial part of the sale price.

Working with Appraisers

Next to your broker, a skilled appraiser is the person most capable of adding value to the price of your chiropractic clinics business. Leading industry appraisers equip sellers with a value gauge that can be accessed during negotiations. If you're disappointed with the appraiser's estimate of your company's worth, you have the option of seeking a second opinion. However, it's more often the case that you will need to adjust your expectations of your business's value to buyers.
