Consultation Services
Guidance Throughout The Entire Process
As consultants, we at Gordon Company can play a pivotal role in facilitating the sale of a business. We provide our expertise, guidance, and support. This guidance can be in one or more areas below or throughout the entire process.
Preparing The Business For Sale
We identify areas where the business can be improved to increase its value and appeal to potential buyers. This might involve streamlining operations, improving financial records, or enhancing the business’s market position.
Valuation
We assess the worth of the business objectively, considering factors such as financial performance, market trends, and potential for growth. Accurately valuing the business is crucial for setting a realistic selling price.
Developing A Sales Strategy
We help devise a tailored sales strategy based on the unique characteristics of the business and its industry. This might involve identifying potential buyers, creating marketing materials, and determining the most appropriate sales channels.
Negotiation
We negotiate on behalf of the business owner to secure the best possible terms for the sale. This includes negotiating the selling price, what’s included in the sale, payment structure and financing, transition details, and any other relevant aspects of the transaction, such as employee and vendor contracts, lease agreements, etc.
Due Diligence
We assist with the due diligence process, ensuring that all necessary documents and information are properly organized and presented to potential buyers. They can also help prepare sellers for what buyers will be looking for and what questions they might ask.
Post Sale Transition
We help facilitate a smooth transition of ownership, ensuring that both the seller and the buyer are satisfied with the outcome. This might involve assisting with the transfer of assets, managing employee transitions, and addressing any other post-sale issues.
We at Gordon Company can oversee the entire sale process, from preparing the business for sale to the finalization of the sale agreement. We can help keep the process on track and address any issues or concerns that may arise along the way.
