Personal and professional concerns surround the sale of a ceramic studios, equipment, and supplies retail business. But have you considered how your customers, vendors and employees will handle the sale?
You'll always have an excuse for not putting your business on the market. Selling a ceramic studios, equipment, and supplies retail business isn't easy, but we believe sellers can achieve their goals in any economic environment.
Tips for Working with A Business Broker
Business brokers are professional business sellers. Brokers routinely work with ceramic studios, equipment, and supplies retail business owners to achieve desired outcomes and deliver a successful sale as quickly as possible. Brokerage doesn't replace the seller's requirement to be involved in the sale; it augments the seller's efforts and creates a more seamless sale process. To maximize your broker's potential, conduct periodic consultations throughout the process and deliver requested information as quickly as possible.
Timing the Market
Now may be the best time to sell a ceramic studios, equipment, and supplies retail business. With interest rates at all-time lows, it's easy to see why ceramic studios, equipment, and supplies retail businesses are an appealing investment opportunity for savvy investors. When the economy recovers there will be more ceramic studios, equipment, and supplies retail business buyers on the market, but higher interest rates could present challenges. At Gaebler, we recognize the value of timing the sale of your ceramic studios, equipment, and supplies retail business. But we think it's more important to properly position your business for current market conditions -- whatever they may be.
Leveraging Seller Concessions
Seller concessions are becoming more commonplace in business-for-sale transactions. By far, seller financing is the most sought-after concession, especially in the current economic environment. Capital is scarce, causing new entrepreneurs to rely on sellers to finance at least part of the purchase price. Other common seller concessions include staying on the mentor the new owner, non-compete clauses, and working as a consultant to mitigate the impact of new ownership.
