What Drives Business Owners to Sell... And Business Buyers to Buy

The buyer of your business will buy for his or her reasons, not yours.  If you decide to sell because your business is not going well and you simply want to get rid of it... do you think a buyer will be convinced?  Your attitude and what you say can drastically devalue your business and its true worth.
 
Whatever your situation, your reason for selling must be convincing and your explanations consistent.
 
It's only natural that you will want to get the highest price you possibly can.  Although how much you get is important, it won't necessarily drive your ultimate decision to sell.
 
For most business owners, the decision to sell is usually a combination of personal and financial reasons.  Is this your situation too?  The chances are you will have a personal attachment to your business.   It’s been part of your life for some time now.  Only you are capable of making the ultimate decision to sell.
 
The same applies to buyers.   It won't just be a financial decision, it will also be about lifestyle, personal independence, freedom to express themselves, maybe an escape from the corporate "rat race", or the satisfaction of being in charge of their own little empire.
 
The price they pay is important, as it will need to stack-up financially, if they are to convince someone to lend them money.  However, financial considerations alone will not drive their decision to purchase.
 
Buying the business will change their lives and they know it.  Only the buyer is capable of making the decision to buy.
 
Remember at the end of the day, both you and your potential buyer will have to balance the imagined personal gains against what could be uncertain financial prospects.  Here's the crunch... because you as a seller are offering a business opportunity and NOT a business guarantee.

New Opportunity: Passive Food Production Business On Vancouver Island

BCBusinessBrokers has an exciting, new business opportunity--“Passive Food Production Business” (VANISBC001-N135).

Traditionally grown in the purest of Japanese streams, authentic wasabi (Wasabia Japonica) has been notoriously difficult to grow in any other environment. Following decades of research and development, the patent pending proprietary process of growing semi-aquatic wasabi in a greenhouse environment has been perfected. With four sites successfully operating for six (6) years, the company is expanding its commercial production. Limited opportunities are now available on Vancouver Island. This is a passive business opportunity with strong expansion potential.  Full time site management will ensure that greenhouse construction and crops are monitored, managed and cared for. A Grower’s Unit includes a license to purchase wasabi plantlets; guaranteed sales; and three (3) fully-erected greenhouses (20,000 sq ft) ready for planting. Demand for high-grade wasabi greatly exceeds supply in the culinary market worldwide; fresh wasabi is sold out weekly. New orders cannot be filled. The limited supply has been further affected by elevated radiation levels in the wake of Japan’s 2011 earthquake and nuclear fallout. Merely replacing the culinary production lost in Japan represents an enormous market demand. Customer requests far exceed what this site can produce based on wholesale prices to culinary markets only. There is also an increasing demand for wasabi in the multi-billion dollar anti-aging and biomedical industries. Research validates compounds found in wasabi which are known to be effective in treating stomach cancer, just one of wasabi’s many applications and upsides. Being involved in commercial wasabi production on Vancouver Island is a sound and lucrative business opportunity. With only one commercial wasabi operation in North America and an unpenetrated global demand, this is the ideal time to secure your position as a Grower.
