Are you thinking of selling your Surveying Business? Perhaps you are ready to retire after building a great business for many years. You may have questions such as: What is the best way to sell my Surveying Business? How much can I sell my Land Surveying Business for? Who would be the best buyers, and who has experience selling Surveyor Businesses?
We have sold different types of surveying businesses, including engineering and surveying businesses and businesses that are only focused on land surveying. Our experts will guide you through the process. This may be your first time selling a Surveying business, but we have the experience to make the process easier for you. The first step is to have an initial confidential conversation so we can get an overview of your business. We’ll want to discover details such as your type of clients, employees, areas of expertise, geography covered, referral sources, and more.
The next step would be to review your financial information. We focus on selling Surveyor Businesses with annual revenues of $700,000 to $70 Million, so hopefully, your business is in that range. We’ll work with you to determine your total compensation, including your salary, perks, benefits, and profits. This will help us give you an idea of a possible selling price for your surveying business. If you want to move forward with us, the next step would be to develop an overview document about your business. This is designed to get buyers interested while maintaining your confidentiality.
We will use a confidential overview of your business to market it in many different ways. We will advertise it on the internet on our site and many other sites (some of which get over 1 million users per month). We will also market your business to our database of 40,000 potential buyers. We’ll contact many Engineering firms, Surveying firms, Construction companies, and investment firms that could combine your firm with another firm that they own. Before we provide the buyers with details about your business, including its identity, we’ll have them sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement and provide us with information on their qualifications.
Generally, we’ll need to speak with about ten potential buyers for everyone that is qualified and serious about your firm. Once we have a suitable buyer, we’ll usually set up a meeting or preliminary phone call to see if there is a mutual interest in going further. If so, then after questions are answered, the interested buyer will submit a letter of intent, which will outline the price and structure of the deal. Our goal is to get multiple offers, which allows us to get you the best price. We’ll work with you to evaluate each offer and weigh the merits of doing a deal with a particular buyer. You will also want to feel comfortable that you can work with them because, in most cases, you will need to stay on after the sale to provide a transition for the buyer.
In all, the process usually takes 6-10 months to complete a sale from start to finish, but in some cases, we have sold businesses in a couple of months, and sometimes a deal takes longer than usual. Since we don’t charge an upfront fee, our goals are aligned with yours. We want to sell your business in a timely fashion at a good price. Our fee is a percentage of the sale price.
