How do I begin Selling a Florida Business?

The process of selling a business in Florida begins with a preliminary, no-obligation meeting. General information is exchanged, so the Seller and Truforte Business Group can become acquainted with each other and their respective business.

Next, additional information is compiled and examined to determine the value of the business. Information needed will include: two to three years of current financial statements, balance sheets, and income tax returns, as well as information on other assets to be transferred when selling the Florida business.

A valuation is then performed to provide the Seller with a price range, which he can expect to receive for his business. Truforte Business Group will consult with the Seller to establish the proper terms and asking price for the business.

Finally, a contractual agreement is entered into between the Seller and Truforte Business Group, giving Truforte Business Group the right to market the business as the transactional agent under mutually  agreed terms.
