When you sell a business with Murphy Business, our brokers will be there at every step of the sales process. To start, we will look at options for a business valuation. This ensures that your business is priced fairly and accurately.
We will then create a custom marketing plan to promote your business to potential buyers. Our marketing strategies include targeted marketing, direct mail, and consumer/trade advertising, to name just a few. Your marketing plan will also include the creation of an Offering Portfolio, which provides potential buyers with detailed information about your business.
In our experience, this service can help you sell a business more quickly and possibly for a higher value than with a typical one-sheet flier. By providing buyers with detailed information upfront, you will help them determine whether your business is a fit for their goals and budget.
Meanwhile, we have your business listed on national and international business brokerage networks. This will provide a much larger and deeper pool of potential buyers than you’d find with a local real estate professional or a typical business broker..
Throughout this process, we will not disclose confidential information without a signed Confidentiality Agreement. We will work toward full disclosure with either an Offer to Purchase or a Letter of Intent.
Once you’ve identified a suitable buyer, our brokers will be there to assist with the negotiation process and to help close the sale of your business. If necessary, we can use our banking contacts to assist the buyer with financing arrangements. At every step, we will be there to ensure that the sale of your business is handled according to best practices, and to help you obtain the maximum value for your business.
