The “Journey to the Sale” Is Different – In A Big Way
The reality is – IT’S a BUYERS MARKET
Most of us have been on this “Ownership Journey” for a long time.
-
- In Phase One – You Started the Business – Because you wanted the rewards of Ownership
- In Phase Two – You Grew the Company to Significance – Because you had a GOAL
Now, as you reach the FINAL PHASE, you must begin transforming your business and yourself into the “ONLY OPTION FOR THE BUYER” – because the market is flooded and the buyers are few.
As the graphic below indicates, only 18% of the small business that go to market sell.
We address that with innovative tools and processes that focus on three critical areas that Buyers need to see – or you won’t get the highest price – if you get an offer.
First, you must be “Profitable” in the eyes of the Buyer. Paying your bills is good, but they want an ROI on their investment.
Second, you need be “Healthy” meaning that all your operations are Professional and Efficient.
Finally, you need to be “Marketable” meaning that the Buyer must see your company as the most attractive of the litter.
