Use Exit-Pro to Sell your Business Quickly, Easily and Pay NO Commission
Perfect for Small to Mid-Sized Businesses
You invested a lot of time, money, and effort to build a business you can be proud of.
Naturally, you want to see a good return on that investment – which is why selling your business with expert help is so important.
An experienced exit coach can help you:
I’ll show you how to prepare an exit plan that starts with a clear statement of your goals and helps you determine if selling your business will help you achieve those goals.
The number one reason businesses don’t sell each year is that they are overvalued. Setting a realistic asking price is essential to your success.
Many business owners put off selling their business because they don’t know where to start. I’ll guide you through the process that I’ve used to help 100’s of business owners successfully sell their businesses.
Selling your business can seem like a daunting process. Having an experienced advisor to talk to explain key concepts will reduce your anxiety and help you negotiate a better deal with a buyer.
You only get one chance to make a good first impression. That’s especially important when selling your business. How you present your business has a huge impact on how successful the sales process will be. Presenting the right information, in the right way, at the right time is essential.
First impressions mean a lot. Writing an effective online listing is essential to engaging qualified buyers and presenting your business in way that justifies your asking price.
Legendary investor Warren Buffet likes to say, “I’ll let you set the price, if I can set the terms”. How you structure the terms of the deal can be just as important as your asking price.
Unlike regular business brokers, we don't charge a commission, so you maximize how much you keep when your business sells. That can save you between $10,000 and $100,000, depending on the value of your business.
When it comes to selling your business you have some important decisions to make. The first is should you do-it-yourself or hire a business broker? Many business owners chose to sell their business themselves because…
Most business brokers charge a retainer of between $1,000 and $5,000 to list your business, plus a commission or success fee of around 5% for mid-sized business and 10-12% for small businesses. The average commission reported by business brokers in 2019 was $57,000.
According to the International Association of Business Intermediaries, 80% of businesses listed for sale each year don’t sell. What they don’t tell you is that most of these businesses were represented by business brokers. Your results will vary greatly based on the skills, experience, and training of the broker you work with.
If You Decide To Sell Your Business Yourself,
Be Sure You Have the Help You Need…
Although you can certainly sell your business yourself, doing it alone is not recommended…especially if it’s your first time
Selling a business involves corporate finance theory, business valuation expertise, marketing and copy writing, negotiating, and closing skills. Most business owners are expert in all of these areas. With 25 years in the business, I can guide you through our proven process and help round out your skill set and provide help where and when you need it.
Your business is probably your most valuable asset. Selling it successfully could be the most important financial transaction in your life. Success or failure could make a huge difference in your family’s financial future. Following a proven process and having an expert to lend a helping hand when needed will greatly increase your odds of your success.
Unless you’ve sold several businesses, the challenge is that you don’t know what you don’t know until it’s too late to do anything about it. Having a coach and mentor who is available to guide you and answer any questions reduce your anxiety and stress and lead you to a successful outcome.
Selling your business on your own can be a lonely process. Sometimes its good to have an objective, third party to talk with and bounce ideas off as you explore your options or negotiate a deal with a potential buyer. And because we don’t get paid a commission, our advice is completely conflict free and without bias.
Many entrepreneurs are pure do-it-yourselfers. But as a wise man once said, “Be strong enough to stand alone, but smart enough to know when you need help, and brave enough to ask for it.”
