Common Seller Questions

One of the other key advantages of selling your business through our business brokers at the Orlando, Florida, office of Morgan & Westfield is that we will always be there to provide you with guidance and advice and to answer your questions. Some of the most common questions that we answer include:

• How long will it take to sell my business? Business sales can take anywhere from six months to a year. However, the exact time frame can vary significantly based on several factors.
• Why is discretion so important? It is vital that your business is sold in a way that maintains your confidentiality. Failure to sell your business discreetly can be damaging to your business’s reputation and profitability, decreasing your business’s market value.
• What can I do to maintain a confidential sale? There are two main ways in which you can maintain a confidential sale. First, it is best to tell as few people as possible about your impending sale until the sale has been closed. Second, anyone who is aware of your sale (including employees) should be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement.
• Do I need to finance my own sale? You are not required to finance your own sale. However, there are many advantages to financing your own sale, including you can command a higher price, you can charge interest on the purchase price, you will be able to pay capital gains over the life of the loan instead of in one lump sum, and business sales that are financed by their owner usually sell faster.
• How can I help to sell my business? One of the best things that you can do is to keep your business operating normally throughout the sales process. This will make buyers more willing to purchase your business and increase your business’s market value.
• Will I be required to sign a non-compete? When a buyer purchases your business they will usually require you to sign a non-compete agreement. This is a standard aspect of most business sales.
• Will I be required to train my buyer? As a standard aspect of most sales contracts, you will most likely be required to train your buyer. The exact time frame in which you will be required to train them will be outlined in your sales contract.
