Providing Secretive Info When Selling

Demonstrating information like tax returns and bank statements is sort of a prerequisite when selling a business.

However, you want to hold back a lot of info when you are selling the business.

You want to wait until due diligence period.

Generally, we don’t send a lot of secretive info until there is an LOI in place.

That LOI can carry a deposit dependent on business size, with an exclusivity clause, and a timeframe to close.

The more serious the buyer, the more he wants exclusive rights, and the more he is willing to pay for those exclusive rights.

Regardless, you want to make sure you provide everything the buyer needs to close.

Bank statements and tax returns are a wonderful way to get a buyer excited about the business.

They will see cash flow.

You want them to see great cash flow.

You want them to see the highlights and positives.

Make sure you black out any Social Security Numbers and Bank Account Numbers on any documents before providing them to the buyer.

Sometimes the buyer will request information on the actual orders.

Make sure you black out any customer names and contact info before you provide them to the buyer, if they request info on orders.
