Thinking About Selling? Here's How to Get Started.
Selling your business will be one of the most significant decisions you'll ever make. We're here to make the process structured, transparent, and as smooth as possible. Below are the steps to begin.
Step 1: Complete the Business Seller Questionnaire
This gives us a clear picture of you, your business, and the company that owns it. It also provides the information we need to research your business and have a productive first conversation.
Step 2: Review Our Selling Process
Understand the full lifecycle of how we manage a business sale — from engagement through settlement. No surprises.
Step 3: Read the Guide to Selling a Business
Arm yourself with knowledge before your first call. This guide covers valuation basics, buyer types, deal structures, and common pitfalls.
Step 4: Sign Our Non-Disclosure Agreement
This protects you and your company. It ensures that any financial or confidential information you share is protected and disclosed only to CRE Resources, LLC.
Step 5: Execute the Brokerage & Listing Agreement
This formalizes our partnership and authorizes us to perform a valuation, prepare your Offering Memorandum, and list your business for sale through our marketing channels and listing services.
