Is there something I can do to help sell my business?

It goes without saying that a buyer will want up-to-date financial information. Work with your professionals to make all current information available.  Make sure that your attorney is familiar with all laws and the business closing process.  If you have an attorney, you may also want to check to see if he or she could participate at a closing on short notice.  You wouldn’t potentially want to have to wait for an attorney to make the time to prepare documents or attend the closing.  When it comes to any business sale transaction, time is of the essence.  When parties don’t close on schedule, the buyer could reconsider or make changes in the original proposal.
