Selling a Business

The Pet Space Experts: Selling Your Business

Selling a business that you have built and nurtured involves both financial considerations and emotional hurdles. Considerations need to be given to the financial freedom a sale can accomplish as well as the emotional relief from the 'day-to-day' stress of business ownership.

If you’re ready to capitalize on the value you’ve built and eager to spend more time with family or move on to the next challenge, we can make that a reality.

Financially, our process will maximize your sales price.

Practically, we will take you through the entire sales process by successfully navigating the complexities of selling your business.

The insight of a skilled and experienced broker is a critical success factor, because without it, you may not capture the total value of your business, or worse, lose a deal over issues that could be remedied by expert deal-making.

We also help you handle any unexpected issues that arise along with the personal and emotional aspects of the transaction:

We would have had to wait a year to 18 months to get it ready [to sell]. But the way Teija had it set up with the evaluations, we could just put it on the market. So, there’s a huge benefit to her sales prep work before we were ready to sell. The exit plan was pretty important.

Getting solicitation calls from  corporate / consolidator buyers? We have strong relationships with all national corporate buyers and our listing process ensures that your business gets optimal exposure to all buyer groups and receives offers that recognize the full value of your business. We confidentially present your business to all of the various consolidator companies that are active in acquiring private pet care facilities; our structured process is the only way to 100% ensure you get maximum price, we are the antidote to dealing with a corporate buyer by yourself that is never in the seller's best interest - only in the corporate buyer's.

Prefer to sell to an individual vs. a corporate company? Our access to the private buyer market is unparalleled. We maintain a proprietary buyer database of financially qualified prospects actively seeking opportunities to invest in the pet care space. These are not tire kickers!

We maintain confidentiality throughout the process. Once the sale has closed, we assist you with staff notification, client announcements, detangling the practical matters of the sale and ensure the transition is smooth and successful for all parties

Selling your pet care business may be one of the most important decisions you ever make. Proper representation makes the sales process easier and ensures that you get the maximum price for your business with minimal hassle.
