Process of Selling a Business

Valuation

Let’s begin by determining the current market value of your company. We utilize our extensive network of SBA lenders to pre-qualify your sales price for potential buyers, ensuring that it aligns with market expectations.

2 Listing

We have an extensive network of qualified buyers and investors actively seeking quality businesses. In addition to leveraging our network, we will list your business on prominent buyer platforms to maximize visibility. Our primary objective is to secure the right buyer for your business, with the highest sales price, in the shortest possible time. However, we understand that not every potential buyer is the right fit, and we are committed to ensuring you feel confident and comfortable with the individual taking over your business.

Due Diligence and Negotiations

We help sellers organize and prepare key documents—such as financial statements, contracts, and licenses—ensuring all materials are accurate and ready for review. We also assist in negotiating any issues that arise during due diligence, facilitating smooth discussions and resolving concerns to prevent delays or deal breakdowns

4 Coordination with 3rd Parties

Baton Strategies acts as the central point of contact, coordinating communication between lawyers, CPAs, lenders, and other third parties to streamline the transaction. We facilitate the exchange of key documents, ensuring compliance and accuracy while managing timelines to keep the process on track. Additionally, Baton Strategies assists in securing financing by working closely with lenders and presenting necessary information, helping ensure a smooth and efficient deal.

5 Closing

We are just as committed to closing the deal as you are. Unlike other business brokers who charge upfront fees, we operate on a success-based model and only receive a commission upon successfully closing the transaction. Once we pass the baton, we celebrate a job well done together.

Maximize your Business Value

Plan Ahead

Preparing your business for sale requires meticulous planning over several years. Always operate your business as if it might be sold soon.

Boost Your Customer Base

A large, diverse customer base makes your business more attractive to buyers. Avoid relying on a few key customers, as this can deter potential buyers due to the associated risks.

Adopt a Growth Mindset

Prioritize growth with strategies for both short-term and long-term expansion. A clear growth plan signals to buyers that your business is poised for future success.

Understand Your Business

Have a realistic view of your business's strengths and weaknesses. Consider working with a business broker or contact our team to get an objective assessment.
