Business Sellability Survey

When are you hoping to sell your business?

Why are you thinking about selling your business?

Is there a life event influencing this decision?

Do you have a rough idea of how much you'd want to get for the business?

How would you describe your business financial records?

How have your profits changed over the past three years?

Can your business run well without you for 30 days or more?

How many employees or contractors work in the business right now?

Are there any legal issues or ownership problems we should know about?

Which of these would you NOT be comfortable with in a potential sale?

Seller financing (Receiving part of the sale price over time instead of all upfront)

Earn-out structure (Part of the sale price depends on how the business performs after the sale)

Staying involved temporarily (Helping the new owner during a short transition period — usually 30 to 90 days)

Requiring non-compete or non-solicit terms (Agreeing not to start a competing business or hire your old employees after the sale)

Letting the buyer review your financials before signing a purchase agreement (Allowing qualified buyers to see your profit/loss statements, tax returns, etc.)

None of the above — I’m open to whatever makes the deal work

FAQs

Your Questions Answered — Simple Guidance for Business Owners

Q: What makes Allen & Young different from other brokers in Southern Arizona?

A: We offer hands-on, local help. You work directly with us, no handoffs. We protect your privacy and keep everything clear and transparent.

Q: How do you determine the value of a business?

A: We review your numbers, compare your business to others, and study market trends.

*(Market analysis is like checking recent home sales in your neighborhood — it shows what similar businesses are worth right now.)

Q: Can you help if I'm just thinking about selling but not sure yet?

A: Absolutely. We offer a free consultation to explore your options and the pros and cons of selling now. There’s no pressure — just helpful insight.

Q: How do you keep the sale confidential?

A: We use nondisclosure agreements (NDAs) and quiet marketing to protect your information.

*(An NDA is like a legal lock, it keeps your business details private and off the street.)

We also tap into our trusted buyer network, so you may not need to list publicly at all.

Q: How long does it usually take to sell a business?

A: Most sales take 6 to 12 months if your finances and systems are ready. We’ll give you a clear timeline after we learn more about your business.

Q: Do you help with negotiations between buyers and sellers?

A: Yes. We manage the back-and-forth to make sure the deal is fair and smooth.

We also keep time-wasters out, so you only talk to serious buyers.
