  4. 7.Thou Shalt Keep thy Business in Good Repair • - Clean, neat appealing businesses sell. • 8.Thou Shalt Prepare the Landlord for the Sale • - Landlords can be real ‘deal killers’ and buyers need to know if the lease will be assigned or a new lease will need to be negotiated. • 9.Thou Shalt Avoid Surprises • Surprises tend to destroy the buyer’s trust and will send them running, not walking, to another opportunity.

  5. 10.Thou Shalt List with an Experienced Business Broker • - Specialist business brokers add value to the process because of their appraisal and negotiating skills and their multi-pronged marketing strategies. Brokers can also “recast” financial statements, qualify buyers, maintain confidentiality and identify hidden ‘intangibles’. • Bruce Rylance • Business Broker Contact Info: Broker Support Centre, Suite 104, Bermuda Point, 20 Lake Orr Drive.
