Introduction – How to Sell Your Printing Business
You’ve put in years of hard work to build a business that you’re proud of. Maybe even some blood, sweat, and tears. Learn how you can secure your exit strategy at no cost to you.
It makes sense that selling your business would be far from an easy decision, especially when you’re accounting for all the factors that need to be considered. What is your timeline? How will you find a buyer? On your own? Through a broker? Using a franchise? How will you finance it?
All of that is only half of it. Even once the sale has gone through, you’ll need to figure out what kind of training and support you’ll be able to provide to the buyer. Will you train them? Stay on as a manager for a period of time? How will you assure that your clients are taken care of?
Not only do you want to make a successful sale that will give you the money your business is worth, but you want to continue the legacy you’ve built and make sure your customers are left in good hands. All of it can be extremely overwhelming, and that is why we made this guide for you.
You have several main options when it comes to selling your printing business and understanding them will help you feel better about any decisions you make going forward. These options are selling your business on your own, using a broker to help, or partnering with an experienced franchise team to sell.
