We also look at intangible assets like goodwill and your company’s reputation. For an accurate, up-to-date valuation, our team conducts a comprehensive analysis, drawing on real market data, buyer behavior, and industry benchmarks.

Is it permissible to sell my business to a competitor?

Yes, and in many cases, competitors can be great buyers—especially if they’re looking to grow market share or expand into new territories. But it’s important to manage confidentiality and structure the deal correctly.

KARIBIZ handles this process with care. We:
- Qualify the competitor as a serious buyer
- Negotiate non-disclosure agreements
- Protect your proprietary information
- Ensure fair pricing and favorable terms

What are the steps involved in selling a small business?

Selling a small business involves many of the same steps as selling a larger company—but with added emphasis on owner involvement, local market appeal, and transition planning.
 

Key steps include:
- Organizing financials
- Streamlining operations
- Creating a buyer transition plan
- Marketing your business confidentially
- Negotiating with qualified buyers

How do I sell my restaurant?

Restaurants are unique businesses with their own valuation and buyer dynamics. To sell your restaurant, you’ll need:
- Financial statements and profit/loss records
- Equipment and inventory list
- Lease details
- Health permits and licenses
- Clean operations and staff in place

 

At KARIBIZ, we understand what restaurant buyers look for—and how to package your listing to stand out.

Is It Advisable to Sell My Business?

It’s a deeply personal decision. Some business owners sell to retire, others for new ventures, and some because it’s simply time to move on.
 

Here are a few signs that selling might be the right move:
- You're ready for retirement or a lifestyle change
- Your business has reached peak value
- You want to pursue new opportunities
- You're feeling burnt out or under-resourced
