Assess the Performance of

Your Company

Knowing what you are starting with will

help you choose the approach that will

improve the performance of your

business before you attempt to sell.

Make sure that all of the documentation is

in perfect order. Accounting has to be

impeccable for you to get started with the

business sale strategy and your attempts

to increase the value of the company.

Assessing the current situation means

pinpointing both the strengths and the

weaknesses you will have to deal with.

Work on Attracting New

Customer Groups

Investors are not going to be impressed

by companies that rely on a single source

of income.

Diversifying the portfolio and looking for

new customer groups to target will lead

to decentralization. This is a vitally

important concept for a successful

business sale.

Having loyal customers is great but

investors are interested in broad markets.

The sooner you begin working on this

aspect of the sale, the better results you

will achieve.

Buy New Technology

Modernizing the production process is

another great way to increase the value of

your company before you attempt to sell

privately.

Invest in new technology that will make

the production cheaper and will reduce

some of the main expenses you have to

deal with on a regular basis.

This kind of investment will affect the

value of your business, which means it is

a good idea before you get started with

the company sale.

Bring Up the Efficiency of Your

Marketing Campaigns

Are your marketing attempts delivering

the expected result? Do they result in

higher profit, better brand recognition or

the attraction of new prospects?

Working on more efficient marketing will

establish the company as an industry

leader, which will ultimately bring its

value up. Whether you are trying to find

new customers or you are doing

reputation building, marketing is vitally

important in the period before the

business sale begins.
