Let’s say you want to sell. Now what? How do you go about that? Well, there are a few guidelines you need to follow while going about the sell. First of all you will want to be transparent to potential buyers. Get yourself out there. You can use a broker or openly advertise that you are selling your company. However, you do it, just make sure that you show enough to get your buyers interested. You may also want to search for a buyer/acquirer who is a fit for your company. Big company acquirers are usually out looking for businesses that are in line with their own. Look around yourself and check for those that will match and then try to get into talks with them. Just remember that while all of this is going on, you need to fix all of your books and all the flaws internal to the company to make it more sellable.
