How To Sell a Business

No two businesses are the same. We don’t believe there's one sale strategy that works across the board. A successful sale starts with a total understanding of the opportunity on offer. When we have complete clarity around the business we can identify what the buyer profiles look like - then the question of how to sell it is very easily answered.

Our Business Sales team offers business owners a structured, strategic pathway to a sale. 

There are many ways to achieve a sale and the Bayleys Business Sales team approach covers all aspects of the sale process. 

This includes:

• Selecting the correct appraisal methodology 
• Creating a marketing strategy to reach all potential purchases
• Identifying and qualifying all potential purchases
• Negotiating on your behalf with purchasers to achieve the best possible price
• Managing the process of due diligence with the least possible disruption to your business
• Overseeing the completion of contracts, settlements and handover

With the best possible sales price as our mutual aim, and with enviable access to extensive national and international networks of genuine business buyers, we will work with you to quickly identify key target markets. 

Over the decades, we’ve consistently built intelligent databases of individuals and companies who are on the acquisition and expansion trails, along with a network of professionals who have clients looking to grow their business interests. 

We will market your business to the widest identified buyer market, qualify all enquiries whilst maintaining your chosen level of confidentiality, and facilitate a deal – all whilst protecting the integrity of your business.

Bayleys appreciates that the sale of a business is a substantially different prospect from the sale of property, requiring not only a different approach to marketing, but also a tailor-made road map for successfully completing the negotiation and sale process.
