Marketing businesses for sale is not like selling a car, house, building or boat.

Simply listing your business with a broker and having them put it on their website or in the local paper is unlikely to deliver a great result.

  • identifying the target market;
  • identifying the business’s point of difference and the key selling points that will appeal to the target market, and clearly identifying a potential purchasers’ key risks;
  • developing a credible business information package that details the business’s value proposition, performance and key selling points, and
  • determining the best way to reach and engage with the identified target market.
