Today's post is from a Guest Blogger, her name is Linda 
Harley and she runs Queensland Child Care Sales.  If you are 
looking at selling your centre she has some tips to think 
about before you put it on the market.
You can only sell your business once. You do not get a 
second chance and you cannot go back and do it again. 
Most buyers want to pay the right price; this does not mean 
they want to pay as little as possible, just fair market value.  
It takes a lot of hard work to build a business to a point 
where it is successful and if you have done this and now are 
thinking of selling it, there is no doubt you have a dollar 
figure in mind you feel it is well worth. Unfortunately all of 
your hard work doesn't really matter if your business is not 
making enough money to warrant what you're asking for or 
is poorly presented to a buyer to get them excited.
What you need a is an accurate reflection of what the 
market value of your business is going to be in order to 
determine a price that is going to be realistic. This is where 
utilizing the services of an experienced business broker can 
make a big difference in how this transaction turns out.  If 
the price is not what you expected it may not be the right 
time for you to sell. Or you may find that with a few changes 
to your business you will be able to get the sale price into 
the range that you are looking for. Sometimes all it takes is 
a few changes and this is what your broker is trained to help 
you with in consultation with your advisors such as Childcare 
Management consultants , accountant or solicitors.
First impressions count. When it is time to sell it becomes 
even more important.  Consider things such as excess 
resources in the storage room (commonly called "Junk") 
,staff members not wearing full uniforms, worn paint work, 
out of date paper work , redundant stock and discretionary 
cost increases.  All of these things will be impacting on the 
first impression and need to be addressed well before you 
decide to sell. Ask yourself "do I have my rose tinted glasses 
on?" When you look at your business through Buyers Eyes 
you will be amazed at what you see and what you can learn 
about your business.
Check out what an experienced business broker can do for 
you well before you put your business on the market. Being 
well informed you can make better decisions, optimize the 
presentation and ultimately will see far better results at the 
end of the transaction.
