The BIR Strategy for Success

If you thought getting into business was tough, try getting out.

You face a very competitive market (over 2 1/2 million small businesses were on the market last year). You have to know what the trends are, locally and nationally, to attract the best buyers from a host of lookers. You have to set a fair market price - evaluating your established clientele, your inventory, your competitive position, even your goodwill. You have to learn the in's and out's of the sales process - all the regulations, complex tax laws and creative financing to close deals. Most important, you want to get out of your business everything you've put into it. It can be a hard sell, or a hard sell made easy.
