Confidentiality

Our lawyers supervise and ensure the most confidential contract with the customer and the maximum protection for your business.

Partners need to be experts in confidentiality to efficiently sell your business and at the same time maintain discretion, a continuous exercise that only a professional with experience can get. This is the reason our partners study the buyer in depth to know if their intention to purchase your business is well-founded before giving out details about your business. We analyze the financial and administrative capacity of the buyer as well as the motivation.

FINANCES 
B2capital knows the potential funding sources for your business. Our work team will advise, assist, arrange, and guide you with the debt of your business if it is necessary for the acquisition and working capital of your business. We also assist buyers in obtaining financing once both parties have agreed. This can reduce or eliminate the need for funding from the seller and assure payment.

Sell at the right price

From the buyer’s perspective, third-party evaluations add credibility to the estimated sales price. In the absence of an appraisal, the buyer would have to pay to get it appraised, or in some cases, will have no way of checking the selling price of a company to determine whether or not it is realistic. Seeing that the sale price is similar to recent sales from comparable companies will reduce the level of anxiety of the buyer and, at the same time, their confidence level will become higher in the negotiating process.

Frequently asked questions

How can I prevent my employees, my customers and suppliers to know that I am planning to sell my business?
Confidentiality; is perhaps the most serious issue in our way of business. Virtually in most businesses the seller does not want its employees, customers, and suppliers to know that his/her business is for sale. B2capital is well aware of this fact; therefore, emphasizing confidentiality in all of our processes is a must.

How long will it take to sell my business?
The average to sell any business is from 8 to 10 months. While this may seem like a long time, it is normally necessary in order to perform well with every step needed to make a sale. These steps include the list of companies, search for buyers, interviewing the buyers, writing and reviewing contracts, and finally closing procedures.

I currently have a long term lease. Will I be able to transfer the lease to the buyer(s)?
This operation process is crucial. The transfer of lease will be almost impossible to obtain on a sale agreement between negotiating parties. The lease must have a clause that defines the rights of the owner regarding lease transfers.

What could / should do to get credit for the money?
This could be very difficult and become a problem. It is extremely tricky to prove that a prospective buyer has earned income and this income has not been reported. The only suggestion here is to find out if the buyer is not reporting income at the moment and/or fails to keep an accurate record including profits.

Is that everything the purchase is going to cost?
B2capital does not ask for any fees in advance. We analyze your business at no cost to you. Your obligation starts when we find a buyer for your business as agreed from the start. We receive our payment after all closing process is done.

The buildings where my business is located, do I have to sell them also?
There will be many ways to resolve this. Often the property is sold along with the business; but the owner of the business can retain ownership of the premises and obtain a long-term lease. The property can also help the ability of the buyer to initiate the company.
