The first thing to do in selling a company is to let your staff know of your intended action. This might prevent a situation where they hear about it from third parties which may create panic. It might also ensure that they get the true version of the story and reasons for selling. Next you must find a company broker to assist you in this process. They will deal with all technical aspects since they are experts at this. They may be found through newspaper classifieds, trade magazines or through the internet where many of them can be contacted. Preparing financial statements will help you to give them to prospective buyers. They need these documents to get a clear picture of the state of health of the company. Outsourcing this to an independent accounting firm will give the documents the required legitimacy and credibility. A prospectus needs to be formulated which will cover every aspect of the business. It is advisable to have attorneys backing you because they can advise you on the legal requirements. This will ensure that you are compliant with company laws and tax legislation. Decide on a buyer that either has the money to buy or has the ability to borrow successfully. This will prevent negotiations with people who are not serious about the purchase. You also want to prevent a situation where the buyer fails to complete the transaction because they are failing to raise the required money. When you are selling a company you also need to provide compensation for your staff especially if they have done well by you. Things such as their pension as well as retirement annuities must be handled carefully. They must ideally be transferred to their new employers without any interference with them to ensure that they do not lose any value.
