Our Business Sale Options
At Orlando Biz Buyer, we believe in two business acquisition approaches:​
​
Traditional Sale
A traditional sale is the most common method of selling a business.
​
In a traditional sale, the buyer and seller work together to find a fair value of the business, the terms of the purchase and sale agreement are negotiated, and due diligence is performed.
​
After these steps are complete, the parties sign the purchase and sale agreement and the deal is finalized.
​
Then the transition plan begins, where the previous owner trains the new owner to successfully run the business.
From start to finish, a traditional sale can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months to complete.
Buy-In
A buy-in is similar to a traditional sale, but allows for more flexibility.
The buyer and seller still work together to determine a fair value of the business, and due diligence is performed. However, the purchase and sale agreement will differ considerably.
During a buy-in, the buyer will work as a manager in the seller's business and gradually take over the responsibilities of the owner, eventually leading to the complete sale of the business. This allows for a smoother transition between the seller and buyer, as well as additional cash flow to the seller during the transition period.
A buy-in is much more gradual than a traditional sale, and takes 1-2 years to complete (due to the longer transition period).
