As a supplier or a distributor, you have invested a great deal of
time and financial resources to develop your successful business and
you are now interested in realizing the value of your hard work and dedication
by selling it. What is the right price? Who is the likely buyer? How
can I get the right answers to these questions confidentially?
The sale of your business can be an arduous and time-consuming process
that can take you away from running your business unless you have the
right financial advisor. Researching all potential buyers, qualifying
all prospective buyers, and setting forth a thorough and effective
presentation of your business to these prospects are just a few of
the critical steps necessary to realize your objective: maximizing
the proceeds from the sale of your business under the most advantageous
terms.
To realize this objective, you need an advisor that will completely and
assertively represent your interests to their fullest.
CMC, LTD. has the knowledge and experience to answer the typical questions
that arise when selling your business as well as the skill to execute
these critical steps in a thorough, expeditious, and confidential manner.
This leaves you free to focus your time and talent on running your business.
The first step in the process of selling your business involves your
completing the Confidential Questionnaire and returning it along with
your three most recent fiscal year end financials (Balance Sheet and
Profit & Loss Statements). We
pledge to you that all information disclosed to us by you will be held in the
strictest confidence, and will not be disclosed to any third parties without
your prior authorization.
The information you provide us will be critical in our valuation of your
company as well as identifying and assessing the companies that would be
interested in acquiring it. Once we receive the information, we will complete
the valuation which will assist us in determi
ning the most advantageous and realistic price we will use to market
your company to prospective purchasers.
We then move to the search process, which essentially involves six steps:
- Identifying companies that provide a strategic, operation, geographic
and/or other similar match with your company;
- Contacting (proactively,
but confidentially) those companies to determine their interest in
buying your company;
- Arranging for you and the owner(s) of the interested
companies to meet and further explore commonalties;
- Reviewing and analyzing
the prospective buyer's ability to close on the purchase;
- Developing
the suggested purchase structure;
- Negotiating and assisting in closing
and transaction.
We require an initial deposit to begin the valuation process, and a
Retainer, which covers our time and basic search expenses incurred in
the initial, prospective buyer identification process. Once we sell your
company, we will earn the Transaction Fee. The Retainer (net of expenses)
will be credited against the Transaction Fee upon closing.
To begin this process, please contact us for the Seller's Agreement via
e-mail or phone us at 260-637-6643. |
