Selling A Business
Selling a business can be an extremely trying experience.
Consider This
When a doctor falls ill, he does not diagnose himself, he seeks advice from a fellow doctor?
When you consider selling your business, as tempting as it is to take it on yourself, you will be well advised to seek advice from a colleague whose business it is to sell businesses, your business. Your accountant and your attorney are just that, financial advisors and legal advisors. If you have a toothache, do you see a doctor or do you see a dentist, your attorney and accountant are very important advisors during the sale process but they are not going to be able to give you the best advice on the sale of your business as selling businesses is not there core focus, ultimately you make the final decision.
On Selecting A Business Broker
The business brokerage you choose should understand your needs and requirements. They should be equipped to handle the sale of your business, with the appropriate knowledge of your industry and know who the industry players are. They need to be registered with the correct authorities and should have been established for a reasonable period of time.

Succeed Business Network does not take on every business offered to us to sell and therefore we don’t expect every company in South Africa to use our services. Being exclusive, we won’t compromise our standards and for this reason we prefer to be appointed on an exclusive basis. It’s about trust, belief, peace of mind and most importantly it’s about relationships. We start out total strangers but want to end up friends.
