Is it important to Work with a Broker that is Local to you in Seattle?
For mid-market businesses (sales $1M – $25m), it can be advantageous to work with a broker that is a knowledgeable expert in your geographic market. Many business owners in this size range find it surprising that their best buyer is not a business owner of a similar business, but instead a local high-net-worth individual, Private Equity, or Capital group that is active in your industry space. Working with a knowledgeable business broker that has fresh, active buy-side contacts in these areas will not only increase the number of potential buyers – but Exit Equity is the best at helping these connections drive the best transaction value for your business.
How does Exit Equity Drive the Best Value for your Business when you are Exiting?
In addition to local knowledge and expertise, several states require business brokers and intermediaries to carry the Real Estate Licensing in order to facilitate the sale of a business within the state. Washington state is one of those states–and Exit Equity LLC is equipped with its Washington state Real Estate Licensing. We are able to assist in the sale or long-term lease of your business’s physical presence. Contact us today, and we’ll share our unique approach.
What do I do First – Sell my Seattle-Based Business or the Business Building?
Do you own the facility in addition to your business – that is a smart investment! There’s a very particular sequence of events that should occur when selling your business when you are also the facility owner. Selling one before the other can lead to you losing the overall value of the deal.
Schedule a confidential call with an Exit Equity team member to discuss the correct approach to selling your business and associated real estate/facility.
