  • Determine What The Business Is Worth - We start by establishing what the business is worth, by determining earnings, applying rules of thumb for that industry and looking at what comparable businesses have sold for as well as what is currently on the market. Our office has one of the area’s only Certified Business Appraisers and we also have access to a lot of data on businesses that are for sale, as well as those that have sold in the past several years – so you can be confident that our valuation will be accurate.
  • Prepare A Detailed Offering Portfolio - We will put together an attractive and informative offering portfolio that we will use to market your business to potential buyers – only after they’ve signed a confidentiality agreement.
  • Develop A Marketing Plan To Sell The Business - Our listings go out to over 30 different websites where your business is advertised. Because Murphy is the largest brokerage firm in North America, we also have a large pool of buyers with which we work.
  • Negotiate An Offer and Structure A Deal - We will be the go-between in the negotiation between the seller and buyer and will work diligently to ensure that everyone comes away happy. Murphy Business Sales has relationships with some of the premier loan brokerage firms in the country, who have relationships with hundreds of lenders and the expertise to know which ones to go to for which types of deals. We are knowledgeable and creative when it comes to structuring the deal so that the deal not only happens but again – all parties come away happy.
  • Perform Due Diligence - During the due diligence period, the buyer will make sure that everything is in order for the business. We will facilitate this happening, as well as be there to smooth over any hiccups that may come up to ensure that the deal happens.
  • Finalize Closing - Once due diligence has been performed and everything is in order – the buyer and seller will attend the closing where all necessary documents are signed and any loans are finalized.
