Sell a business
Thinking of selling your business?
You’re not alone. 41% of Canadian entrepreneurs intend to sell their business over the next five years. 52% of sellers expect to sell their business outside of their family.
While you make the decision if now is the time to sell, it is helpful to ask yourself some important questions. Be honest and thorough with your answers. Answering these questions may help you determine your path to a sale.
› What are your reasons for selling the business?
› What do you have to get out of the sale to meet your needs?
› Is the business ready for sale?
› Are all the business operations well documented and ready for the buyer to take over?
› What is included or excluded from the sale?
› Do you have a plan to transfer the business?
› Will you work with the new owner during the transition to train them?
If you have made the decision to sell your business, these are the next steps for listing your business.
