As a business owner, you've poured your heart and soul into building your company. The day might come when you consider selling your business, but the journey from contemplation to transaction is far from straightforward. One of the most powerful realizations in this process is that while you may be considering multiple avenues for a potential sale until you have offers, these remain options. Until you have a choice to sell, the only real choice you have is to continue running your business just as you did yesterday. However, strategically exploring the market and engaging with various buyer types can transform your myriad options into informed choices.

You can take several steps to prepare your business for a sale that can significantly improve the amount of value you extract from a buyer. The factors that affect how potential acquirers will perceive your company apply whether you plan to exit your business in the short, medium, or long term.
You have decided it is finally time to take the next step in your exit strategy. You are ready to sell your business or seek a growth partner. Whether you are seeking retirement or looking for a strategic partner to assist you with future growth, you will want to get the best offer from a prospective buyer with the best cultural fit. In Benchmark International’s experience, utilizing a bids-invited process can help you to achieve these goals.
