How do you turn your business into a giant BUY button? Hire a Deal Doula

How do you turn your business into a giant BUY button? Hire a Deal Doula

Posted by Marcelo Bermudez

Retailers like #Amazon simplify the purchase process with a buy button.

The customer can select and pay quickly without a whole lot of friction.

How can you do the same when you’re trying to buy or sell a business?

Warm-Up – You’re great at making or selling your product or service.

  • You don’t have the same muscle memory for selling a business since it may be your first time.
  • Selling a business is an intense, bumpy, and time-consuming process that you can’t get wrong.
  • You need to learn the process so you can get to the finish line.

Organize – Preparing a data room with all the financial records, business entity, customer, and vendor details takes time to paint an accurate picture.

Evaluate – A business is like a baby. Only you think it’s the most beautiful thing in the world.

  • Hire a business broker or #appraiser to get an evaluation.
  • Determine if it’s enough to retire or move into your next reinvention.

Hire A Deal Doula – Not a mentor

  • Mentors are great sounding boards but they’re not going to spend countless hours walking you through a deal.
  • A Deal Doula has seen tons of deals, knows how to leverage the talents of the lawyers and accountants, can read a term sheet, knows the jargon, will be your coach, therapist, speech writer, and cheerleader.

Need a Deal Doula? Call me today.
