With a proven track record for serving the changing
requirements of the convenience store industry,
Milne, Currier & Associates is uniquely positioned to
assist you with your business and real estate needs.
- Define Your Objectives -
Know why you want to sell and what you hope to
accomplish through the sale of your store.
- Set a Realistic Value -
What you want or need to get for your store has
nothing to do with its value. Establishing the right
price at the outset is critical to selling your
property quickly and efficiently.
- Have Good Books - People
buy (and banks finance) based upon what the books
show. Make sure your financial records are in order.
- Timing - Sell now or wait?
Selling quickly may require concessions on price and
terms...this is fine as long as your objectives are
met.
- Tax Implications - What
you sell for and what you keep are two different
things...consult your accountant/tax advisor before
you sell. Ditto your attorney.
- Financing - Many sales may
require some form of seller financing. Know what
buyers are looking for and what your options are.
- Employees - Know when and
how to tell employees of a pending sale.
- Encumbrances - Gasoline
supply agreements, leases and
rights-of-first-refusal all have an impact on your
ability to sell. Determine possible effect on your
prospective buyers.
- Vendors - Nobody spreads
rumors faster than vendors. If you want to keep your
pending sale quiet, be careful who you talk to.
- Choose the Right Agent -
Select someone who knows the business inside and
out. Choosing the right agent can make or break your
sale!
