Common Seller Questions

Selling a business is different from selling other assets, and many business owners have questions. Our brokers at Morgan & Westfield are here to guide you through the process. Below are some common questions that business owners ask:

• How do I find a buyer? We create a marketing campaign to promote your business and connect you with buyers. We also use our database of potential buyers who are already in the Morgan & Westfield system. All buyers sign a confidentiality agreement before beginning negotiations. Read more about Screening Buyers.
• How do I determine an asking price? We provide a business valuation that considers both internal and external factors. You will receive an estimated value for your business and a recommended price range.
• What do I need to do to prepare for my sale? Ensure your business is in top condition—physically, operationally, and reputationally. Prepare financial statements and any documents that show your business’s performance to potential buyers.
• What should I do while my business is being sold? Continue running your business as usual during the sale process.
• When should I notify my employees about the sale? Do not inform employees until the sale is complete. If any employees learn about the sale before closing, ask them to sign a confidentiality agreement. Read more about Informing & Retaining Employees When Selling a Business.
• Do I need to tell buyers everything about my business? Yes, you must be transparent. Hiding information can lead to the buyer backing out or damaging your relationship with them. Buyers will eventually discover any hidden issues.
• What are the tax ramifications for selling my business? Tax implications depend on various factors such as the business structure and sale terms. Consult a tax professional to understand your obligations, and we can refer you to one.
• Can I open another business? You may be asked to sign a non-compete agreement, which will outline when and where you can open another business.
• Do I need to finance my own sale? Seller financing isn’t required, but it is often preferred by buyers and can help you secure a higher price and speed up the sale. Read more about Financial Deal Structure.
• Will my sale be public knowledge? We work hard to keep your sale confidential. Buyers sign non-disclosure agreements, and we take steps to protect your privacy throughout the process.
• Can I sell my business without a broker? Yes, but businesses sold directly by owners tend to sell for lower prices and can lead to poorly structured sales, payment issues, or legal problems. A broker ensures a smoother, more profitable sale.
• What can a broker do for me? We offer services such as exit planning, business appraisals, marketing, buyer screening, negotiation support, due diligence, and closing services to guide you through the entire sales process.
• What can’t a broker do? While we can advise on aspects like setting the asking price, negotiating, and agreeing to sale terms, the final decisions must be made by you, the business owner.
