Business Broker and M&A Services in Bridgeport, Connecticut

Selling Your Business With a Professional Business Broker

At Morgan & Westfield, our number one priority is helping you sell your business successfully. When we say that we will help you sell your business successfully, we do not just mean in the short term. Many business brokers consider a sale successful if both sides reach an agreement to purchase the company and a down payment is made. At Morgan & Westfield, however, our standards for a successful sale go far beyond securing a down payment and agreeing to a deal. Some of our criteria for a successful sale include:

  • The sale must be properly structured to prevent disputes or fundamental problems that may nullify the sale or lead to repayment problems.
  • Funding must be secured for the sale.
  • The sale must be financed in a way that makes repayment possible.
  • A buyer must be found to be capable of running the business to its potential, thereby increasing the likelihood of successful repayment.
  • Terms of the sale must be clear so that all parties are aware of their obligations, and all obligations must be completed by all parties in a timely manner.
  • Negotiations must conclude amicably, as the buyer and the seller are likely to have mutual interests going forward.
  • Terms of the sale must be agreed to that are mutually beneficial for all parties.

At Morgan & Westfield, our business brokers subscribe to the philosophy that a sale is only successful if it works for all parties in the long term. Simply securing a down payment and a signed purchase agreement is not enough. Our emphasis on working to ensure that all sales that we are involved in are completed successfully based on our high standards is what separates Morgan & Westfield from other business brokerage firms.
