Sunbelt of Utah uses a proven methodology to successfully manage the business sales process. The following paragraphs provide a general outline of the process. Your team of business brokers can provide additional details and modify the process to meet your specific circumstances best.
As a first step in the sales process, we encourage all clients to critically evaluate their business operations, identify opportunities for short and long-term improvements as well as competitive challenges that will be of interest to prospective buyers.
We strongly recommend that clients provide us the necessary information for us to provide our "Broker's Opinion of Value". We have data from our Sunbelt Network and industry recent sales to share with you. We do believe every business is different and the value is not just based on "SDE". The length of time in business can be an important differentiator.
In conjunction with the preparation of the CBR and other marketing materials, our team will work with your management team to formulate a marketing plan, including defining the marketing process and establishing timelines. The marketing plan will be customized to fit your company’s particular circumstances.
Depending upon the nature, size, and value of your business, the most likely pool of buyers could be strategic corporate buyers, competitors, private equity groups, foreign companies or local, in-market investors. Our international office network facilitates the identification of potential buyers throughout the world. Sunbelt Business Brokers has a proprietary process whereby your service team can complete a succinct, confidential profile sheet based upon the Offering Memorandum. This confidential profile sheet can then be distributed to groups that we work with to identify those groups that may be looking for investment opportunities in your company’s line of business.
