Selling a Wheels Wholesale and Manufacturers Business

Selling a wheels wholesale and manufacturers business doesn't happen overnight. It takes a deliberate process to get top dollar for your company.

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

There is no simple way to sell a business. But the most prepared wheels wholesale and manufacturers business sellers are achieving fair market value and more for their companies through persistence and the application of sound selling techniques.

Sale Documents

In a wheels wholesale and manufacturers business sale, the Letter of Intent contains the vital elements of the deal between the buyer and the seller . The price described in the Letter of Intent may fluctuate based on information that is revealed during due diligence, but the inclusion of new requirements in the final contract could be a deal killer. 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.

Pre-Sale Checklist

There is a lot of work that needs to be done before you're ready to sell your wheels wholesale and manufacturers business. Perhaps the most important pre-sale consideration is to right-size your expectations to the realities of the market. Armed with a realistic timeframe and asking price, you can begin to consult with your broker about the best way to approach likely buyers.

Identifying Serious Buyers

Unfortunately, many of the prospects you will encounter aren't serious buyers. Even though tire kickers are a fact of life in any sale scenario, they sap valuable time and energy that could be spent identifying more serious prospects. Your business broker can offer insights about how to quickly spot tire kickers. Never provide detailed information about your wheels wholesale and manufacturers business until the prospect has been qualified as a serious buyer.
