The buyer should be able to carry forward your business with success and should align with the company\u2019s goals. The last thing you want is to see your years of hard work and effort go down the drain because you chose the wrong buyer.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This article will run through some top tips to ensure you can find the right buyer for your business and maximise the sale proceeds.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Know Your Buyer<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The right buyer may come in three different profiles:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the strategic buyer;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the financial buyer;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and the operator buyer.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Strategic buyers look for businesses to purchase that satisfy a particular objective. Compared to the other buyer profiles, they are often prepared to pay more for the right business.\u00a0 Usually, they want a business that will improve the fortunes of their existing business by gaining access to resources or markets through your company. They often look for a business that enables them to expand their existing business into new locations and verticals or to extinguish competition. Strategic buyers can include competitors, suppliers, and customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Operator buyers are people who want to run a successful business. Often they want a life or career change, and buying an existing business poses minimal risks for them. Usually, they are the least experienced buyers and may have trouble financing the company in the future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the other hand, financial buyers are professional investors such as private equity firms or investment partnerships. They often look to acquire undervalued or mismanaged businesses with the aim to turn around and then sell for a profit. Financial buyers often negotiate a lot on the price.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Industry Check<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When finding the right buyer, you must ensure that they appreciate the industry your business operates within. The risk in selling your business to a buyer without adequate experience is that they mismanage it, resulting in financial distress. Therefore, your buyer should ideally be aware of the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">which suppliers to use;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">future strategic challenges;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the market and market

This enables you to market your business accordingly and maximise the purchase price.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Buyers generally look for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">businesses with synergy potential;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">opportunities to expand market coverage;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">scaling opportunities; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reinventing their existing business<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Once you know what a buyer may want, you need to be prepared when they ask you questions about your business, as this will form the due diligence process. These matters relate to the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">revenue and profit margins;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">customers profiles and sales patterns;\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">existing supply agreements and other contracts like leases; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">any liabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Consider Instructing a Broker\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A broker can act as an intermediary when you sell your business to make the process smoother. Brokers understand the types of buyers and can advise you on what buyer will suit your business. They can assess buyers due to their experience and can advise you on whether the buyer has the best business interests in mind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A broker can also handle the advertising of a buyer for you and can pre-qualify buyers. They can understand the motivations of different buyers and help you get the best deal and price. With a broker, not only do you have a chance of getting a higher sum of money, but it is easier to find a buyer with similar values to you. Brokers can identify potential buyers who will look after your employees, customers, and reputation well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Key Takeaways<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When finding the right buyer for the business, you must first know what you want to see in a buyer. From there, you should know what the different types of buyers are and which buyer is right for your business. The right buyer should have adequate knowledge of the industry. Identify prospective buyers&#8217; motivations and market your business for sale accordingly. You may benefit from instructing a broker to help you source prospective buyers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you need help finding the right buyer for your business, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">you can contact <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">our experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/business-lawyers-lp\">business lawyers<\/a>, who can assist as part of our LegalVision membership.
