It is incredibly important that you completely and totally research your market and target audience before you start the process of selling your business. So many newbie business sellers start creating an advert before they actually find out what is required and what people will really want to know. Doing good market research can be a lot more helpful than you realize. First of all, you will get a much better idea about which particular market your business should be sold in and whether or not you will have a lot of competitors. Sadly there are some markets that are just flooded with loads of the same business type. This means the advert you create needs to stand out more from competitors in order to give your business the best chance of being sold in a highly competitive sector.
Face facts: it's difficult to prove the exact value of any specific business as circumstances differ from business to business. Perception, then, needs to be your primary focus. It's your job to make sure that your potential buyers understand just how valuable your business is and how much it can be worth to them should they choose to buy it from you. Talk about the advantages of buying your business; don't worry about making comparisons. Let them know what kind of returns they can get out of it. People part with their money based upon their emotions; focus on those emotions and you will succeed. Make sure that your information your provide is valuable and not at all misleading as this could present problems further down the selling process. Until you make this obvious to buyers nobody is going to spend money on you.
Finally, the only thing that is going to set you apart from the rest of your competition is the quality of your advert and business opportunity. Lots of new business sellers think that selling their business will be relatively easy but when they start creating their advert and wait for enquiries, they end up realising it takes longer to find a buyer than they initially thought. You need to focus entirely upon creating a really great advert that explains in detail the business opportunity and organising all the business accounts and documents as well. Obviously, if your advert doesn't have enough information and the business accounts or documents don't look right, then any chance of attracting a potential buyer is dramatically reduced.
If you can implement all of the above advice you should see your business being sold very soon and hopefully making a good return on your investment.
