Selling Your Business Is Our Only Business.

What You Need to Know.

At Viking Mergers & Acquisitions, we’ve sold enough businesses to have a clear picture of what makes a business attractive to potential buyers. If you’re thinking about selling a business, here’s what you need to know first:

What Is Your Business Really Worth?

Having a realistic valuation of your business will be key to pricing it well and selling it effectively without leaving money on the table. Insist on working with a business broker who has a proven valuation process and a track record of successfully closed sales. We offer free valuations as the first step, even if you aren’t sure you want to sell your business.

What Does It Cost to Sell a Business?

When you’re considering working with a business broker, knowing about their upfront fees and commissions is important. So is having an idea of fees to expect from other participants in the process, like the legal team that will close the sale. Choose a business broker who is completely forthcoming when it comes to discussing fees.

How Can You Protect Your Confidentiality When You Put The Business On The Market?

Keeping your personal and business identity confidential is imperative to ensuring a smooth sales transaction—but some brokers will send your sensitive financial information and other materials to anyone who requests them, without vetting them to ensure they’re a serious buyer. It’s crucial you choose a business broker who makes your confidentiality their top priority.

What’s The Process Of Selling A Business?

Selling a business typically doesn’t happen overnight; instead, it takes time. What process will the business broker be following to sell your business, and does that process have a proven track record? Work with a business broker who fully explains how the process works and is there throughout the process to answer any questions that arise.

Who Will Buy My Business?

Depending on the type of business you have, its size and its value, anyone from an individual owner/operator to a financial buyer, a strategic buyer, or even a private equity firm may be interested. Insist on partnering with a business broker who has experience working with the types of buyers your business is most likely to attract.
