whats the selling process of a business ?
« on: December 11, 2009, 12:11:36 am »
Ok, so as some may know I'm selling up my business and moving area.

I'm going to be advertising for sale in January and was wondering people views on the stages of selling up.

1st: advertising.... Where ?

2nd: what should I tell / not tell initial enquirys

3rd: someone is genuine... What's the process there on ?

I'm selling as a business... Custys, kit, vehicle, leaflets & mobile... The whole lot

Only those who risk going too far will truly know how far they can actually go

1  advertise here, ebay, local paper, with how much you want

2   tell them the reason you are moving, how long contracts are for etc,

3  get solicitors involved to draw up a contract of sale, to protect both of you,   listing what is included and not included in the sale etc, any one who is genuine, should not have a problem with this,  u might have to work with them for a month  ie 2 weeks you make the money  2 weeks he makes the money, to show him the ropes   this will look better on you, rather than some one who takes the money and runs


is ur company ltd?

id make the sale swift .  he might be a crap worker or the customers dont like him,so get the money(in cash only ) and go .  show him your customer list and let him choose a day to tag along if he wants but dont give him the list .

Different van and different equipment krave

Customers always see the van, so its part of the window cleaning.

What should I put in a letter to the customers ? Was thinking of a picture of the new guy so they know who he is.
