Contacting a Florida Business Broker is the best place to
start whether you would like to advertise a Florida business for sale or buy a
Florida business. For the seller, hiring a Business Broker to handle the sale
of the business, allows the seller to continue with the
operation of the
business while the Broker performs the task of advertising the business for
sale, finding the buyer, working through the due diligence process and
scheduling the closing and transition period. Having a Broker handling the transaction
ensures the sale is kept confidential, and therefore creates a seamless
transition for both the buyer and seller. A Business Broker will use
confidential methods to advertise a Florida business for sale without
disclosing names and locations to the general public, employees, vendors or
competition. This is extremely important in the Florida business for sale
process, and can include any number of methods.Direct Contact Marketing
One of the most delicate and successful approaches for
marketing a Florida business for
sale involves direct marketing. In this
approach, direct industry contacts are made which include competition and
strategic Buyers in vertical markets. A Business Broker is usually necessary
for this approach as it requires a great deal of skill and tact to maintain the
confidentiality and protect the seller’s business, trade secrets and other
confidential information. In many
instances deals structured in this way can be much more lucrative for the both
the buyer and seller.Internet Advertising
As in other industries, the internet has largely become
the largest single source of bringing Buyers and Sellers together by the
advertising of a Florida business for sale online. Literally dozens of web
sites have popped up over the years, some of the more prominent include,
www.TruforteBusinessGroup.com and www.BizBuySell.com . Through websites such as
these, Florida Businesses for sale can be confidentially marketed and
advertised nationally as well as internationally. In addition, regional Business
Broker Associations, such as the Business Brokers of Florida will have MLS web
sites that are used. These MLS sites are used between brokerages to share
information and cooperate on business transactions. A large percentage of the
businesses for sale in Florida, are in fact sold by cooperating brokerages
working together.
Print Advertising
Print advertising is not used as widely as it once was,
but successful campaigns for advertising a Florida business for sale are still
possible. The most effective campaigns are those carried out by a Business
Broker, who can reach a potential market while still maintaining the
confidentially. This is most successfully done through direct mail and industry
publications or associations. For print to be successful for advertising a
Florida business for sale in today’s market it requires a more targeted
approach than the days of placing a classified ad in the newspaper.
Once a seller has made the decision to sell a business,
it is advised that the advertising of a Florida business for sale be left to
the professionals. Florida Business Brokers at Truforte Business Group have the
experience and knowledge to carry out a successful advertising and marketing
campaign. There is much more involved than placing a couple ads on your
favorite website. The process requires the gathering of information and sorting
through the facts, recasting financial data and putting together a marketing
package that will attract buyers. The proven methods are designed to protect
seller interest and keep the sale of the business confidential, and take both
the buyer and the seller to their ultimate goal.
