Sell a Business with Acquisition Direct

Seller Resources

Acquisitions Direct team of highly qualified consultants and advisors look at every detail when evaluating an online business. Below is an overview of the steps required to sell a business through Acquisitions Direct.

  1. Interview: An Acquisitions Direct advisor will conduct an interview with the potential Seller and evaluates the business to gain a full understanding of the business operations. A full evaluation of the business’s products, services, pricing, distribution, affiliations, financials, competition and operations is completed to allow Acquisitions Direct to determine the proper market value of the business. This information will assist the Seller with their decision regarding the listing price of their Internet business.
  2. Listing Agreement: We require that all Sellers execute an exclusive listing agreement which authorizes Acquisitions Direct to use its best efforts to market the Internet business and to identify prospective buyers for the business. This agreement also allows Acquisitions Direct to furnish material to the prospective buyers describing the seller’s business and introduce prospective Buyers to the Seller. During this step Acquisitions Direct will assist the Seller with the disposition of the Seller’s business and consult with and advise the Seller on the aspects of any proposed sale including selling price, terms, conditions of sale and structure of the transaction.
  3. Marketing: With support from the Seller, we will prepare and package the business for marketing. A professional sales presentation is developed to support the marketing efforts of Acquisitions Direct and a targeted marketing program is implemented to initiate the sales process.
  4. Buyer Qualification: Potential buyers are located through the rollout of the customized marketing program as well as from existing relationships with known potential online business buyers. An interview is conducted with all buyers to qualify and, if approved, we introduce them to the Seller and their online business.
  5. Letter of Intent: Acquisitions Direct will secure a letter of intent (LOI) and/or offer to purchase (OTP) from the buyer and present the letter of intent (LOI) and/or offer to purchase (OTP) to the Seller.
  6. Due Diligence: Acquisitions Direct, Seller, Buyer(s) and any additional parties identify and solve any open issues in preparation for the closing.
  7. Asset Purchase Agreement : Acquisition’s Direct sends an Asset Purchase Agreement and other needed closing documents from the buyer and presents these documents to the seller for review and approval.
  8. Closing: Once the sale is ready to be finalized, Acquisitions Direct will coordinate the parties involved with the closing. The business is then legally transferred to the new owner(s). A transition period is usually established to allow the new business owner to get acquainted with the daily procedures and get all operations established.
