What is needed to Sell My Business in New South Wales?
The benefits of selling your business without an agent or broker can be extremely rewarding both satisfactorily and financially. No-one knows your business better than you. If you engage a broker, you have lost control to deal with prospective buyers. Why pay hefty commissions when you can save thousands of dollars. An average commission paid to a broker or agent to sell a business is around 10% of the sale price. The sale price often includes equipment and stock but you pay 10% of the WHOLE sale price! Companies like No Agent Business have been helping owners sell their business for over 22 years. With over 15,000 satisfied customers having listed with No Agent Property & Business, it is both safe and legal to sell your own business in Australia. Here’s a handy calculator to see how much you will save.
When selling your business, preparation is the key, as it is not always about the financials. Potential for growth, the current operations, the ease of getting new business and your position in the marketplace, competition etc, are all other important factors that prospective buyers will be interested in. Having an Information Memorandum already prepared covering all the above plus much more, is highly recommended to have prior to any prospective buyers enquiring about your business.
An Information Memorandum (or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) is a descriptive snapshot of your business, its history, current status and projected future position, benefits and possible improvements/further potential. The primary purpose of this document is to motivate potential buyers to buy your business and not someone else’s!
