SELLING YOUR BUSINESS IN NZ

 

Selling a business as a going concern is one of the most significant things you will ever do, as the price you receive may determine the lifestyle you can expect for the following decades of your life. Every dollar you add to your bottom-line net profit could add around two, three or more times that figure to your business’s sale value. You have put in countless hours, money and energy building your business and you deserve the best representation possible.

THE SELLER'S 10 COMMANDMENTS

Simple, straight-forward advice to help you achieve the best possible price with the least problems.

  1. Thou Shalt Not be Greedy
    Buyers look at many businesses before buying. Offering reasonable price and terms will get a prudent buyer's attention.
  2. Thou Shalt Have a Good Reason for Selling
    After the buyer asks "How much?" the next question is "Why is the seller, selling?". The reason must be logical . . . to the buyer.
  3. Thou Shalt Provide Proof of Profits
    All books and records should be clear and readily available.
  4. Thou Shalt be Willing to Train
    Most of those purchasing a business are first-time buyers and will need a minimum of two weeks training.
  5. Thou Shalt Provide a Covenant Not to Compete
    Buyers want to make certain they will not be competing with you for the same customers.
  6. Thou Shalt Provide a Complete List of Assets
    Buyers want to know what they are buying before making an offer.
  7. Thou Shalt Keep thy Business in Good Repair
    Clean, neat appealing businesses sell.
  8. Thou Shalt Prepare the Landlord for the Sale
    Landlords can be real 'deal killers' and buyers need to know if the lease will be assigned or a new lease will need to be negotiated.
  9. Thou Shalt Avoid Surprises
    Surprises tend to destroy the buyer's trust and will send them running, not walking, to another opportunity.
  10. Thou Shalt List with an Experienced Business Broker
    Because specialist business brokers add value to the process because of their appraisal and negotiating skills and their multi-pronged marketing strategies. Brokers can also "recast" financial statements, qualify buyers, maintain confidentiality and identify hidden 'intangibles'.
