The importance of a marketing plan is critical. The difference between putting an ad on the internet, and developing a comprehensive marketing plan could be the difference between selling and not selling your business. You’ve developed your business over a period of years, why cut corners at the most critical time in the history of your business? You want to sell your business for the best price and terms. The marketing plan is the development of the most compelling aspects of your business, targeting the most likely qualified buyers, and putting compelling and focused advertising to attract those buyers to engage in the sales process.
Another aspect of selling your business is confidentiality. We understand that you don’t want to panic your employees, alert your competitors or concern your vendors. We advertise your business in a manner that it isn’t specifically identified. For interested potential buyers, we then qualify them before sharing any confidential information.
The business profile is one of VR Business Brokers most potent tools. It includes not just the financial numbers, but an executive overview, review of the marketing, sales and operational aspects of your business, a brief market overview, facilities and employee resources. It is important that the buyer can visualize owning your business, and the marketing package is key in this respect.
Once the business profile is in place, it is time to promote your business as identified in the marketing plan, mentioned earlier. We commonly use internet sites to attract qualified buyers, and as appropriate will use print advertising, mailers to identified potential buyers, as well as personal solicitations to qualified potential buyers.
When an offer is received, we quickly review it with the seller, and discuss its possible implications, the buyer’s qualifications, review the terms, and either accept or if appropriate help prepare a counter-offer.
The offer becomes a contract when accepted, and goes into an escrow process to make sure that the contingencies are removed and that the transaction proceeds to completion. By focusing on the end goal of a successful closing, we strive to bring the transaction to a timely and tidy closing.
