Selling Retail Business with the experience it takes to put all of the pieces together to get you, the seller, to a successful closing of your business sale.
Many first time buyers for companies coming out of Corporate America will shy away from retail businesses. The reason for this is simple: Retail firms are often perceived as a “ball and chain” type operation to run. Buyers do not like the idea of having to “mind the store” 6 to 7 days a week or work long hours which retail generally requires. For this reason, retail is not given its just due from buyers.
Here is how Whitehurst will many times position and marketing the sale of your retail business to close the deal for you and sell your business:
Retail companies provide a more even cash flow on a daily and weekly basis than manufacturing or wholesale/distribution. Many buyers overlook the benefits of owning an all cash business and the resulting cash flow benefits that the retail business provides. There is no cash requirement for A/R as in the other types of business firms, as cash is paid immediately for the product being sold. Additionally, after the initial investment of leasehold improvement to get the location ready for occupancy/ market, there is very little money required in annual capital expenditures as in the other types of business entities.
