BMI’s Process for Selling Your Business
BMI’s process for selling a business includes a thorough 15 step process for navigating the sale of privately held businesses. There are three major phases in the planning and execution of the business sale transaction process:
Phase I: Selling Assessment and Business Valuation
Together we discuss your needs, assess the company and the best timing for selling your business and a range of values you can expect to receive from prospective buyers. This is done at no charge and before any obligation on your part. Depending on your situation this could take place quickly or over several years.
