Tips for Creating a Buyer List for Your Business
One of the most important steps you will need to take when you sell your company is creating a buyer list. Here are 4 tips for you.
The Advantages of a Limited Auction When Selling a Business
“[A]s with most auction processes, having more folks interested only helps the price of the item remain attractive. This is why art, for example, is typically sold via limited auction, and auction houses try to fill the gallery with folks to create a compelling environment for the item being auctioned.
This is much, much harder to accomplish when selling a business, and it is why so many less skilled players such as many business brokers either specialize on a geographic region or industry, or both.”
