Think You're Ready to Sell Your Business?

To sell your business is one of the biggest financial decisions you’ll ever make. It’s exciting, but it’s also complex, overwhelming, and filled with possible pitfalls. Without the right knowledge, you can leave money on the table, make costly mistakes, or miss out on opportunities.

The Problem
When you sell a business the process involves critical steps: valuation, due diligence, financial considerations, negotiations, and closing the deal. Here are just a few common challenges: 

  • How do you ensure you’re getting the right price?
  • How do you find the best buyer?
  • Do you engage a broker?
  • When is the best time to sell?
  • What steps can you take to make your business more attractive and valuable?

Getting these steps wrong can lead to bad deals, under or overvalued transactions, and financial headaches.

G'day. John here. I want to tell you how my partner and I failed to sell our business but then got 25% more for it!

Some years ago, I had a leadership management training business and at the seven-year point, I decided it was time to think about exiting. I merged my business with another business and the owner and I became partners in the new entity. We set a goal to exit with equity in three years.

After the three years we put the business on the market and tried to sell it ourselves. After a six-month emotional roller coaster, which was very unpleasant, we failed to sell the business.

I told a friend of mine, who had bought, built and sold a lot of businesses what had happened. He referred us to his recommended business broker. The broker told us selling a business is a process and you need to be ready and stick to the process. He also added, "... and by the way, you've priced your business too low."

We listed the business with him and added 25% to the price we had failed to sell at. We followed his process and sold the business for the full price. It would have cost us a lot of money if we had sold ourselves not knowing what we were doing.

As a result of this experience, I realised how little most owners know about valuing their business, how to have it ready for sale and what is involved in the sale process. I decided to use this experience to niche my coaching services.

Shortly after the sale, the broker who sold our business offered me training and a job as a broker with their firm. Over the next twelve years as a business broker, I sold many different types and sizes of business. Experience which I now use and share  in my workshops and with all my clients.

What previous attendees & clients have said:

I attended John’s “get your business ready for sale” course and this was extremely beneficial  as it was a lot more complicated than I expected. After the course John worked as my coach to prepare my company for sale over an 18 month period. When the time came to list I was fully prepared and achieved a very satisfying result. I cannot thank John and his BOTA group enough for the support and guidance.

My advice to business owners, call John today!

Whether you're just getting started with your business or already thinking about an exit, John's workshop will give you the right information to consider to ensure the whole process goes smoothly. Well worth it! It covers a range of issues often missed by business owners. As they say "a business worth selling, is a business worth keeping", so even if you're NOT interested in selling, I highly recommend attending one of these workshops because it will open your eyes to new opportunities. It will help you get out of the "job" you've created for yourself, think like a real entrepreneur and build something that works for you without you being present all the time. - Jurgen Van Pletsen

I was looking to sell my drive thru coffee business and had no idea where to begin... Luckily, John helped me understand the process, going above and beyond with his level of detail. His support allowed me to make a quick and profitable sale. I couldn't have done it without his help! Thanks so much John - Patrick Drew, Former Owner Of Drive Through Coffee Business

We had a wonderful time working with John. He took our naive selves under his experienced wing and kindly, patiently and with mature expertise guided us to a successful sale of our small business. I would recommend anyone to work with John Denton. Catherine and Willow Francis - Now sold up and in to a new business!
