Determine your selling price
With the Finn Business Sales complimentary appraisal, we assess the value of your business and help you set your price range for sale. The market will determine the final selling price and this will be influenced by banks, accountants, advisors, and the economy. We are 100% in tune with them and look to maximise the price achieved in the shortest possible time.

Our selling system is well-organised. You can be comfortable knowing that when we deal with your potential buyers, no stone is left unturned, and we manage all the steps along the way.
Industry averages for brokers show that 60% of listed businesses sell between six and twelve months, 20% sell after twelve months and 20% sell before the six months. With Finn, we tend to run a little bit quicker, and on average we sell between three and nine months.
The process to a successful sale is as follows:
Our Communication Guarantee
