Comprehensive Sales and Marketing Campaign

We will then professionally produce a customized marketing program. Our administrative staff will work with you to create a comprehensive sales and marketing campaign that will allow buyers to preview your business without having to schedule onsite showings, thus saving hours of needless showings, and ensuring confidentiality. Ask us how! 

At our expense, we will also post your company for sale on 10+ business for sale related websites, including our own website search engine, which generates 1000s of new buyers to our website every month.  Additionally, Company Sellers International has a national database of buyers that have already been pre-qualified to buy a company just like yours.  We will also dialog with you further about additional local, regional, and national resources. 

Buyer Management

Our brokers will completely manage the buyer process so that you don’t have to.  Before a buyer can receive ANY information about your business, they must prove to us that they are qualified to buy your company.  Each buyer must first complete a buyer profile and sign a non-disclosure statement proving that they have the skills and financial resources to purchase your business.  These forms can be completed and submitted direct from our website!  Once qualified buyers have submitted these forms, they will have access to both the video and the business profile.  This is an imperative step when trying to maintain confidentiality.  It also saves substantial time that would have otherwise been used showing your business to “tire kickers”- those buyers that cannot or will not buy your business, regardless of whether or not you show the business to them.  Now, before an actual showing/tour is scheduled, we know that the buyer is 80-90% ready to put in an offer.

Offer Counter Offer Process

Company Sellers International will work closely with both buyer and seller to make sure that the offer/counter process goes quickly and smoothly.  We will provide, and help to prepare the forms required for every step of the sale process, including but not limited to:  Letter Of Intent, Counter Offer, Earnest Money Receipt, Asset Purchase Agreement, Promissory Note, Security Agreement, Bill Of Sale, Shareholder Consent, Non-Competition Agreement, Closing Agreement, Settlement Sheets.  These forms are a necessity to ensure no steps are missed in the legal protection process.  (Nationwide Business Brokers must advise you to have your primary business advisors review all documents before signing.  However, the fees charged for legal review are substantially less than the initial creation of legal forms.)

Financing

Your buyer will almost always require some form of financing, whether it be a conventional loan, asset loan, SBA guaranteed loan, factoring, home-equity loan, or seller financing.  We work hundreds of lenders nationwide.  We have a national pre-qualified database of the most active, aggressive, and prompt lenders anywhere.  At no cost, we will introduce the buyer and seller to the most appropriate lender based on size of deal, industry, location, and whether the loan will be based mainly on hard assets or cash flow.

Closing

The closing process is different depending on state.  Once the offer has been accepted, the financing has been secured, and all other contingencies have been removed, we will coordinate a final closing schedule, either with a transaction attorney, or with an escrow agent. 

You have assistance every step of the way!

Post-Sale Tax Planning

There are a number of tax free or tax deferred options available to you after the sale to offset the tax liability of your sale proceeds; including 1031 exchange (leverage your proceeds and buy a new business), investment market strategies, structured settlements, installment sales, and more!  We will provide you a list of options for review.

You will pay NO success fees (commissions) unless we actually sell your business at the rate and terms you agree to!
