It can be overwhelming, even frightening, thinking about putting up your ecommerce business for sale. What steps to take, who to contact and what the selling price should be. Fortunately, online business brokers exist for the sole reason of selling online businesses and bringing together buyers and sellers for the common goal of shifting website companies out of one set of hands into another.

Putting up an ecommerce business for sale is not as easy as simply placing it up on the marketplace for all to see. Then filter through the potential buyers and the lookie-loos, and anyone else who wants to gander at the business like people walking through an open house on a Sunday. Online business brokers take their jobs very seriously and every step of the process, from the initial handshake until the execution of the exit strategy, is done with care, thoughtfulness and aplomb.

Business brokers know the process of selling online businesses. A good one will have been in the industry for many years, if not decades, and will have millions of dollars worth of successfully sold businesses in their portfolio. Be wary of online business brokers that are just starting out. The industry is filled with “newbies” and those newbies usually don’t know the first thing about putting up an ecommerce business for sale, and the business owner is usually the one that suffers.

There are all types of things involved in selling an online business including website valuations, due diligence, maintaining confidentiality, networking with potential buyers, weeding out bad buyers, and formulating a good exit strategy. Don’t trust your business to just anybody, don’t place the “baby” you’ve worked so hard to build and thrive into the hands of an online business broker that is just starting out and doesn’t yet know the ropes.
