Exit Planning Techniques By Market
Selling a Fashion Houses Business
No one said selling your business in a depressed economy would be easy. Fortunately, a fashion houses business sale isn't as scary as it seems.
Selling a fashion houses business? You'll need to be prepared to address a variety of challenges that are common in the business-for-sale marketplace.
If you're ready to move on, now is the right time to sell your fashion houses business.
The Best Person to Sell Your Fashion Houses Business
An unassisted business sale is a double-edged sword. Few people know your business as well as you do. The problem is that your passion for your business can also sabotage your sale. Nearly all sellers have an inflated sense of their company's value. At a minimum, conduct an independent appraisal of the fashion houses business to gain an objective sense of fair market value.
Equipment and Inventory Concerns
It's incumbent on buyers to commission their own appraisal of your fashion houses business's inventory, equipment, and physical assets. But you'll need to commission your own appraisal before you put your fashion houses business on the market to arm yourself with information for the negotiation phase. Without an accurate assessment of asset values it's impossible to intelligently negotiate on price. When you conduct your appraisal of your assets, note their condition and include it in the information packet you prepare for prospective buyers.
Before You Sell
The pre-sale checklist for a fashion houses business is long and is full of critical tasks that will likely determine the success (or failure) of your sale. Perhaps the most important pre-sale consideration is to right-size your expectations to the realities of the market. Once your expectations are in the ballpark, you can move on to making your business presentable to prospective buyers.
