The Paul Rice Realty's 10 Step Business Selling Strategy

We believe that you come to us to achieve the highest possible price with the least amount of time taken from your business. We know that your time is more valuable when invested in running your business. In order to achieve the best price, your business must continue to grow. After all, that will be the basis for a buyer to want to purchase your business, rather than consider any other business or investment option. Strategy for Selling a business

Our philosophy has created a multiple step strategy that culminates with the sale of your business. It is a proven method for selling any business.

Step 1 Comprehensive business analysis.

As your business advisor, we analyze your operation, finances, market potential and trends. We generate a business profile that represents your company in the most attractive way possible.

Step 2 We structure the sale.

We then identify the best possible price range for your business. This is based on solid facts, the condition of the market, projected growth, sales potential and the sale of similar businesses within your industry. We apply sophisticated, time proven valuation techniques to ensure that your price is appropriate for the current market condition. The price must not be too high or too low. Yet, it must represent an attractive investment potential.

Step 3 We network the sale.

We utilize the latest technology to present your business to potential buyers all over the world. This greatly multiplies the effort in your favor.

Step 4 We advertise your business.

Our aggressive marketing program ensures your confidentiality and provides maximum exposure for your business. Your listing is placed in various industry databases and publications which are constantly updated. With PAUL RICE REALTY!, you have literally thousands of industry professionals selling your business, yet your confidentiality is always respected.

Step 5 We organize all necessary documentation.

As part of our service, we gather and organize all documentation that is relevant to the sale of your business. Buyers are pre-qualified and required to execute a confidentiality agreement before receiving any sensitive information concerning the sale.

Step 6 We qualify the buyers.

We prepare and present all offers. Buyers are qualified for financial ability to meet the offer. Many times a negotiation is doomed to fail because of lack of proper qualifying. As your business advisor, we can approach potential buyers without weakening your position.

Step 7 We negotiate for you to achieve the best price.

Appropriate negotiation is crucial to achieving your price and terms. We have the expertise to establish sound and resourceful negotiating techniques on your behalf.

Step 10 We are there for the transitional phase.

Because we are in the business community, you have the option to consult with us at any time after the sale. We will provide you with any assistance you may require after the closing. We always remain in your corner!
