How To Sell My Business Fast
There are many factors that influence how long your business is on the market. Some factors cannot be controlled, such as the current market condition. However, there are many factors that the seller has control of:
- Asking price in relation to profit
- Transparency of the financial information
- Diversification of the customer base
- Elimination of owner dependency
- Willingness to seller finance a portion of the purchase price
The main reasons for a business not selling are:
- Unrealistic asking price
- Business highly dependent on the owner
- One or two customers generate the bulk of the revenues
- Financial statements are inconsistent, casting doubt
- The parties are unwilling to negotiate mutually acceptable price and terms
The national average from listing to contract is approximately 184 days. Minimizing red flags for a buyer can aggressively decrease the time your business is on the market.
