How to Work with Business Brokers

Brokerage is a mainstay of the business-for-sale marketplace. Brokerage is particularly common in the fire adjusters business-for-sale market, where aggressive selling strategies are the norm. However, your broker will still expect you to materially participate in the sale of your business. Successfully brokered sales are based on solid relationships between brokers and sellers as well as the strict execution of a common selling strategy.

Family Issues

You're ready to sell your fire adjusters business, but is your family prepared for the transition? Whether you realize it or not, your fire adjusters business has been an important part of your family life. As a seller, you need to be sensitive to your family's feelings about the sale and make an effort to keep them informed about the process. To keep the family intact, the sale of a fire adjusters business has to include ample communication and shared decision-making.

Negotiating Your Sale

As a business seller, you have to be at the top of your negotiating game. In a fire adjusters business sale, knowledge is power -- the more you know about your business and prospective buyers, the easier it is to sway negotiations in your favor. But before you can negotiate effectively, you need to have a clear sense of your minimum sale requirements. If you lack clarity about your goals, you're guaranteed to fall short of achieving of them. If you aren't sure what you need, put negotiations on hold until you gain a clearer understanding of your own deal parameters.
