(Selling a company)

Understanding the Sales Process

More often than not, the art of selling a company is grossly misunderstood. For those venturing to sell their company, a lack of proper knowledge of the process can lead to a substantial negative impact on the outcome of the sale.

Rabican has been assisting companies through dispositions for more than 30 years. From planning and preparation to sale execution, Rabican’s proven processes ensure the highest likelihood of success when it comes to the stockholders’ goals and objectives for the sale.

Define Your Goals & Objectives

The sales process begins with determining what those goals and objectives are and defining them in a preliminary assignment document. More often than not the goals and objectives are multi-faceted, and consider much more than just price and/or value.

It is important that these are fully discussed and agreed upon before moving forward because they act as a guiding compass in the sales process and shape the foundation of the strategy employed. All this leads to helping Rabican ensure that the outcome of the sale is in line with what the client wants.

Keep Time On Your Side

One of the most important things to remember when selling your business is the importance of time. Keeping time on your side is absolutely essential towards achieving an optimal outcome from the sale. In fact, no one single issue presents itself more frequently as either an asset or a liability than does the availability or lack of time.
