"Are you serious about selling? Serious buyers will only pay the best possible price for a business if all information supplied has no elements of doubt and profit & loss figures balance up with the asking price."

Very Important

The sale / asking price should reflect your reported nett profit.  Consideration to the age and value of Plant and Equipment.  Consideration given to Freehold Property if applicable. Terms of current lease arrangement. Supply of all requested information.  Eliminate any emotion.

Buyers educate themselves by viewing many businesses and they are not all first timers. They know what a fair price is, if your business is not competitive in value with those they have seen, it will not sell first. If your business is not priced within the correct price range, it is likely it will not be exposed to its potential or targeted buyers.
