How to sell a turnkey business

A turnkey business is one that can be sold and bought without needing any immediate changes. It is a business that can begin functioning without delay after it’s bought. A turnkey business is considered one that is operating efficiently and to its full extent before the date of the sale and throughout the transaction process. They’re usually very attractive to seasoned buyers. Most turnkey businesses are already operating as efficiently as possible but require a buyer to provide capital. 

Are you someone who owns a fully operational business but you’re wanting to sell? There are a few different ways you can go about getting ready to sell, which are discussed in greater detail below.

How can you sell a turnkey business?

  • Figure out how much your business is worth — One of the first steps you’ll need to take when selling your turnkey business is to determine how much it’s worth. You can get a professional business valuation done so that both you and your prospective buyers can get a better idea of your business’s current and potential economic value.
  • Get your financial statements and paperwork ready — Another component of selling a turnkey business is having financial statements and relevant paperwork ready to go. Making sure that you’ve organized your finances, taxes, and any other pertinent information can significantly improve your chances of finding a serious buyer and can speed up the selling process.
  • Speak with a qualified business broker who can list your business — Chances are, you’ll want to hire a business broker to help you. Brokers can benefit sellers for several reasons. Not only can they get your listing posted on the market, but they can also connect with a large network of buyers to get your turnkey business out there.
