Business Advice | back to services page

You should contact us before you commence negotiations with a business broker, or in fact even the seller, or any prospective business that interests you.

Your initial presentation to the seller, or the seller's agents, will establish your level of knowledge, and thus your bargaining power, at the start of the deal, and that will colour your ability to negotiate right through to the end.

You should be well versed in the type of business you are considering, with the market that you are targeting, your desire to return on your investment, and your ability to achieve that return.

Business contracts should include the ability for you and your financial and legal advisors to view not only the standard documents that historically show the performance of a prospective business for sale, but also the true figures, which are not always available under the "standard" wording under many contracts for business sale.

Should you not have a business accountant who can provide you with the forensic ability to interpret business results, we are in a position to refer you to accountants with a track record in that field.
