Selling a Computer Graphics Equipment and Supplies Business

You've heard the naysayers - now isn't the time to sell a computer graphics equipment and supplies business. But what they don't know is that many entrepreneurs see computer graphics equipment and supplies businesses as a smart business investment.

Business-for-sale markets are less dependent on economic conditions than most sellers think they are.

At Gaebler, we think waiting for the economy to rebound is a mistake for many business owners. With hard work and dedication, your computer graphics equipment and supplies business can be sold at or above fair market value right now.

Factoring In Economic Variables

When you sell a computer graphics equipment and supplies business, there are a number of variables you need to consider. Interest rates, spending, inflation, and other variables directly influence how long your computer graphics equipment and supplies business will be on the market as well as its sales price. The truth is that perfect market conditions may never materialize. A much better approach is to focus on the factors that always attract buyers and investors. In our experience, the most important factors in the sale of a computer graphics equipment and supplies business have little to do with the economy.

Working with Accountants

Accountants come into play at several stages of the sale process. From a seller perspective, an accountant can offer personal financial assistance, especially when it comes to handling the disposition of sale proceeds. A professional audit can ease buyer concerns and amp up the value of your financial presentation. With seller financing becoming common, professional accountants are playing a more central role in negotiations and buyer qualification.

Identifying Serious Buyers

Unfortunately, many of the prospects you will encounter aren't serious buyers. Even though tire kickers are a fact of life in any sale scenario, they sap valuable time and energy that could be spent identifying more serious prospects. Your business broker can offer insights about how to quickly spot tire kickers. Never provide detailed information about your computer graphics equipment and supplies business until the prospect has been qualified as a serious buyer.
