Confidential Vt. Business Sales

With all of our clients, it’s important to maintain confidentiality during the sales process. We don’t advertise the name of your business or the exact location. Potential buyers will need to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement and give us their qualifications before providing the details on your business. We’ll gather some information about your business and develop a marketing document that positions it to attract the right buyers. We maximize your strengths and position the weaknesses as growth opportunities for a new buyer to improve the business.

When selling your Vermont business, do you want to do it confidentially? If employees or investors knew your business is going to sell, you could see a loss of employees and investment. By getting your Business sold through Synergy Business Brokers, you will keep the sale confidential.

Narrowing down the potential buyers

We generally need to speak with a large number of potential buyers to get a handful of buyers that are qualified and interested. We generally get the first one within 1-8 weeks and introduce them to you to see if there is a fit. On average, it’s 1-6 buyers that we introduce to sell the company. Typically, it takes 6-10 months, but we’ve sold businesses in a couple of months if everything goes quickly.

Valuing a VT Business

Before beginning the process, we’ll review your financial information and give you an idea of a potential selling price. This way, you know what to expect when the offers start coming in. The best way to maximize your price is through multiple offers, and in most cases, we’re able to achieve that. The key is to price the business properly. You can leave some room for negotiation, but in some cases, we’re able to get the full asking price.

Common Questions About Selling A Business In Vermont

We receive a lot of questions about selling businesses. If you were at the very start of selling your Vermont business, you probably have many questions. When you work with us and receive a consultation, you are just a number or a Business on a list. We take a hands-on approach to managing your Vermont business’s sale. While your questions will be answered through the consultation process, we have a few common questions we receive below.

Why Should I Sell My Vermont Business?

Some businesses choose to sell simply because of the market and how profitable the business is. A majority of businesses we work with are being sold because the owner is planning on retiring. Whatever reason you are selling your Vermont company, it isn’t an easy choice. We are here to provide the knowledge and support through the selling process you need.

How Much Should I Sell My Vermont Business For?

Before listing your Vermont company for sale, you will have to get a business valuation. Synergy business brokers provide a Vermont business valuation from the start. It is one of the first steps in our sales process. To provide a business valuation, we need to know your business’s tax history, assets, and other financial factors. By knowing your Vermont company’s value, we can effectively list it for sale.

What Does The Timeline For Selling My Vermont Business Look Like?

The timeline for selling your business depends on the business as well as the buyers. Many businesses we work with require the previous business owner to remain with the business until a successful transition can be made. Some businesses sell quickly and transfer quickly. Your business’s selling timeline depends on many factors. If you want to retire in the next 5-10 years, you should consider contacting us for our business brokerage services to start your business sale process.

Where Can I Sell My Vermont Business?

Many business owners think they can only sell a business within their local market. We have qualified buyers locally in the northeast and Vermont as well as nationally in the United States and internationally. When you sell your business with us, we will work with you to determine the best market to sell your business to.

Can My Vermont Business Survive Without Me?

Maybe not. But we can do our best to make sure that it does. Many business owners are concerned that their old business will fail immediately after they leave. If that is a concern, there is a solution. Some business owners will remain with their company in Vermont for up to a few years after the sale is made. By remaining as part of the company, you can make sure your business succeeds, and your legacy survives your retirement. This process can be incorporated into the sale of a business contract.

No Fee until your Vermont Business Is Sold

Most business brokers charge a fee to sell your business. We are selective in taking on businesses that we think we can sell because we don’t charge a fee unless we are successful. During our confidential consultation, we can give you a ballpark estimate of what your company might sell for and get more specific once we review the financial details.
