If it becomes known that a business is for sale, it can be destructive to the relationships the business has in place among its employees, creditors, competitors and customers. Weakened relationships can deteriorate a companys position and thereby make it less valuable. In order to help maintain confidentiality, we require that all buyers sign a non-disclosure agreement and a buyer profile prior to releasing any confidential information about your business. Only a limited amount of information should be disclosed prior to determining if the potential buyer is either legitimate or capable of completing the transaction.
Selling a business is a difficult undertaking. An owner trying to sell himself or herself may find themselves distracted from his or her most important responsibility, running the business. If the sale is not handled properly, the process can damage the business irreparably. What if competitors find out the business is for sale? What about employees? Suppliers? Customers?

We believe experienced, professional expertise is necessary to sell a business. Inexperience can be a terrible handicap in such an important endeavor. For the process to work, potential buyers need to be first identified, then qualified, before any information about the business is disclosed. The buyers need to be followed-up after presentations are made. An owner following a buyer may weaken his or her negotiating strength. A third party, such as a broker, is useful because of their relative objectivity and experience, especially when the process gets delicate.

A full-time, professional business broker with extensive experience, references, and a pool of buyers already qualified, who has the experience and resources to efficiently and effectively sell businesses, working with an owner and his or her advisors is the best combination to sell a business.

At KeyStone, most of our representatives have owned their own business before becoming business brokers. We have been in your "shoes". We understand your concerns and your goals.
