ATTENTION: Small Business Owners, is it time to consider selling? How much is it worth? How long does it take? How do I list my business? What are the common pitfalls? For answers to these and other questions, call us for a FREE consultation

By the very nature of ownership and close association with the development and growth of a company over time, an owner may have difficulty in determining the value or how to go about preparing a business for sale.  Additionally where the owner is a manager of the business, he or she doesn't always have the time, skill or experience to deal with the time consuming and complex divestiture process.  We recognize that all too often the value represented in the business is the wealth and principal source of capital for a new venture or retirement income.  Therefore, establishing a fair market value view is imperative, as setting the price too low will result in the loss of thousands of dollars of potential income, while setting the price too high will result in the inability to attract a willing buyer.

Country Business Services provides the seller with a plain-language comprehensive, thorough and realistic evaluation of a "fair market value" view of your business.  Starting with an analysis of historical data and our knowledge of similar businesses, a price can be established that is fair to both you and the buyer.  The test of fair market value is the price that a willing seller and buyer are ready to settle on without the influence of compulsion to buy or sell.

Country Business Services will work with you through the entire process, from establishing the critical "Decision Documents" - Evaluation, Summary and Bulletin - to closure.  Every listing takes on a "custom dimension" and with the seller's input we develop a plan from our multi-point marketing and prospecting program that should optimize the opportunity for a successful sale.  In this context we become aware of owner's needs and aspirations and work out special terms and conditions to satisfactorily meet them in concluding the deal.  While you run your business, we market your business and prospect for buyers.  You receive a progress report and see only screened and qualified buyers and are assured of confidentiality.
