Making the decision that I’m going to sell my business in Charlotte NC presents several difficulties. You will, perhaps, benefit by building a professional team around you to help complete the sale. This will include your business broker, lawyer, accountant and financial adviser. What will they all cost and will they help you achieve a better business valuation, to cover their costs, as the sale completes?

Building the Fees into Your Business Sale Cost

Once you understand the expected fees from each professional, you will know whether you are going to pay these from your business cash flow, from the sale of the business or your expenses.

Your accountant and financial adviser will be able to answer these questions to your best advantage and after considering all the taxation implications.

Your business broker may charge a fee, depending on the work you ask them to complete. Instead of charging a fee, some business brokers will charge a percentage of the deal which only needs paying when they introduce a prospective purchaser who completes the purchase.

With choosing your professional team, it pays to take advice from friends and colleagues if you are building new members into your team. Just because a company charges the most does not mean they will bring you the best deal. Conversely, the cheapest company may not be the best to help you complete the sale.

By checking reviews, taking testimonials and knowing more about the professionals in your team, you will feel more confident about hiring them when you choose to announce that they can sell your business in Charlotte NC.

For each of the individuals or companies in your team, you should compare whether you are going to pay a percentage of the final sale price, a fixed fee or an hourly fee. Which is best for you and your cash flow?
