Business owners sell good businesses for many reasons.  Rarely is the reason for selling a business because it isn’t doing well.  Here are some typical reasons business owners sell their businesses:

• Retirement
• Wanting to seek new challenges
• Desire to change their lifestyle
• Family matters
• Health concerns
• Relocation
• Death of the owner
• Other business interests

Commission Fees are charged to the seller when the business is sold. No fees are charged to the buyer when purchasing a business represented by The Jennessey Group.

Each time a qualified buyer decides to review your business, you will be contacted. Of course, you’ll be in contact with The Jennessey Group via telephone and email on a regular basis for the duration of the sale of your business.

Your business will be advertised anonymously on our website (see our listings for examples) as well as other popular online business marketplaces. We also contact our extensive network of investors and potential buyers that we have worked with in the past decade that are looking for new opportunities.

The Jennessey Group performs a comprehensive evaluation of the business. The foundation of our evaluation is financial data relevant to your specific industry.  The data includes key ratios based upon the financial performance of your company.

In addition, we consult with experienced business brokers to draw upon their knowledge selling companies within your industry.

After obtaining an understanding of the general market for companies within the industry, we then incorporate the unique characteristics of the company to estimate a price that an independent third party would be willing to pay for the company based upon its financial performance. In addition, we utilize a cash flow model to ensure the financial parameters of a typical hypothetical deal structure, using the estimated value of the company, are appropriate for the purchase of the business.

As a final step, we compare the price that a buyer would be willing to pay based on financial performance of the company to the amount of money the company would receive if it liquidated its assets. The greater of the values is selected.  If the decision is that it’s not quite time to sell, we will work with you over time, updating the evaluation annually, until you are ready.

Confidentiality is the cornerstone of The Jennessey Group. Potential Buyers are required to agree in writing to The Jennessey Group’s Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure policies prior to releasing confidential information about your business. Only confidential information that you approve will be shared with potential buyers. Buyers financial information is held in confidence, as well.
