What Do I Need To Consider Before Selling My Business?
By Peter Arkwright
The process of selling a is not as straight-forward as you may imagine, especially if you are looking to get the best possible price. Your may have been set up in a formal and structured way; this will be far more attractive to any potential purchaser more than one which is run in a more 'personal’ way.

The best time to implement these structures and procedures in place is when the is first set up - of course, you can always modify them as the develops and grows but spending time on this area at the start will pay huge dividends in the future.

One of the main problems with internet businesses is that they are generally so 'personal'. This means the site owner has developed a based around his/her own experiences and knowledge, throughout the site there will be personal traits. In the past I have been guilty myself of developing my own sites from my own experiences and this is reflected heavily in the website content.

Having a personal website may be good for you financially; however it could be problematic when you try to sell the business. The manner in which your site has be personally developed may lead you to carry out a major revamp

of the site and at worst might actually affect the sales of the business.

I would advise anyone to set up an online in a 'corporate' manner - this would mean that the websites gave the impression of having a company and losses the personal touch. However, if I had done this at the start, would any of my websites be as lucrative as they have been? My feeling is perhaps not - I know that many people have purchased from me in the past because they can relate to the situations that I found myself in as they are going through a similar situation also. Had my sites been a representation of a faceless corporation, then maybe my customers would never have become customers in the beginning.

I am unsure what is the better approach - personal or corporate - there are advantages and disadvantages to both. If you are looking to keep the short term my advice would be:

1. Maintain proper financial records – No one is going to buy a without scrutinising your accounts.

2. Open a bank account – An accountant should advise you of his, as revenue has to be separated from non finances.

3. Make sure your tax returns are submitted on time.

4. Have a knowledge of SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and always try ahead of the competition.

5. Speak to a broker and get their advice on how to maximise your potential to sell the in the future.

Don’t get too attached to your business, otherwise letting go could be difficult.
