7 Tips to Get the Best Price for Your Business
. ..
Every business involves selling of some kind, but the sale of the business itself is by far the most important sale you will ever make. Selling a business is a complex transaction and, while it's not impossible to handle it yourself, there are some compelling reasons why it makes good sense to work with a professional business broker.

Why Use Bottom Line Management?
1) Confidentiality: Unlike a real estate sale, you don't want to stick a "For Sale" sign in front of your business. We can explore all possible marketing channels and methods, even sound out competitors, while maintaining complete confidentiality.

2) Pricing: Pricing a business can be tricky. If it's too high, it won't sell; if it's too low, you're leaving money on the table. We help you establish optimum pricing so your business will sell as quickly as possible while netting you the maximum amount.

3) Screening buyers: "Tire Kickers" can waste your time, and selling to an unqualified buyer can create a nightmare after the sale. We screen every potential buyer to save your time and protect your confidentiality.

4) You can concentrate on running the business: In one way, selling a business is like selling a house; you want to show it at its best. When the business is actually on the market, every month should be a banner month. You need to concentrate on what you do best -- running the business.

5) Comprehensive marketing: We develop a comprehensive marketing strategy, which may include media advertising, multiple listing services, and targeted mailings, as well as our internal database of buyers who have indicated an interest in certain types of businesses. Again, we always maintain complete confidentiality.

6) Adding value to your business: Because BLM's principals have extensive experience in small business management consulting, we can frequently find innovative ways to increase the value of your business prior to the sale.

7) Negotiations: Our President, Loren Marc Schmerler, regularly speaks and conducts seminars on Negotiating Skills. We can help you handle offers, counter-offers, and those unexpected problems that come up as closing approaches.
