Business Exits By Industry

Selling a Church of Jesus Christ

Despite the pessimistic mood of many sellers, your Church Of Jesus Christ church can be a high value acquisition target for ambitious entrepreneurs -- even in today's tough economy.

We hear it all the time: "I'm waiting until the economy recovers to list my business."

If you're ready to move on, now is the right time to sell your Church Of Jesus Christ church.

Closing Strategies

Today's Church Of Jesus Christ church buyers expect sellers to offer concessions to persuade them to close the deal. Although a lower asking price is the ultimate seller concession, a price reduction isn't the only way to attract serious buyers. When you've reached your limit on price, consider offering non-cash concessions to encourage a commitment from the buyer. In the current economy, seller financing is becoming common in Church Of Jesus Christ church sales. If the prospect is inexperienced or lacks credentials in the industry, you can also offer to stay with the business for a specified period of time to help the new owner get on his feet and introduce him to your network of industry contacts.

Current Market Conditions

At first glance, today's market would seem to be a hostile place for Church Of Jesus Christ church sellers. So far, government intervention and promises that the economy is slowly recovering haven't been enough to alleviate many entrepreneur's fears. However, many business sellers don't realize that a full economic rebound can have devastating consequences, particularly if sellers who have waited to list their businesses suddenly create a glut in the business-for-sale marketplace. Like it or not, the time to sell your Church Of Jesus Christ church may be right now, as long as your willing to adequately prepare your business for the marketplace.

How to Choose a Business Broker

Good business brokers inevitably produce better business sales. In the Church Of Jesus Christ church industry, experience is a must-have characteristic for qualified brokerage. As a practical matter, you'll also want to focus your search on brokers who have pre-existing relationships with attorneys, appraisers, and other professionals who can provide assistance at various stages of the process.
