Knowing what a business buyer wants is the key to selling your business and getting the best price for it. In this market climate, most buyers are looking for two things, a cash flowing business and a deal. Here are a few things that a business buyer is gong to want to know that will allow the buyer to asses the situation and determine if yours is the right business for them. Is the business currently producing an income for the owner? Is the business seller retiring and fully funded his or her retirement plans? Does the sale of the business only represent a small part of the retirement portfolio? Is the business debt free? Do the financials show that the depreciation schedules are completely exhausted? Affirmative answers to these questions tell the business buyer that the business is making enough money for their needs and you are indeed in a financial position to sell your business and sell it within the constraints of the marketplace.

Almost nothing is as upsetting to a business owner than listing their business for sale and then having it sit on the market for months with no activity on it! What is wrong, why havent you sold my business you ask the business broker. The answer might be complex or very simple. The best thing to do as a business seller is to ask yourself a basic question. Does this offering make sense? Would I buy my own business as presented?

5 Essential Items to Sell Your Business Quickly
June 03, 2010 by Dan Munter
As a business broker and as a former business owner, I know that the decision to sell a business is not easy. But once it is made, I know that usually the seller wants to sell it as soon as possible. I always tell a seller to pretend that they are the buyer looking at buying their business. What would they need to see to decide to buy the business? From my experience and my logic, I have come up with a list of 5 items that really facilitate the selling process. 1) Have credible P&Ls for the past 3 years. 2) Have financial records to verify the value of the inventory and FF&E 3) Make sure that the key employees will stay employed 4) Make sure that the landlord is willing to lease for reasonable terms 5) Make sure that the key customers will continue to buy services or products.
