Question:
Someone
is interested in buying my company. What do I do now
to close the transaction?
Answer:
Finding
a buyer for your company is only a fraction of the process
involved in selling your company. This site is not designed
to provide assistance on all phases of the transfer process.
All phases including, but limited to, company valuation,
buyer/seller negotiations, due diligence, financing,
tax planning and consequences, legal documentation, etc.
should be coordinated through experienced professional
representation. See Contact Us
for more information.
Question:
The
value of my company is clearly an issue with buyers and
lenders. Where can I get an appraisal?
Answer:
See
Appraisals. This issue
has become a very big issue. Even though that the general
consensus is that there are more buyers for good companies
for sale than there are good companies for sale, the
issue of value has never been more important. Consequently,
it has also become the general consensus among experienced
brokerage industry professionals that the issue of value
should be professionally addressed by a third-party appraisal/valuation
company.
Question:
How
do I know if the price of my company is too high or too
low?
Answer:
See
Appraisals. The first question
you must ask yourself is not what you would like to get
for your company or what you think it is worth, but rather
how do you know what the market values your specific
company? You may have an idea of what you want or must
receive in order to sell your company but that, in no
way, implies what the value of it is. Even though the
market is the only true determinant of value, there is
however, one other way to best pre-determine value.
Disinterested, third-party company appraisal/valuation
companies specialize in studying and professionally determining
approximate market value based on numerous financial
and market-related factors. Note that almost all lenders,
of course, require an appraisal on the company in order
to make a loan for it.
Question:
I
am wondering if I have priced my company too high. What
should I do?
Answer:
See
Appraisals. You are not
alone as this is very common. Many owners, of course,
sometimes think their company is worth more than the
market is willing to pay. How do you determine what market
value is for your company? Even though the market is
the only true determinant of value, there is however,
one other way to best pre-determine value. Disinterested,

How

in is worth what they are asking for it?
Answer:
See
Appraisals. How are you
going to have a good grasp on it’s value unless
you are well-versed in appraising/valuing companies?
Unless you have the financial and current market-related
experience in this field, you are probably not qualified

disinterested, business appraisal/valuation companies
(not business brokers, CPA’s/accountants, attorneys,
or other related individuals who think they know valuation)
are best qualified to determine market value.

OTHER
QUESTIONS
Question:
I'm
not sure exactly how I should create the wording and/or
what I should include in my Listing Profile and I understand
how important it is that I compose a very impressing,
comprehensive, fully-informative Listing Profile that
is key to marketing my company for sale yet sensitive
to confidential information about the company. Can I
purchase the services of a representative from SecurityCompaniesForSale.com
to compose it for me and how much will it cost?
Answer:
A
representative from SecurityCompaniesForSale.com will
assist you in composing your Listing Profile. The cost
is $175. First you must email
or fax all of the information/data
requested in the Profile Listing form. We will then contact
you regarding the matter. This is very important because
your Listing Profile is your presentation of what you
are trying to convey to those who are viewing it. If
it is poorly or unprofessionally presented, then the
marketing ability of your Listing Profile could ineffective
in portraying what it is that you are trying to convey
and/or potential buyers could actually “turned off”
at what they are reading.
