Preparation
Business sale preparations begin with your decision to sell. Our professionals will help you develop your exit plan, assist in preparing proper documentation, and collaborate efforts with other professionals, such as financial advisors, attorneys, and accountants.

Valuation
The business valuation process requires a thorough examination of the company, as well as the industry, in order to determine a proper value. Landis & Associates, Inc. works with leading business valuation providers in order to deliver unbiased valuations. Through the valuation, our professionals are able to determine how much a business is worth and also identify potential market opportunities.

Research and Analysis
Research and analysis is an essential part of the business sale process. Landis & Associates, Inc. professionals thoroughly research each client’s industry - analyzing overall market performance, historical and projected growth rates, trends, competitors, geographic influences, and mergers and acquisitions - in order to best position the company for sale. Our market research also allows us to identify strategic growth opportunities to support the valuation.

Marketing
Landis & Associates, Inc. will develop and distribute unique marketing materials in order to attract interested buyers. Marketing is a crucial step toward building a comprehensive pool of potential buyers, which is why we fully dedicate ourselves to our marketing efforts.

Structuring and Negotiating
Landis & Associates, Inc. will work with you through the deal structuring and negotiating phase – including entertaining early interest, reviewing the letter of intent, facilitating the buyer/seller due diligence phase, assisting in the review/approval of the purchase & sale agreement, and interfacing with legal consult during final negotiations.

Close
