Our Four Step Process:
STEP ONE: CONTACT A BUSINESS BROKER
Business brokers specialize in facilitating the buying and selling of businesses. When you engage the services of a business broker, you're employing an expert proficient in numerous essential facets of the transaction. Your Rose Brokers representative will collaborate with you to determine an appropriate listing price, identify potential buyers, negotiate offers, draft contracts, and ensure a seamless closing.

STEP TWO: GATHER YOUR FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Access to clean and organized financial information is paramount for a successful business sale. Your Rose Brokers representative will collaborate with you to review and recast financial data to determine a potential selling price range. Prospective buyers typically seek financial records from recent years to gauge the business's performance and anticipate what they can expect upon acquisition. To optimize your prospects for a successful sale, have the following documents ready to review with your Rose Brokers representative:
Federal income tax returns (at least two years' worth)
Year to Date Profit and Loss statement
List of inventory, equipment, and other tangible assets.
It's quite typical for clients to encounter challenges in procuring these documents. Understandably, business owners often find themselves immersed in daily operations, rather than focusing on overarching business management. Please don't be deterred if you lack these documents; reach out to us, and we'll assist you in initiating the process.
STEP THREE: BUSINESS VALUATION
Determining the ‘right’ price is crucial; it's about striking a balance that generates interest with potential buyers while also rightfully valuing your business and the hard work you’ve put into it. Historically, pricing stands out as the predominant factor in influencing the duration a business remains on the market. When a business is priced excessively, it often dissuades potential buyers from even initiating an inquiry. To pinpoint the ideal listing price, your broker will leverage our in-house accounting acumen to meticulously review and adjust financial statements and tax return data. This process includes juxtaposing your business against pertinent industry data and businesses of similar stature either listed for sale or recently sold. With this comprehensive analysis, both you and your broker can collaboratively determine the most advantageous listing price.
STEP FOUR: PREPARE A CONFIDENTIAL LISTING PRESENTATION
We believe a great listing presentation is the key to a successful business sale. Our confidential listing presentation includes all of the key financial and operational details of your business. These details are carefully curated by our brokers to show your business in the best possible light. This means your business listing stands out from the many others on the market resulting in more offers at higher valuations. We are constantly receiving compliments from buyers and other business brokers on the quality of our listing presentations and we leverage key design and marketing trends to stay ahead of the pack.
