Your company may operate without a central office, with employees working remotely and customers served online or by phone. If you are considering a sale, the key question is how the business can continue successfully when ownership changes.
Synergy Business Brokers helps owners sell profitable companies with annual revenue of $700,000 to $250 million or more. We work with you to explain the team, systems, customer relationships, and financial results behind your remote or virtual business.
Our 15-step sales process typically reaches qualified buyer introductions within 1–8 weeks, depending on the business and the information available. We then help you negotiate offers and manage the work toward closing.
A remote company’s value can be supported by a capable team, repeat customers, documented procedures, and systems that a new owner can continue using. We help buyers understand how those pieces work together.
We can discuss remote businesses in areas such as digital marketing, ecommerce, IT services, software, and website development. Each has different staffing, technology, and customer requirements.
For ecommerce companies, we consider where inventory is held and who manages fulfillment. For service businesses, we look at how work is assigned, delivered, and reviewed. For software companies, we consider development responsibilities, support, and recurring customer relationships.
A company can be remotely managed while still depending on particular facilities, licenses, or employees in certain locations. We explain those dependencies clearly rather than assuming the business can operate from anywhere.
We review the business and its financial information with particular attention to:
You do not need to reorganize the business before speaking with us. A clear description of how it operates helps us identify the questions to address and the buyers likely to be a good fit.
Our internet business experience includes companies delivering software and services online. For example, Synergy sold Media Database Solutions, a cloud-based royalty-calculation software business. That transaction involved evaluating customer concentration, recurring revenue, and the business’s specialized market.
A potential buyer could be an established company adding services, an investment group, or an entrepreneur with the skills to manage your operation. We evaluate the fit between the buyer’s resources and the work required to operate the business.
We market the opportunity confidentially, request NDAs and buyer qualification information, coordinate discussions, and help you compare offers. As a transaction progresses, we help organize the exchange of business information and coordinate with the parties working toward closing.
The transition should cover client introductions, team responsibilities, system access, and the knowledge needed to run the company. Depending on the buyer and your role, the handover may be short, part time, or spread over an agreed period.
Before founding Synergy, Blake Taylor helped grow a startup as its VP of Sales and Marketing before its eventual sale. You can learn more about our approach through our seller testimonials.
