Business sales, like companies themselves, are all different. The average time frame for a business sale is six to nine months, but where a company falls in that range depends on various factors. Here, we will discuss the variables determining the length of the sale process.

Gathering Information

It takes two to six weeks to prepare a CIM or confidential information memorandum, which confidentially markets a company to interested buyers. The CIM describes a company’s products, services, history, growth, performance, and core competencies. Completing the memorandum involves the gathering of a significant amount of data, and the availability of that data largely determines how long the process takes. During the preparation of a confidential information memorandum, a broker will put together a list of private equity and strategic buyers. Therefore, you should be prepared to wait if you want to sell your business.

The Marketing Phase

During this time, an owner or broker markets the company to potential buyers. Marketing is an overwhelming process for many business owners, especially those with a focus on confidentiality and privacy. Business brokers should protect companies’ identities while presenting their profiles to marketing sites and pre-qualified buyers.

Management Meetings

When a business is put up for sale, managers typically meet at the facility. However, if there’s a potential for disclosure conflicts, these meetings may take place elsewhere. Serious business buyers respect sellers’ need for privacy. During managers’ meetings, prospective investors and buyers will learn about the company and discuss the details of an upcoming transaction.

Area of Industry

The time required to sell a business depends on the owner’s access to potential buyers, as well as the company’s industry. For instance, the demand for information technology businesses is high, so IT companies tend to sell faster than those in more specialized markets.

The Company’s Location

A business’ location also determines the level of buyer interest and the speed with which it sells. If a company is located in an up-and-coming urban area, it will likely be more attractive to prospective purchasers.

Closing and Buyer/Seller Due Diligence

Once a buyer makes an offer and negotiations have taken place, due diligence starts. On average, it may take a few weeks to several months, as a buyer reviews the company’s contracts, leases, financial statements, and more. Here, a business broker’s specialized guidance will simplify and expedite the process. From offer acceptance to due diligence and closing, it typically takes two to three months to sell a business.

Working With a Broker is Easier Than a DIY Sale

The sale of a business is a complicated and time-consuming process, with timing being affected by numerous factors. Partnering with a broker allows owners to get the best possible price while moving through the process quickly and easily. When owners meet with brokers early on, they get valuable insights, establish a valuation timeline, and avoid the most common mistakes.
