However, there are a few ways to sell your business, such as a third party sale, an asset sale, a management buyout or a private equity sale. Deciding which method to sell your business can depend on a range of factors, including what goals you have in selling your business. This article will explain some of the different ways you can sell your business and touch on which deal structure might be best for you, depending on your motivations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Different Ways of Selling Your Business<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0There are several options you can undertake when selling your business, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">third party sales;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">asset sales;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">management buyouts; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">private equity purchasing.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Third Party Sales<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A third party sale is when you sell your business to another person or business. Typically, this type of sale is a <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/business-sale-purchase\/share-sale-vs-asset-sale\/\">share sale<\/a>. You will sell your shares in the company to the prospective buyer, who will inherit all of the rights that come with those shares. However, the structure of a share sale will depend on the size of your business and to whom you have issued shares.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Asset Sales<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/uncategorised\/difference-share-asset-sale\/\">asset sale<\/a> is when you sell the assets of your business, including:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">physical property, such as equipment, stock, and land; and<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">intellectual property, such as trade marks and copyrights.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In an asset sale, you can remain the legal owner of the business since you are only selling certain business assets. In this sense, selling business assets can be a good way of freeing up some cash or getting rid of property that your business no longer benefits from while still retaining ownership in the business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Management Buyouts<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/startups\/startup-merger-acquisition\/\">management buyout<\/a> is when the managers of your business acquire the business assets you own. Management buyouts are common when business owners want to sell their business so that they can retire.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In this type of sale, you may wish to try to retain an equity share in the business for yourself. Managers will likely know how to keep running the business as it was before. This means that if the business were profitable, it would likely continue to be profitable. However, this will depend on whether you trust the management team that will take over from you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Private Equity<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Selling your business to a private equity fund can be a good way of raising additional funds to expand and grow your business. Private equity funds will typically make sales between each other to sell a company for more money than they bought it for. This means they have an incentive to try to increase the value of your business.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Considerations When Selling Your Business<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the whole, how you sell your business will depend on your aims and goals for your business. Some methods can help you raise funds, while others can help you exit your business on the whole. If you are going through a sales process, it is a good idea to seek professional legal and commercial advice on how best to sell your business. Additionally, you can make a better decision by setting clear goals and determining how much of your business you want to sell.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">1. Setting Clear Goals<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before you look for prospective buyers and get a business valuation, you will first want to set clear goals for your business sale. Ask yourself why you are selling your business in the first place? The answer to this question can help you decide what selling method to choose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, if you are selling your business because you are not happy with its financials, then the expectations will be different if you sell only parts of your business to make profits. Ultimately, knowing the industry, you are operating in will also help you understand your options regarding who you can sell to and when is the right time to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">2. Decide How Much of Your Business You Are Selling<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When selling your business, you can sell all of it or parts of it. Complete sales are common in small businesses, and it involves passing complete ownership to a purchaser. This typically means that you are not involved with the company at all.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, you could also pursue a partial sale. This is when you sell only a part of a company, and it usually involves a sale of:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">assets;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">shares; or<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">a specific aspect of your business.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For example, keeping shares can help you keep an equity stake in the business, which can be useful if you trust that the company might be worth more in the future. However, keeping shares in the business can also mean a buyer pays less for the business given you still retain some ownership.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block p-4
