1. Maximising Value, Minimising Costs
We've created a streamlined business sales service that keeps costs low but value high.
We achieve this by creating and managing a marketing campaign that provides clients with access to the expertise, contacts and buyer networks we have developed during our many years in the corporate deals market.
Our service reduces the costs yet often enhances the chances of a deal, particularly for the owners of smaller businesses, by focusing on where we best add value and eliminating the inefficiencies of a traditional sales service.
Our service starts from £295. Business owners work hard for their reward at exit, they deserve to maximise what they keep.
↑ Back to Top2. Professional Sales & Marketing Campaign
With 100+ years experience in the corporate deals market, we know a thing or two about how and where to sell a business. We have an established and proven sales infrastructure and utilise this on behalf of our clients, to create and manage a professional sales & marketing campaign that helps them sell their business.
Within minutes of registering with Sell My Business Online, we're able to circulate headline sales information across a sophisticated network of potential buyers. Quickest result from client registration to contact with a buyer? Just 20 minutes.
We don't just passively advertise, we pro-actively assess each business and construct a marketing campaign to suit; the local fish & chip shop requires a different approach to the million pound consultancy.
These marketing campaigns are based around our knowledge, contacts and intuition of a business sales market we know extremely well. Our clients inherit this expertise.
↑ Back to Top3. Generating Buyers & Deals
Alongside good preparation, the key to selling a business and achieving best value is attracting high volume, good quality buyers. It's often a numbers game. We therefore focus our campaigns on where we can attract the right volume and quality of buyer. Part of this process includes creating and circulating headline sales information into a wide range of different channels to market, including;
i. our own website and buyer database;
ii. a wide range of different business sale websites (we know which ones work & which ones don't);
iii. corporate finance networks, online exchanges & forums;
iv. social media networks inc. twitter & linkedin;
v. professional buyer networks (accountants, business brokers, financiers, business angels and many high net worth individuals) that we've personally developed over many years.
We can dig out buyers and deals for all sizes of business and are confident that if a buyer exists for a business, we will find them. It's why we offer our money back guarantee.
↑ Back to Top4. Delivering Expert Guidance & Support
Our core service is about delivering a marketing & sales campaign that helps clients achieve a low cost sale of their business.
We keep the costs so low by focusing on that core service and therefore most of our clients handle the buyers direct (sometimes with the assistance of their accountants or other trusted advisors).
However, we do understand that selling a business is not always easy and that complications can arise. Therefore we also provide email advice lines, dedicated advisors and, if required, chargeable access to MBA qualified advisors who can help with a wide range of additional advisory services.
↑ Back to Top5. Providing 24/7 Access to Deal Information
Our clients receive access to the Sell My Business Online deal management system. This system provides 24/7 information about the sales process with updates about every buyers who has contacted us via about each business. It contains all buyer contact details, a note of any particular questions raised and additional comments provided by our team in response to particular enquiries.
The system is a conduit between the market, our team and the seller. It provides regular updates about the level and quality of market interest + our own expert feedback about any changes we believe will assist in dealing with the buyer and driving forward a deal.
Our deal management system is unique in the marketplace. It provides the seller with immediate access to all the key information about the marketing process. No longer is there any need to wait for agents to return (or not return) calls or for them to open up the office on a Monday morning. Detailed information is available to the seller at anytime and to fit in with their schedule.
6. No Lock-In Contracts to Sign
Another traditional frustration is with the sales agents contract. These contracts are often exclusive and onerous, with penalty charges for termination. If an agent fails to perform or the market isn't interested, they still receive a handsome fee if the seller wants to leave or change course.
It's a particular problem with the 'no sale, no fee' agent. Selling a smaller business is rarely easy so volume agents tend to cherry pick the best and ignore the rest. It's very demoralising for owners, motivated to sell, who find themselves trapped with under performing agents. More importantly, it can have a very negative impact on the value of a business.
Less 'no sale, no fee'; More 'no sale, large redemption fee'.
Sell My Business Online has no contracts, no false promises, no redemption charges. With no contract in place we're constantly forced to provide evidence of our value which means .... if we don't perform, our clients walk.
7. No Sales Commission to Pay
Most volume agents aim to do something similar to us. They create a sales profile, circulate it to the market (though I suspect not to the corners we achieve) and put buyer and seller together.
This is no bad thing, we believe that a passionate seller is often better at selling their business than a disinterested agent with little knowledge about the business but, why then pay the agent thousands of pounds for being a glorified matchmaker?
Sell My Business Online packages are fixed fee and start at just £295.
... and finally. We know our service contains the best value service anywhere in the small business sales market. We also believe that we provide a service with the greatest level of integrity. When people commit to spending money on our service; We commit to doing everything we can to make them think it's worth every penny.
