Like houses, a company itself can be considered a capital asset. Selling it involves a lot of factors, and a lot of risks. One can easily make mistakes when trying to sell his or her business. Here are some of the most common pitfalls business owners should avoid when putting a company on the market:
Selling in a hurry
When things are done in a hurry, mistakes are almost inevitable. Buyers often try to pressure business owners into selling their company in a hurry, often giving a deadline. Business owners should treat this like a marriage proposal, and go into it well prepared. People should take their time while selling their company.
Being careless with information
Potential buyers often share confidential information about the company they’re aiming to buy. What happens is that other companies exploit this information to drive down prices. This is even more important if a company’s potential buyers are its competitors.
DIY
The problem when business owners do everything on their own is that they almost always lack the necessary expertise to cover all bases. Some owners may be good with finances, but have problems when it comes to legal documentation. Others may be adept with the legal jargon, but they are terrible with accounting. One huge mistake, and the sale will go south.
