We just closed the window to receive offers on one of our listings.
The business was on the market for just 26 days. During that time, approximately 80 NDAs were signed, resulting in 9 offers — 6 at or above the asking price.
That kind of response doesn’t happen by accident.
A strong business certainly helps, but equally important is how the sale process is managed:
• Price the business appropriately. Overpricing can kill momentum before it ever starts.
• Vet potential buyers. Interest means very little if the buyer isn’t qualified to complete the transaction.
• Provide quality information. Serious buyers need enough accurate, well-organized information to understand the business and make a decision.
• Manage the offer process. Creating a clear timeline and maintaining competitive tension helps bring the maximum number of qualified buyers to the table.
Not every business will generate nine offers, nor should that be the expectation. But a properly priced business, professionally presented and carefully managed, gives the seller the best opportunity to let the market do its work.
If you are considering selling your business, the process you choose matters almost as much as the business you are selling.
