Optimizing Business Exits

Selling a Resistors Business

Economic uncertainty influences the timing of many resistors business sales. But based on what we're seeing in the business-for-sale marketplace, we don't think economic conditions should deter you from putting your resistors business on the market.

We hear it all the time: "I'm waiting until the economy recovers to list my business."

If your exit strategy involves selling a resistors business now, business sellers may need to apply a combination of incentives and techniques.

Factoring In Economic Variables

When you sell a resistors business, there are a number of variables you need to consider. Interest rates, spending, inflation, and other variables directly influence how long your resistors business will be on the market as well as its sales price. The truth is that perfect market conditions may never materialize. A much better approach is to focus on the factors that always attract buyers and investors. When it comes to selling a resistors business, successful sales sales often boil down to the business itself - not the economy.

Negotiation Exit Strategy

Negotiations have a way of dragging on forever. But sooner or later, someone needs to bring negotiations to a close. Unfortunately, that responsibility often falls on the seller. In a resistors business sale, a stalled negotiation can be an indication that the deal is dead. At this point in the process, an awareness of negotiation parameters really pays off. If the buyer is unwilling to accept your minimum demands, it's time to end negotiations and move on to the next prospect.

Benefits of Third-Party Assistance

Rarely, if ever, do owners sell a resistors business without outside assistance. Brokers can be an important resource for your sale, especially if you are unfamiliar with the business-for-sale marketplace. Other early hires include the professionals you will need to valuate the business, prepare financial statements and navigate legal considerations. The benefit of soliciting outside assistance early is that seemingly small decisions now can have big consequences later. By consulting professionals throughout the sale of your resistors business, you can avoid painful tax and legal complications both before and after closing.
