Our clients don’t want their employees, customers, and competitors to know that they are selling their building materials business. We don’t advertise the name of your business. We will promote a general description that is enough to get people interested but not so much so that they can identify your business before they sign a confidentiality agreement. We will also screen them to only work with financially qualified buyers.
After they sign a non-disclosure agreement, we’ll provide them with more details about your building materials business. We usually have to speak with many potential buyers to find the right ones, that are not only interested in your business but have the financial resources and are willing to pay terms that are acceptable to you. This generally takes on average 6-10 months, but we’ve had some businesses that sell in a couple of months, so it depends on the details.
