Selling a business

Selling a business can be a time-consuming process packed with headaches. It doesn't have to be. American Business Brokers can help with:

Knowledge
Deciding to sell your business is the easy part. How to go about it is another problem altogether. Setting a price, advertising, negotiating with a prospective buyer, and a sea of legal and financial details need to be addressed. Also, most accounting in a privately held company is done to minimize tax obligations and may not portray the company in the best light; we deal with this problem every day.

Confidentiality
We can market your business without employees, customers, or competitors knowing that it is for sale, this is important to the smooth continuation of the business during the selling process.

Time
We can save you time and frustration when it comes to selling your business. We're the business sales experts who can guide you through every aspect of the selling process - from arriving at a fair market price to handling financial arrangements and closing the transaction. We are good at what we do. That’s why so many of our clients have sold their businesses quickly and at a great price.

Marketing
Because so many businesses go on the market each year, selling a business is a competitive ordeal. We can expose your business to prospective buyers not only in NJ, but also throughout the United States. In addition, we screen all buyers to determine their financial qualifications. Because we work with each potential buyer in finding the right business for his or her needs, the prospects we bring to you are genuinely interested in your business as well as financially capable of making a purchase. Only a small percentage of people who inquire about a business eventually purchase. While this can be maddening if you try to sell your business alone, it’s a big plus if you are working with ABB. We receive dozens of inquiries each day; the likelihood of finding the right buyer early in the process is increased.

Negotiations
Determining the right price is crucial. We will arrive at a fair market price that you can feel good about, because we know the prices of similar businesses in New Jersey in addition to trends at work in the market. Because we screen all inquiries, then schedule meeting with serious prospects, you receive the combined benefits of convenience and absolute confidentiality. We handle negotiations in a clean, patient, professional manner that keeps the business issues clearly in focus, rather than clouded by emotions of the buyers and sellers.

Success
We are well-trained professionals who are aware of your needs. In fact, many of us have experience as business owners. Wether you are ready to sell your business now or are just beginning to think about it, call us for a confidential, no cost appointment. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have. ABB can make selling your business a simple rewarding experience from your first meeting with us to the day you turn over the keys to the new owner.

Exposure
We will expose your business to the highest number of potential buyers through traditional marketing methods, plus national exposure through our referral network and web advertising. We also maintain a large database of buyers that are waiting to find the right business for them or expand their operations into new markets
