Exit Planning Techniques By Market

Selling a Football Clubs and Instruction Business

The sale of your football clubs and instruction business is the culmination of this stage of your entrepreneurial journey. Although most business owners expect a storybook ending, it will take the careful application of sound selling principles to bring your sale to a successful conclusion.

Business buyers are a timid lot, even more so now that they are facing an uncertain economic landscape.

You'll always have an excuse for not putting your business on the market. Selling a football clubs and instruction business isn't easy, but we believe sellers can achieve their goals in any economic environment.

Finding Prospects

Many sellers don't realize how many prospective buyers there are for their businesses. Although some football clubs and instruction business sellers advertise their businesses in general classifieds, the most successful sales are those in which professional brokers seek out likely buyers. If you aren't generating interest in the general marketplace, consider approaching companies that sell complementary products or are closely situated in your supply chain.

Legal Considerations

It's obvious that you're going to need to hire an attorney to finalize the sale of your football clubs and instruction business. Competent legal counsel ensures that the sale documents are in proper order. Furthermore, a good lawyers provides the counsel necessary to navigate the tax and liability issues that surround a business sale. We recommend hiring an attorney early in the process to gain insights about the legal consequences of various sale outcomes.

Finding Football Clubs & Instruction Business Buyers

Qualified football clubs and instruction business buyers come from a range of sources and backgrounds. Avoid pigeon-holing your search to a single buyer category. Although it's helpful to target promotional tactics to likely buyers, allow for some exposure to the broader market. Sellers should also recognize the value of promoting their sale in trusted business networks, carefully balancing the need for confidentiality with the promotional potential of their contact base.
