Selling a business is a complex process and it’s important to manage it well if you’re to achieve your objectives. Once you’ve decided that you want to sell the business, however, the next decision is typically where you’re going to sell.
With this in mind it’s a good idea to consider the complexity of your business’s financial and operational affairs and other elements, such as the size of the workforce. This should guide you towards the most suitable place to sell.
The industry you operate in may also influence the number and type of potential purchasers that show an interest in your business. So what are your options when considering where to sell your business?
- Online business sales platforms: this type of business sale platform acts as an online catalogue that helps prospective buyers in their search for a suitable business.
- Your website: letting new website visitors and existing customers know on your website that you’re selling your business can garner interest that you may not have otherwise received.
- Social media: the fast pace and global reach of social media makes it another option for selling your business, or at least an additional marketing strategy that can run alongside other sales outlets.
- Business sales brokers: this is typically the most effective way to sell a business. Using professional business transfer agents offers many benefits, including an independent valuation, sector experience and access to bespoke databases that can be used to target your ‘ideal’ buyer.
