Services for Sellers

Negotiations

Selling your business is a major decision. You may have devoted many years to growing your business to its current level of success. With so much of your time, money and emotional energy invested in the business, it is difficult to be objective when evaluating an offer from a potential buyer. We are experts at negotiation and can help you evaluate purchase offers with an eye to the full value of the proposed deal.

Strategic Marketing

We have the knowledge and resources to effectively market your business without compromising the confidentiality of the transaction. We utilize both traditional and new media to find the buyers who are most likely to purchase a business in your industry. Our goal is to attract qualified buyers who are ready and willing to make an offer to purchase.

Confidentiality

Maintaining the confidentiality of the transaction is critical to the seller as well as the buyer. Both parties have a vested interest in protecting the value of the business. The relationships you have developed with employees, suppliers and customers must be carefully protected throughout the transfer process. We are scruplulous in maintaining the confidentiality of our clients.

Pre-Screened Buyers

You don't have time to waste with casual browsers who aren't serious about buying a business. Or worse yet, you worry that you might be revealing the details of your business financials to an unscrupulous competitor masquerading as a buyer. Colony Crossing requires all potential business buyers to sign a confidentiality agreement before they are allowed access to specific information about your business and its financial history.

Business Valuation

Placing a value on your business is a delicate balancing act. You want the best possible price, but you know that if you overprice the business it will not sell. We have industry-specific formulas to guide you in setting an appropriate price on your business. We can also suggest ways in which to structure the deal so that it is most attractive to potential business buyers.
