Our Edge: A large number of brokers in the Sunbelt network are former business owners or high-level managers. They understand the concerns expressed by business owners in regard to the sale of their businesses. We provide you with practical answers to the basic questions all sellers ask: • What is my business worth? • What kind of financials do I need to provide when I sell my business? • How do I ensure confidentiality? • What is the most effective way to find qualified buyers? • What kind of financing is available to help me sell my business? • How do I deal with "off the books" transactions? • How do I screen buyers? • Will I have to carry a note when I sell my business? Our Method: Everyone, from the Sunbelt Indiana Business Resource franchisee to each individual business broker, is trained by Sunbelt in the specific business brokerage disciplines that produce results. Consultation on a variety of business issues is available at your request as your selling process evolves. Selling a business is an intricate process that requires a very specific expertise as well as the ability to solve problems in a practical yet creative manner. We do realize, however, that all businesses are unique and that applying a "cookie-cutter" approach will not be the most effective method. We always try to tailor our marketing and procedures to accommodate the needs of your business and your concerns. Our intent is always to keep you informed and involved in the sale of your business. We know you want the freedom to concentrate on your business while we find you the right buyer. ConfidentialityConfidentiality is paramount to any business sale and is the cornerstone of our practice. When a business broker is involved in the sale, bringing to the business only those prospective buyers who qualify, it is also easier to maintain confidentiality during the selling process. Until a purchase-and-sale agreement has been signed, most sellers do not want the word to reach their customers, competitors, employees, or even their bankers. A business broker helps by using nonspecific descriptions of the business, by requiring signatures on strict confidentiality agreements, by screening all prospects, educating buyer prospects of the damage (and subsequent ramifications of a breach), sometimes phasing the release of information to match the growing evidence of buyer sincerity and trustworthiness.Sunbelt Indiana Business Resource will market your business while maintaining confidentiality. Employees and customers will not know that it is for sale, and all inquiries and meetings regarding the sale of your business are held in the strictest of confidence. Marketing ExpertiseSunbelt Indiana Business Resource will market your business using a variety of methods. We have over 24 years experience in the Indiana market and have access to over 300 other Sunbelt offices in the world as such, when we are marketing your business, you too, have access to all of those buyers as well.Network Affiliations: M & A Source GroupInternational Business Brokers Association National Association of Certified Valuation Analysts Indiana CPA Society Venture Club of Indiana Association for Corporate Growth Association for Corporate Renewal Institute of Business Appraisers American Society of Appraisers Still unsure about using a business broker?
