WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW WHEN SELING YOUR COMPANY

1. Time is of the essence

Making sure you sell your business at the right time is crucial. You are taking a bigger risk the longer you wait. If something big comes up and you don’t have the resources to take care of it, it could sink your business.

Using a business broker can take many months or even years (We’ve spoken to businesses that have had their business up for 3 years!) and they often have unrealistic valuations. In summary, the business either never sells or it takes too long. You don’t want to waste your valuable time playing their tedious game. Get in contact with The JLAW Group today for quick and reliable advice.

Selling your business with The JLAW Group couldn’t be easier. Once we go through your options and you make a decision, we can then take all the difficulty and headache away from selling your business, it can literally be as simple as that. Our acquisitions are private and completed quickly, meaning you can save time and peace of mind.

2. How quickly do you want the cash?

The JLAW Group can get serious cash in your hand in as little as 6-8 weeks. This unbelievable timescale is why entrepreneurs trust The JLAW Group to get their business sold.

Don’t waste time you’ll never get back trying to reach an agreement with business brokers, simply contact The JLAW Group for a quick and reliable overview of your options. If we have enough information, we can even give you an offer on the spot. Our team includes financial analysts which ensures our predictions are accurate.  We want to get into a position where we can all agree the details and organise a quick sale for you.

We know the value of the business is determined by two things – what you want for it and what the market will pay. We help find a creative solution to bring those into balance quickly so you can get a quick sale agreed that meets your needs.

3. Do you want to keep your business running as usual? 

We are discrete at all stages of a business acquisition.  Other routes to market, such as business brokers walking around the workplace sometimes unsettling the staff, and public advertisements can make employees feel anxious. Don’t stress your staff with such a visible sale when we can be as discreet as you like and help you feel confident that new owners will take good care of your business and team members.

The JLAW Group specialise in private sales and one of our top priorities is discretion, meaning your staff don’t need to find out and they can continue to work in serenity. We’ve heard horror stories of key members of staff leaving after finding out the business is being sold, which can actually disrupt the sale.

The JLAW Group are keen to grow businesses we acquire and keep as many of the team members as possible.

4. Selling to large corporate companies All on one line

The amount of due diligence is immense, with every ‘i’ dotted and ‘t’ crossed. This keeps the sale in a sort of limbo, where no-one can move forward. Basically, meaning you still can’t receive your cash until every last little thing has been agreed upon.

These added delays are of no benefit to you. Large companies are trying to cover themselves in every way possible, without your wellbeing in mind. The JLAW Group put themselves in your shoes, so we know that there is no time to lose. We know you want to move quickly to sell your business, so why put unnecessary delays and complex paperwork in the way?

Here at The JLAW Group, we assume you don’t want to waste your time with these unnecessary holdups, which is exactly why we aim to buy your business through a more refined procedure. Helping you obtain the cash more quickly.

5. Have you thought about what you are going to do AFTER the business is sold?

Once you’ve received your cash, where do you plan on putting it? What are YOU going to do following the sale?

It’s not all about making a quick sale for us, we want to make sure you have a plan, and that our purchase can help you achieve that plan. This is why The JLAW Group work with you to help set out that plan to ensure you are well looked after and confident following the sale.

Navigating around the sale of a business is confusing enough, don’t pressure yourself any further. Let The JLAW Group do all the heavy lifting and walk you through each step of the process so you can live the stress-free life you always wanted.

6. Consider what do you want to happen to your legacy

Including your staff following the sale? Understandably, some people are not overly troubled on this aspect, but it’s always good to have an idea.

We are partnering with business owners we acquire to continue their legacy and build from the foundations they have in place.  We want to grow the business and where possible look to retain staff.  It’s important to let us know what you want. 

Many of our clients tell us that they want to keep the business operations as usual even after the company is sold. Obviously, you wouldn’t want to see your hard work building the company go to waste. The JLAW Group take immense care of every company we take on. We pride ourselves on maintaining our businesses well.

Some buyers will asset strip the entire company, which can leave valued employees out of work. Here at The JLAW Group, we won’t do that. Instead, we prefer to take on the business, allowing it to grow and join our collection of prosperous companies.

If you care about the company you’re selling and don’t want to see it closed down, contact The JLAW Group today for expert advice on how to sell your business.

7. One of the worst feelings in life is regret

And forcing yourself to continue working for a business you don’t want is certainly an undesirable outcome. You can Improve your quality of life by just contacting us and talking through your options so you can make an educated decision on your way forward.

When we speak to clients, they are often fed up with the business, working too many hours and constantly firefighting the issues that come up. During these uncertain times, what if something unexpected were to happen to your business? It’s very possible that one extra obstacle would be enough to send your business over the edge.

If you find yourself working in a stressful position within your own business, you must ask yourself why you continue to do so. How would your life change without the burden of running a business, and how would the cash you free up allow you to live a more relaxed lifestyle.

If you feel even the slightest uncertainty about your business, don’t hesitate to contact The JLAW Group - our friendly team will analyse your current situation and help provide the most reliable options for your future. We can even provide an offer for the business to help give you an idea of the potential cash you are sitting on.
