The first place to start is understanding what your business is worth right now in the market. You need to identify the drivers in your business that will detract from its realisable value and getting a business review from a professional business broker will help you to identify these drivers. Every business is unique and will have elements that are not going to be viewed favourably and therefore will reduce the price buyers will be prepared to pay.
Once you have identified these drivers, you can then optimize them or remove them all together so all that is left are attractive selling points that buyers will pay top dollar to inherit. FOMA11. Let’s go through the top 12 key drivers that buyers find attractive.
The business has a firm management team in place.
The owner works 40 hours or less per week.
The business has shown growth in revenue, gross profit and net profit for 3 years in a row.
