Selling A Business

Every CEO, Owner, or stockholder comes to a decision point on whether or not to sell the business – we call this “Exit Strategy Time”. The reasons run the full gamut – for retirement, health reasons, succession issues, the desire to merge with another company, or a need to just have someone else take the company to the next level, or you’re at the point in your life and want to enjoy the fruits of your success. In other words - It's time for you to recoup the "ROI" on your investment!

We undertake a comprehensive strategic review and financial analysis of each client to determine the specific metrics that will influence value, and then position the client so as to maximize those values with potential strategic buyers or investors.

For other business owners the acquisition of a company, or bolt-on product line is a business option worth considering and acting on.

Whichever direction is taken, many business owners are unfamiliar with “the process” and all of the steps that have to be taken – not only to do it right, but ensure that what you do is successful in the end.

Selling a business requires an “Exit Strategy”. Call us to begin talking about yours. We can advise you on what things need to be done in preparation for selling the business.

Selling a company can be a complex process that requires preparation, the art of negotiating with qualified buyers, and intimate market knowledge. We at Hartford Business Brokers have that expertise to package the company for sale, locate a qualified buyer, and follow through the complicated steps.
