Step 1 of Selling a Small Business - The Inital Meeting

The first step in the process of selling a small business is the initial meeting.  The initial meeting almost always takes place at your business.  The main reason for this is that it gives me a chance to see the actual assets and location and you can give me a tour and the basic background of your company and also explain what assets are included and which are not.

It some cases where confidentiality is extremely important and you do not want to explain to employees who I am, we can meet at any other location that is convenient.  Arrangements will have to be made for me to see the location and place of business when the employees are not present.

At our initial meeting I can find out more about your business and what makes it unique from others and find out what your goals are.

Its also gives you the chance to ask questions about me and American Business Acquisitions.
