Buying a Business
Here’s how we will help you buy a business that is right for You.
Statistics show that on average buyers spend 18 months looking for a business before they buy and only 20% of those who start exploring the option of buying a business end up purchasing one.
Buying a business is very different to buying any other asset. Being intangible by definition, business purchases are difficult and are not a simple process. Sellers are also reluctant to devulge trade secrets and other information e.g. Financials to prospective buyers in fear of damaging their business asset. As a result, buyers are wary about risking their investment in a business based on face value. For 80% of potential buyers, this risk is too high.
You want to buy a business that will reward you for the risks that you are taking with a good return on investment, to provide you with the lifestyle you desire or both.
So how do you amid all the confusion find the business that is right for you?
Don’t worry, there is a way. Although we can’t make the decision for you or guarantee success, as business brokers we can provide strategies, methods and information that will help you in your search for your business.
The following information is the kind of help you will receive from us.
Transparent presentation will save you money and time.
Prior to listing businesses, a full understanding of the business including operations, management, sales and marketing, production, financials and employees is gained.
This is so that you can be presented with clear and necessary information that you need to make an informed decision of whether the business is what you are looking for.
The business owner is also provided with a checklist of documents that needs to be prepared and made available prior to listing to ensure that the due diligence process of the buyer is completed in a timely and efficient manner.
All of this means that you will be able to assess whether this is the right business for you before you need to engage accountants and solicitors saving you time and money.
Only quality business listed
We do not wish to waste either your or the sellers time. That’s why during the business preparation process if we decide that the business is not fit for sale in it’s current state or required documents cannot be acquired in a timely manner, the business will not be listed until a time that it is ready.
We’ll be with you throughout the whole process.
We understand that buying a business is a big decision and that sometimes you just want to have doubts clarified. That is why we are available to talk to you at any time of the day including after hours and on weekends to assist you with all of your queries. For example, if you would like to meet a supplier/landlord we can arrange a meeting and accompany you if you wish.
No request is too small or too big. For example, if you need help in preparing a business plan to present to landlords or banks, we can assist you and point you in the right direction.
Help with finance or legal.
If you need to borrow money, or need legal advise or need some help during the investigation of the business we have a large network of solicitors, accountants, financial brokers and business advisors available to you.
All of our contacts operate independently to Xcllusive and do not pay us any commission. This ensures that you receive independent and unbiased advise to help you during the process of buying your business.
After-purchase support.
When you purchase a business from us, you will receive a free 12 month membership to the Xcllusive business club. This will entitle you to attend seminars, workshops and round table meetings that we hold where you can gain knowledge that can help you improve your business and your bottom line. In addition to this, you are welcome to call us at any time if you have any general business, marketing or any other queries.
