Exit Planning Advice By Market

Selling an Auto Mufflers Business

No one said selling your business in a depressed economy would be easy. Fortunately, a auto mufflers business sale isn't as scary as it seems.

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

If you're ready to move on, now is the right time to sell your auto mufflers business.

Factoring In Economic Variables

When you sell an auto mufflers business, there are a number of variables you need to consider. Interest rates, spending, inflation, and other variables directly influence how long your auto mufflers business will be on the market as well as its sales price. But at Gaebler, we advise our business partners to look beyond simple economic data when determining whether it's the right time to sell an auto mufflers business. A much better approach is to focus on the factors that always attract buyers and investors. When it comes to selling an auto mufflers business, successful sales sales often boil down to the business itself - not the economy.

Legal Concerns

In an auto mufflers business sale, the Letter of Intent contains the vital elements of the deal between the buyer and the seller . If you are seeking buyer concessions, the time to address them is before the Letter of Intent is drafted. For sellers, that makes a close review of the Letter of Intent more than a formality - it's a critical juncture on the path to closing.

Team-Based Negotiation Strategies

It's not unusual for auto mufflers business sellers to feel overwhelmed when they negotiate the sale of their business. Negotiation is a chess game, best played with the resources and backend support of a negotiation team. Good negotiation teams support sellers, giving them insight and advice about how to overcome buyer objections and drive the process forward to a successful conclusion.
