Selling a business: Harcourts Business
While the marketing of any real estate can be difficult to predict, the time for marketing a business has never looked better than now.
For those looking to sell their business, the number of potential buyers out there is on the increase, while for those who have long harboured an ambition to own their own dream business, the opportunities are plenty.
“We have a full range of businesses on the market, from accommodation to retail, and everything in between,” says Athol McCully, Business Broking Sales Manager, NAI Harcourts Grenadier Commercial.
“Alongside the interest from locals, we also have a lot of inquiries from out-of-towners looking for businesses in and around Canterbury.”
Athol emphasises that having the biggest broker team of any Harcourts franchise in New Zealand brings added benefits to the marketing process.
“The diversity of our business broker team ensures a good working rapport with overseas clients.”
Athol also stresses that the guidelines for marketing a business, so far as the physical and financial aspects, are the same as for marketing a residence.
“Aesthetically, the business should look as presentable as possible, and financially – all financial information should be up-to-date.
“We need the ability to access that information quite quickly.”
