Sell Your Business
Start here if you are thinking about selling. Read how the process works, tell Rob about your business, and upload records privately. Nothing is shared without your permission.
How Selling Works
Every sale is different, but most follow these steps. Rob walks you through each one.
- 01
Pricing analysis
Rob reviews your financials, assets, lease and market to arrive at a realistic price range and explains how buyers and lenders will look at the numbers.
- 02
Representation
You sign a listing agreement that sets out what Rob does for you, how the business is marketed and how he is paid. He is clear about whom he represents before anything else happens.
- 03
Marketing
A confidential profile goes to qualified buyers and the marketplaces that fit your business. The name and location stay private where confidentiality matters.
- 04
Buyer screening
Interested buyers complete a questionnaire and sign an NDA. Rob checks experience, available funds and financing before any confidential information is released.
- 05
Offers
Rob helps you compare offers on price, terms, financing, contingencies and timing, and negotiates on your behalf.
- 06
Purchase agreement
Accepted terms go into a written purchase agreement. Your attorney and accountant review it before you sign.
- 07
Due diligence
The buyer verifies financials, leases, licenses and equipment. Rob keeps requests organized and the timeline on track.
- 08
Closing
Financing, lease assignment, escrow and final documents come together, and ownership transfers.
- 09
Transition
You help the new owner with training and introductions for the agreed period so the business keeps running smoothly.
