If they want to buy your company, they will present a letter of intent, probably within days. If they decide not to make an offer for your business, they will let us know quickly – they won't ask for more and more information and string the process along, only to later say "not interested". approach acquisition very professionally. These are professional buyers who know how to make a deal and how to treat business sellers they will respect confidentiality (they have to in order to remain in business) know how to value a company based on its past and on its future know how to make a deal and how to use a myriad of tools to bring a deal to a win-win conclusion will have references — In most cases, you will be invited to speak with others who have sold businesses to them have a high likelihood of closing — One of the biggest dangers in offering a company for sale is seeing a deal fall apart, 3, 4 or 5 months after terms are agreed to.
