Selling your Business to a Foreign Buyer

Managing a business and presenting it to suitable potential buyers is a very complicated task. Selling your business on international level is much more difficult than selling in your own country.

Find a team that has much experience as you can possibly afford because in the long process you will encounter complications along the way.

Develop an in-depth marketing plan were you can include your history and nature of the business, five year financial overview, business operations, business management and employees, competitive analysis, industry and market expectations, and business strategy and projections. This will be used to sell your business, so it is important that it is prepared well to project a professional image to potential business buyers.

Always screen your potential buyers through your broker regardless of where they come from.

This will also minimize the chances that competitors will find out that you are selling your business. Confidentiality is essential in business selling.
