Preparation is the key to success in selling a business.<\/p>\r\n

\u201cA well-prepared business gets more offers, and usually better offers, than does a less-prepared one. A well-prepared business also advances the sale more quickly.<\/p>\r\n

Chances are your business can be improved in ways that enhance a buyer\u2019s confidence. The more comfort and trust the buyer has in you and your business, the fewer opportunities a buyer has to question various aspects of the business and negotiate a lower price.\u201d (The Exit Strategy Handbook, p. 69.)<\/p>\r\n

Most business owners think that the process of selling a business is mostly about giving a possible buyer financial statements and tax returns. It might surprise some to know there are many other things buyers wants to know before purchasing a business.
