Yes, you can sell your business yourself.

Yes, we said that.

However, it’s usually not a good idea to take on this prospect all on your own. There’s a lot of fine details that have to be addressed in a business sale, and putting them all on your shoulders is a potential recipe for disaster. Your business broker partnership is a key part of your success and it should not be overlooked.

The good news is that even though you can sell your business on your own, you don’t have to. There’s a great saying in the business world that goes something like this, “Just because you can doesn’t mean you should.” At Website Closers, we believe that’s true.

See, selling your business is a lot like walking a tightrope. There’s a chance you could make it to the other side unscathed. But once you start financially and mentally preparing to exit your business, you can’t afford any trips or slips on that tightrope.

Hiring a business broker is like walking the tightrope wearing a secure harness latched to a line above you. If an obstacle occurs, you might slip off temporarily, but we’ll hoist you right back up. Our business brokers know how to navigate common challenges during business sales because we’ve done it hundreds of times before.

We know the common pitfalls, the signs of hesitations from an otherwise-secure buyer, and the due diligence issues that can send an interested buyer for the hills.

It’s our goal as business brokers here at Website Closers to help see you to the other side of the tightrope. We check the landscape for problems ahead of time and we step in clutch as needed if a problem occurs. You’ll know that everything is in place and ready for due diligence because we enjoy doing the work and avoiding those challenges.

When you’re looking for a business broker, of course you want the help of an experienced and dedicated person who knows your industry and knows how to sell and negotiate. But those shouldn’t be the only qualities you’re seeking in someone who will guide you each step of the way. Experience is a great teacher, but here are the other qualities you should be looking for in your business broker partnership:

  • Great communication. You deserve to know what’s going on and what your options are.
  • An interest in your business.
  • An understanding of the transition process and some of the things you can do now to make that easier on yourself in the future.
  • Where to find the right buyers and, more importantly, how to connect with them and start the conversation.
  • What to do to prepare your business before it’s even listed for sale.
  • How to determine whether someone is not a serious buyer or the right fit for taking over your business.
