Successful Business Sales

The primary reason for working with a professional business broker is to ensure that your business is sold successfully. The last thing you want after your years of hard work and dedication in your business is to go through an unsuccessful sale that ends in default, non-payment, and legal battles. At Morgan & Westfield, our business brokers will make sure that this does not happen.

We will work to provide you with high-quality buyers who have been properly vetted to ensure their legitimacy. Our brokers will personally screen every buyer before we introduce them to you to verify both their financial ability to purchase your company and their ability to take over ownership effectively.

After screening buyers, we will guide you through the negotiation process so that negotiations will result in a mutually beneficial agreement that is conducive to a successful sale. Our business brokers will also aid you in properly structuring the sale and securing financing, thereby making repayment more likely. Read more about Negotiating the Letter of Intent

Our brokers at the Rockford, Illinois office of Morgan & Westfield have over 100 years of combined experience in facilitating business sales. We also facilitate hundreds of business sales every year. So our business brokers know what it takes to successfully sell your company.

Professional Advice

Because most business owners have never gone through the process of selling a business before, there is often a lot that they may not know. Many “tricks of the trade” or “insider tips” can prove helpful as you navigate this process.

Our business brokers at the Rockford, Illinois office of Morgan & Westfield make it a point to provide you with this insider information in the form of advice. The following are some examples of the helpful advice that our business brokers give:

• To make the sales process easier, have your financial information prepared by a professional before you begin the sales process.
• Prepare yourself for the sale. Sales tend to go more smoothly when the seller is fully committed to the sales process.
• Work with qualified buyers only. For successful repayment, your buyer will need to operate the business to its potential. If the buyer is not capable of operating the business and they fail, repayment is far less likely.
• Maintain good rapport with buyers. You will need to negotiate and communicate with them in the future, and this is far easier if you have a good relationship.
• Consult a tax professional to best prepare for the tax implications of selling your business. Read more about Tax Implications
• Use non-disclosure agreements and discretion to ensure that your confidentiality is protected. Read more about Confidentiality
• Be prepared to sign a non-compete agreement, as this is a standard clause for business sales. Learn more about M&A Non-Compete Agreement | A Complete Guide
• Be ready to train your buyer, as this is a common seller obligation.
• Maintain realistic expectations in terms of the sale price and the time it takes to complete the sale.
• Understand that your company’s value is ultimately determined by the market and how much a capable buyer is willing to pay.
• To guarantee a successful sale and that you receive the highest sale price possible, always seek the assistance of a professional business broker when you are selling your business.

Through providing you with advice, our business brokers will teach you about the business sales process. This makes you more informed, reducing your stress and making the process easier for you.
