Highest & Best Price — Compass Will Pursue It.
Not surprisingly it can be difficult to procure the highest price for your business while maintaining confidentiality. Nevertheless the experience and observations of Compass BSAS team increase the average sale price of its listed businesses by about 20%.
Time & Expense — Compass Will Cover It
Your Compass business brokers invest heavily in time, money, and staff when you list with us. We prepare, package, market, pre-qualify buyers, negotiate, facilitate due diligence, manage the process and close your transaction. Although tactics differ from business to business, promoting your enterprise and closing its sale is a campaign measured in weeks, months and sometimes years. The hard dollar expense associated with the packaging and marketing process will cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars to appropriately present to the market. The value we bring to the table more than covers the cost to you as our client.
A Level Playing Field — Compass Insures It
If you’re selling a business for the first time, you will need experienced support to help equalize the negotiations with the buyer’s representative(s). Many buyers are educated in the process, deal points, and alternatives in the market when buying a business. They may have advisors that include accountants, lawyers, operations management, and experienced deal making executives or brokers. By teaming with Compass you enjoy the effective representation that’s critical to equalize or level the playing field. A skilled intermediary will help ensure that you are not taken advantage of and should help increase your sale price through effective negotiation. In addition we help reduce liability through proper packaging, disclosure, and contractual points.
Methodology & Process Management — Compass Demands It
It’s said that “the devil is in the details.” That’s why we are committed to constantly review and improve our practices, documentation and communication. There are so many personal (and sometimes emotional) details in the sale of business that only through research, experience, and process management do we enjoy a smooth and successful transition.
