Selling your business is a major decision that requires a comprehensive review of many factors, both internal and external. We’ve spoken to countless small business owners that have struggled to get past internal factors such as personal and financial goals, emotions, and reasons for selling. The investment of time, money, and energy required to operate, develop, and grow a small business often leads to a challenging and emotional process when it comes time to make the final decision to sell.
Whether you’ve made the final decision to sell or you’re still considering your options the notion of selling your business has at least piqued enough interest to take the first step in the selling process. At this point, the business owner must now focus on the external factors that were mentioned previously.
External Factors to Consider:
Selling a business can be a long, complex, and stressful process with many obstacles to consider. This can be a daunting task for any business owner as the focus should continue to be on day-to-day operations to continue growing or at least maintaining, revenue to maximize the sales price.

Bryant Business Brokers “BuyBiz4Sale”is the best representation I have ever had. I tried to sell my business for 1 year with no luck. I met Amanda Bryant, signed a contract and within a week she had a prospective buyer interested in buying my business. Amanda Bryant is a fine business broker and I enjoyed working with her. I would strongly suggest anyone who is serious about selling their business to contact Amanda Bryant at Bryant Business Brokers.
Amanda gave me the help and knowledge I needed to buy my first Fedex Ground route. She followed the transaction at every step of the way providing me with all the information I needed to submit to FedEx management for a quick approval of my application. I will definitely recommend Amanda’s services to anyone who is pursuing the purchase or the selling of a Fedex Ground route, especially if new to the Fedex business.
I would like to highly recommend Amanda Bryant. She assisted me in every step on the purchase of my Fedex route business. She was in constant touch with me and the owner throughout this process to ensure a smooth closing, approval and transfer of the business assets. She also has stayed in contact after the closing to ensure my business continued doing well! I've dealt with several business brokers and none as knowledgeable, professional and persistent as Amanda!
About 5 years ago, my wife and I decided to begin the process of selling our business. We had a contract with FedEx Ground with 8 tractors. We had several offers and several people interested, but it always turned out that they either lost interest, could not attain the funds, or just backed out all-together. During this time, I received a call from Amanda Bryant asking if I would consider selling my business, and we were. We signed a listing agreement and within a couple of weeks, Amanda was bringing prospects. Within 5 months, an offer was made, accepted and the deal was closed. I cannot express how relieved I was to see it all happen after so many ups and downs. Amanda brought people to us we would have never been able to contact. She also ensured they were financially capable of the purchase. I would certainly recommend Amanda Bryant to anyone in the same position I was in.
