What to Expect When You Sell Your Business

The majority of business owners have never been through the process of selling a business before. So, when you work with our business brokers at the Fullerton, California office of Morgan & Westfield, one of the first things that we do is explain this process to you. We walk you through the entire process and answer all of your questions along the way.

Our business brokers also teach you about what to expect when you are selling your business. We will emphasize many of the things that are necessary for a successful business sale, but that most business owners are unaware of, including:

  • You will be asked to sign a non-compete agreement: Most buyers will want you to sign a non-compete agreement as a condition for purchasing your business. You should be prepared to do this, as these agreements are standard sale conditions.
  • You cannot tell people that you are selling your business: It is vital that you sell your business discreetly. If competitors, suppliers, or customers learn about the sale, then it can affect your company’s value. For this reason, you cannot tell people, including your employees, that you are selling your business. Anyone that you make aware of the sale should also be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement. Failure to maintain this secrecy can negatively impact the sale.
  • There are tax ramifications for selling your business: There will be tax ramifications to selling your business. These are dependent on many factors and they should be discussed with a tax professional to prevent unwanted surprises.
  • You will be asked to train the new owner: Sale terms almost always include training your buyer so that they can smoothly transition into their new role. You must be prepared to adequately train your buyer, as this is a standard aspect of any business sale.
  • You cannot hide anything: Many owners believe that they can hide information that paints their business in an unfavorable light, this is never true. Eventually, a serious buyer will discover this information. So, you must be prepared to address any issues upfront.
  • Your company’s price is market-dependent: Many owners believe that because they think their company is worth a certain price or someone tells them that it is worth a certain price, that is the price they will receive. This is not true. The bottom line is that the market will ultimately determine the value of your company. You should be aware of this and you should be prepared to consider this factor when you are considering any offer.
  • The success of the sale depends on the success of your buyer: Most business sales are financed to some extent. This means that for the sale to be successful, the buyer must make all of their payments. In order to do this, the buyer will need to successfully operate the business to its fullest potential. For this reason, it is vital that you work with qualified buyers and provide them with adequate training.
