When you consider selling or buying a small business, planning for the transition phase is the most critical step, and this must go beyond due diligence with attorneys and accountants, as it requires broad and deep thinking to evaluate and review actual business value that won't be apparent in traditional financial reports like balance sheets and profit and loss reports and other financial metrics.

Ignoring this step could be a critical missing step. Why? A great majority, leading upto 85%, businesses fail after the sale. Neither the seller nor the buyer wants to see this outcome: a failed transition and a business downturn after the sale.

Given these challenges during the transition, isn’t it prudent to mitigate this risk and ensure a smooth handover from the seller to the buyer? Unlike a broker or attorney, we provide Transactional Transition Expert advice, drawing on 40+ years of experience in the sales process for small businesses.

What Benefits Do You Accrue?

Seller will have the advantage of exiting at full business value, potentially securing a higher price, while the buyer will benefit from a smooth transition and, as needed, an additional advisory role from our expertise to deepen the creation of the Ideal Business Organization and retain current market share while tapping future market potential.

It is better to realize at the outset that business acquisition depends solely on the strength of the transition, which extends beyond due diligence, and on the valuable expertise of attorneys and accountants. The SmartBVM expert advisors and Principal Partners provide the missing strength in that transition, which other stakeholders, such as business brokers and attorneys, may not be able to provide, as it requires expertise in organizational management systems.
