A town business district with loyal customers
Kirkwood has a walkable downtown with independent shops, restaurants and offices, plus medical and service companies along its main roads. Many customers return for years.
That loyalty is a selling point when it can be shown, such as repeat customer data, reviews and steady yearly sales.
Who buys here
Buyers are often neighbors, former employees and investors who want a stable local company. At smaller price points the buyer usually lives within about twenty miles.
If your company is an LLC, read about ending it after the sale so the steps are clear before closing.
What lifts the price
A reputation that outlasts the owner, clean books and a lease with years left. Owner dependent shops, such as one where customers ask for you by name, are discounted.
What buyers will ask
Expect a request for three years of statements, a staff list with pay, and your lease. Buyers will ask why you are selling, and personal reasons such as retirement work best.
Read how the price gets split in an asset sale so your CPA can model it early.
