One buyer is not the market.
An unsolicited buyer may be a real opportunity. It may not be the only one.
Business owners are sometimes approached directly by someone interested in buying the company.
That can be a legitimate opportunity.
But one buyer’s interest does not necessarily tell you what the broader market may look like.
Price is only one part of the decision.
- Terms
- Financing
- Transaction structure
- Timing
- Fit
- Certainty of closing
Before committing to a single buyer, it may be worth understanding whether other qualified buyers would also have interest and how the opportunities compare.
At First Choice Business Brokers of East TN/Nashville, our role is to help create a structured, controlled process that gives the seller enough qualified market exposure to make an informed decision.
- The objective is not to create an auction.
- It is not to generate activity for activity’s sake.
It is to give the seller more context.
Sometimes the first buyer is the right buyer. The important thing is knowing why.
