Business Exits By Industry
Selling a Chapels Business
We hear from a lot of business owners who are timid about listing their chapels business. Despite the mood of the market, we think there are still opportunities to receive a good price for your chapels business. Here's what you need to know . . .
It's a fact: Successful business sales take time.
Eventually, it will the time will come to exit your business. When that happens, your future plans will be dependent on your ability to receive the highest possible sale price for your chapels business.
Equipment and Inventory Concerns
It's incumbent on buyers to commission their own appraisal of your chapels business's real assets. Most sellers, however, conduct a pre-sale appraisal to gain an accurate gauge of asset value prior to negotiations. A professional appraisal is a necessity because it gives you the information you need to negotiate a sale price. When you conduct your appraisal of your assets, note their condition and include it in the information packet you prepare for prospective buyers.
When Is the Right Time to Sell?
When is it the right time to sell your chapels business? If you're asking the question, now may be the time to put your business on the market. Some experts are telling chapels business sellers to put their plans on hold until the economy fully rebounds. We aren't nearly as pessimistic about the chapels business marketplace. With fewer chapels businesses on the market, there are ample opportunities for sellers to capture the attention of qualified buyers.
Handling Unexpected Outcomes
Every business seller dreams of a fast sale and a fat payday. However, no one told the marketplace about your expectations. The outcome of your sale will be determined by market forces - not by your personal circumstances or desires. Despite your best efforts, you need to prepare yourself for the possibility of receiving less than you expected from the sale of your chapels business. If buyers don't seem to be willing to meet your expectations, consult with your broker to modify your strategy and market approach.
