Free – selling a business checklist
Perhaps you had planned to exit your business and retire after decades of hard work and sacrifice. Maybe you wanted to sell to move on to other things. You may even have had a buyer in the frame until quite recently who has now pulled out.
So is it a good time to sell my business?
Clearly now is not the ideal time to sell your prized business asset. Many businesses are simply struggling to stay afloat or have gone into hibernation for a few months until it’s safe to come back out.
Actions you can take now to put yourself in a stronger position to sell your business
At the moment it’s difficult to predict how long Covid 19 will last and, when it eases, how this will be phased out and allow businesses to get back to some form of normality. Of course, this is difficult for anyone looking to sell their business but there are some actions you can take now to put yourself in a stronger position when we start getting back to more positive times.
The key action areas are:
- Get your housekeeping in order and cut all unnecessary costs so you will have reduced overheads ro help you ‘weather the storm’
- Scenario plan for when we emerge from the current scnario. Look at a range of options so you can hit the ground running when the time is right
- Make sure your business will stand up to scrutiny from any prospective buyers by having all of your key information ready to answer any questions, no matter how probing they may be.
- Preparation is 90% of success
