Selling A Business: An Outline of the ProForma West Selling Process
| Step 1 |
|
A confidential, in-person meeting is held to gain an understanding of your business and your objectives for a successful exit. There is no cost or obligation to you for this initial meeting and review.
|
| Step 2 |
|
Once retained, we will perform a Market Value Assessment of your company to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the factors that drive the value of your company and to provide an objective basis for evaluating offers when they are tendered.
|
| Step 3 |
|
We craft the professional presentation today’s more sophisticated buyers require when evaluating a business opportunity. At a minimum, this will include an in-depth financial analysis and summary, a one-page Confidential Business Opportunity sheet, and a comprehensive Confidential Business Review. Our goal is to highlight the essential elements of your business in a compelling and professional manner that inspires additional interest.
|
| Step 4 |
|
A local, regional, national and possibly international marketing plan that is appropriate for your business is developed and implemented to locate a qualified buyer that will offer the best possible combination of price and terms for your business.
|
| Step 5 |
|
Plant tours and initial meetings between buyers and client are arranged.
|
| Step 6 |
|
ProForma West manages offers and the negotiation process, and also develops a final Purchase and Sale Agreement in conjunction with both the buyer’s and seller’s legal counsel.
|
| Step 7 |
|
Working with all the parties involved, including the escrow attorney, ProForma West manages the deal to a successful closing!
|
Our ability to manage offers and negotiate the best possible deal—while keeping it on track to a successful closing—is one of the most critical aspects of our job. All business intermediaries are not created equal—our people are uniquely qualified through training and experience to get the job done. Remember, you do deserve to work with a professional team when the time comes to sell your business.
Business Valuations
You know what your house is worth, how much is in your checking and savings accounts and in your IRA, but do you know what your most important and complex asset is worth and how it is valued? It’s surprising how many business owners haven’t considered the importance of understanding the value of their business. This is critical for business planning purposes, but may also be important for estate and retirement planning as well.
ProForma West provides business valuation services to buyers and sellers of small and mid-sized companies in every industry. Our Business Valuation Experts have the credentials, experience, and tools to quickly evaluate and establish the value of your business, regardless of industry or location.
We offer four different business valuation service levels, scaled to meet your specific needs:
- Limited Scope Business Valuation
- Full Scope Business Valuation

- Middle-Market Business Valuation
Every business owner who is serious about understanding how to maximize the value of their business should have periodic valuations performed.
