If you’ve ever applied for a mortgage or loan, you’re likely already quite familiar with the concept of collateral. Collateral is an asset that is pledged to secure a loan. It offers lenders a way to recover losses when borrowers default.

When it comes to buying a business, prospective buyers typically assume that they will need substantial personal assets to qualify for financing. While collateral can no doubt strengthen a loan application, it is interesting to note that it is not always the deciding factor. Today, there are several financing options that may allow qualified buyers to acquire a business even if they have limited collateral in the traditional sense.

Receiving an offer on your business is a major milestone, but experienced buyers, sellers, and advisors know that an accepted offer is only one step in the transaction process. The real challenge is navigating the weeks (or sometimes months) between an agreement and a successful closing.

While some deals are derailed by unforeseen events, most transactions succeed or fail based on preparation, communication, and expectations.

Here are four factors that consistently contribute to successful business sales:

We’ve had this conversation more times than we can count: an owner is finally ready to sell, but the business they’re bringing to market is no longer the business buyers would have paid a premium for three years earlier.

The business has been good to them. They’ve built something real. But when we dig into the financials, the picture is softer than it used to be. Revenue has plateaued. A couple of key people have left. The owner pulled back on reinvestment because, understandably, they didn’t want to spend money building something they were planning to hand off.

The business is still sellable. But it would have been worth more — often significantly more — when it still had momentum.

And by the time most owners realize that, the window to change it has already closed.

When a business changes hands, the lease attached to it can be just as important as the business itself. This is especially true for restaurants, retail stores, salons, and other companies that rely heavily on location and customer traffic. A strong location can add value to a business. However, the downside of the equation is that a problematic lease can create unexpected headaches for both buyers and sellers.

For anyone considering the purchase of a business, reviewing the lease should be one of the first steps in the process. Sometimes the lease is treated as an afterthought by buyers. It’s important to realize that even if the business is profitable and well-established, lease terms can limit your future growth or even create financial issues for you down the road.
