The Affordable Business Partner…
At The Affordable Business Partner we use a modern approach to selling your business that combines the best parts of traditional brokerage services with the flexibility of a do-it-yourself model.
Instead of paying high commissions and losing control to a broker—or struggling alone with confusing steps—
We provide business owners with a third option: a structured, easy-to-follow small business selling system that lowers costs, avoids mistakes and keeps you in control while having an experienced business selling partner along the way.
Businesses That Sell Themselves
Imagine for a moment that a buyer has reviewed your businesses financials and is now walking through your business with the intention of buying it, but only if it works.
Not only does it have to work, but it must continue to work with them at the wheel, and without a lot of work to make that happen.
Now imagine yourself at that moment, smiling inside knowing you not only will your business model work for them, but better than any other business model they have looked at to this date.
Why? Because you took a few extra steps that most other business owners don’t.
Imagine yourself taking the buyer through your business explaining different aspects of your business and how they work, answering their questions as you go!
Imagine that once the visit is about to be over, buyers know that part of your selling price includes a step-by-step well thought out turn-key training process that will put them in a position to succeed for years to come.
It’s not only about money
Most selling business owners and brokers continue to make the same mistake.
Thinking that the main reason why buyers buy one business over another is because of the financial health of a business.
Obviously, finances are key in helping a buyer choose one business over another, but not the only major deciding factor.
Business selling stats show on average that only 1 out of 15 buyers who start the due diligence process end up crossing the finish line.
So why, do so many buyers that spend time reviewing financials and visiting businesses, decide to look elsewhere.
The How, Why & What
Businesses financials are great in telling a buyer how the current owner earns a living but provides little insight into how the money was earned, why things are done a certain way and what the owner is going to do to help the buyer be successful.
Unfortunately most business owners and brokers fail to build buyer confidence because they don’t position their businesses as ready-to-run, turnkey opportunities.”
This in turn creates doubt in a buyer’s mind and has them again looking for a business that provides both financial health and a road map on how they can be successful.
We do things differently
At The Affordable Business Partner, we don’t sell businesses. We work together with business owners through a step-by-step business selling system to properly prepare their businesses, so the business sells itself.
We know from experience the importance of doing the little things that make a big difference.
