selling a business

Selling a business is a complex process. It can also be your one opportunity to cash in on years of hard work. At Synergy Business Services, we help you navigate the entire process of selling your business, from setting a realistic asking price to finding a qualified buyer and closing the deal. Many sellers take on the job of trying to sell their own business, only to discover that they are either in over their heads, or are spending more time trying to sell the business than they are running it. At Synergy Business Services, we are dedicated exclusively to the business transfer process.

We have the resources necessary to sell your business for maximum value, and provide all of our clients with the following services:

Value your business. We use accepted industry standards to analyze the assets and cash flow of your business and arrive at an asking price. After providing us with tax returns and Profit & Loss statements, we will perform a Standard Valuation to determine a market based value for your business at no charge.

Market your business for sale. At Synergy Business Services, we are recognized for the quality of our marketing materials, and the thoroughness with which we prepare your business to go to market. Our firm will launch a professional marketing campaign to get your business maximum exposure. We create Seller Profiles for our general business clients that are second to none. We also have the capabilities to create a complete Confidential Selling Memorandum for middle market clients who are seeking a strategic buyer or acquisition.

Attract buyers. We leverage our network of potential buyers and professionals to generate interest in your business. While clients appreciate our regional presence, we also have the national – and international – reach to get your business in front of thousands of buyers. Our firm will carefully screen all potential buyers for the necessary interest, qualifications and financial wherewithal to complete a transaction.

Maintain confidentiality. One of the primary reasons for using Synergy Business Services is our commitment to maintaining strict confidentiality throughout the entire sales process. We require all interested buyers to sign a Confidentiality Agreement before releasing any proprietary or identifying information about your business, and handle the entire transaction with the utmost discretion.

Manage the transaction. Once an offer is in place, we handle negotiations in a professional manner and allow you to stay “at arm’s length,” so that you can continue to run your business. We work cooperatively with the other members of your professional team – including attorneys and accountants – to manage the details of financing, Due Diligence, and successfully closing the sale.
