Seller Information
Why have Keate Partners Represent You and Your Company?
Our firm has been selling Greater Cincinnati companies for over 40 years. We understand the right way to prepare a business for its sale – and the proper procedures to accomplish a sale without employees, customers or competitors finding out.
We take the extra steps which set us apart from other brokerage firms.
We provide a written valuation so that the seller will get a complete understanding of the range of value that can likely be achieved upon a sale.
We follow strict procedures to maintain confidentiality.
We utilize national, regional and local websites to attract buyers.
We assist the buyer in obtaining financing once a deal has been agreed upon.
We coordinate due diligence and closing with the seller, the buyer, their attorneys and accountants, and the bank.
Accurate information is important. We perform preliminary due diligence to make sure the information (we call a “Confidential Business Review” – a “CBR”) that is provided to buyers is accurate. This information package allows buyers to fully understand and analyze the business. The seller and buyer both appreciate the CBR because it allows a quick decision of whether the business fits their parameters and needs.
It is important to emphasize that buyers only receive generic information on a business until they have satisfied disclosure requirements and been approved to receive the “CBR”. Maintaining confidentiality is one of our key strengths. We receive compliments from sellers, buyers, and bankers all the time on our procedures and documentation as they save everyone time performing lengthy analysis work.
