The best time to prepare a business for sale isn’t when it hits the market — it’s years before.
Last Friday, Wilsons Business Brokers were proud to co-sponsor the Accountants Training Day at The Newcastle Club alongside Worrells. Thank you to everyone who attended — I really appreciated the positive feedback on our presentation.
One of the key points I made was this: a business that relies on the owner is harder to sell.
That point was reinforced again this week.
We received an offer on a local business — subject to the confirmation on staff numbers being confirmed in a specific dept of that business.
Buyers pay for structure, stability and reduced risk.
A well-built management team doesn’t just make a business easier to run — it makes it easier to sell, and often at a better price.
