A successful business. As an entrepreneur, it forces you to constantly make the right choices. There is a lot at stake. Selling your company is such an important choice. As an entrepreneur, you want to make the right decision.
Selling a business is a complex process. The price and conditions are not determined by numbers alone. Company size, market position and market developments also play a role, as do the number of potential buyers, the timing of the sale and the approach to negotiations.
What is the value of my business when I sell it?
How much is my company worth? You will have asked yourself this question at some point. Profitability is certainly not the only factor. And value does not equal price.
Is my business ready to sell?
It is important that both you and your company are ready for the next phase. Personal considerations play a role alongside business considerations, such as continuing to grow first and selling in a few years' time.
What potential buyers are there for my business?
Each type of buyer has its specific advantages and disadvantages. In a sales process we identify seven distinct buyer profiles.
