Due Diligence Checklist
Anatomy Of Selling Your Business

Seller Representation

 


Performance Industries has been involved in buying and selling companies for more than fifteen years. We assist in all phases of the selling process, from valuation to preparing the informational memorandum, to confidentially presenting it in a competitive buyer marketplace, to consummation at a maximum valuation.

Having an experienced financial consultant assist you in the process of selling your business provides a number of important advantages.

Advantages to Sellers:

  • Value determination. Most business owners understand the operational aspects of their business, but our experience shows that owners may not know the steps and options available to them in valuing their business. We provide you with an understanding of the approximate range of value for your business and what to expect in the selling process, and assist you all the way through closing.
  • Informational memorandum preparation. We understand what prospective buyers want in considering an acquisition. When preparing a thorough informational package describing the company to be sold, we are committed to highlighting your company’s accomplishments, strengths and opportunities. We gather and assemble this information in an effort to ensure minimal disruption to the day-to-day operation of your business and in a discrete and confidential manner.
  • Qualified buyer qualification. As an established business broker, we understand the selling process thoroughly. We track the acquisition criteria of potential buyers and sellers and develop a competitive buyer marketplace by approaching prospective buyers on your behalf, while protecting the confidentiality of your company.
  • Negotiation assistance. As experienced and capable intermediaries, we understand the factors of negotiation, including the complex motivations that come into play. We keep the sale process moving and remain focused on your best interest, saving considerable time and allowing you to devote your energies to running your business. Whether your organization is privately held, publicly traded, seeking a partial sale or a complete divestiture, we will help you to achieve maximum valuation.
  • Closing facilitation. We also are able to facilitate the consummation of a transaction in conjunction with your legal and tax advisors. By assisting you all the way through the closing process, we can provide you with the advice you need on when to initiate the sale, the tax consequences and the most advantageous structuring of a transaction.
