CONFIDENTIALITY IS EVERYTHING TO US

Remember everything is strictly confidential, typically we take a quick look at the business then suggest the appropriate broker who we feel will do the absolute best job with selling your business. We have a small boutique team with specialist brokers, most that have been with us a substantial period of time. We only take on a few listings each as apposed to other brokerage firms as we only list what we feel we can sell.

 

APPRAISAL FOR YOUR BUSINESS

What is typically needed to give and accurate appraisal?

Bare Minimum

  • Last year’s Profit & Loss Statements weather it be internal or accountant produced
  • A PC Sum of Stock and Book Value Plant (plant replacement cost would be handy also)

Ideally

  • 2-5 Years full accounts – depending on the business size (3 years is typically fine)
  • Current internal accounts to the most recent month or so
  • A forecast if you have one – with reasons why for the increase or decrease
  • A PC Sum for Stock
  • A full Plant list including everything that is to go with the sale
    • If you wish to retain plant items please remove or cross out
  • A copy of your current lease

Nice to have

  • A list of key employees
  • Does it have a general manager? Can anyone be promoted?
  • A forecast

WHY CHOOSE BARKER BUSINESS?

Barker Business Brokerage is a small, family run, boutique agency

We have a team (under 30) of high calibre, professional brokers working for us, most of whom have owned their own business before so have an excellent understanding of what both vendors and buyers are experiencing throughout the entire process.

We leave you to get back to what you're good at, running your business

We have owned and operated businesses before and really understand the day to day demands upon you.

We may already have a purchaser for your business!

We have purchasers looking for businesses nationwide and in a variety of different fields. We are likely to already have someone on our database who is interested in your specific business.

 

A team environment

This means that we all share our information and buyers, opening up the database and ensuring that we can get you the best possible price for your business. We only list good, solid businesses that we know we can sell And because we only take on the best, we have fewer listings so can concentrate on putting as much time and energy as possible into the sale of your business. Other agencies are happy to have 40 or 50 listings with each broker when will they be working on the sale of your business?

OUR PROMISE TO YOU

We promise to contact you every week with an update on how its all going

Your business is more than a job, its your life. There is nothing more frustrating than feeling out of the loop during the process of selling it. We promise we will contact you every week with an update of how the process is going because we understand how important it is to you to have some control over this process and to know what is happening.

We are proactive

We put together intelligent information on your business and thoroughly monitor all advertising. We test and measure all advertising, changing course when we need to, ensuring your business is being targeted at the right people.

Concerned about confidentiality? Don't be

We fully understand the importance of keeping the sale of your business confidential and we are experts in marketing and generating enquiries in the strictest of confidence.

 

Once we have sold your business, we will refund your marketing costs

As an added bonus, if you opt for our standard marketing package, we promise to refund this marketing fee as a thanks to you for using us to market and sell your business.
