WE WOULD RECOMMEND BUSINESS SALES GROUP TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING TO SELL A BUSINESS

We tried ourselves to sell our flower business at first.  It was one of the top flower franchise shops in America, so we were confused as to why we couldn’t get a good buyer. We had plenty of want-to- be lookers who just wasted our time with low down payments and long term payouts.
We decided to give Business Sales Group a try.

Heather brought in a well-qualified buyer who ended up buying our business.
Heather and Rick were professional, hardworking, and honest. They took care of the details, and guarded our interest through the entire transaction. We are VERY HAPPY with the service they provided. We would recommend Business Sales Group to anyone who is looking to sell a business. Thanks Rick and Heather for helping us sell our flower store!

Utah Ranked #2 in the United States

Utah was recently ranked the 2nd best state in America to own a business by CNBC. This is great news for people looking to buy a business in Utah or sell a business in Utah. Those of us who reside in the Beehive State know how great it is here; now the word is out a American is taking notice.  CNBC ranked the states on the following criteria:

If you are thinking about selling a business in Utah or buying a business you will definitely want to see the Beehive State.  Go to UTAHBIZsales.com for a complete listing of business for sale. 

SELLING A BUSINESS IN UTAH

Now is a great time to sell a business in Utah.  The 2012 CNBC poll of which states are the most business-friendly states ranked Utah as #2 in the nation!!  Those of us who have done business in Utah already know this, but now the nation is becoming increasingly aware of how business friendly Utah is.

If you are considering selling a business in Utah now is a good time to sell a business in Utah!  Buyer appetite for the beehive state is strong.   I recently worked with a buyer who owns multiple businesses in California and he is selling out to move to Utah where, as he puts it, “people are business friendly”, unlike his native California where higher taxes and increased regulation have soured his appetite to remain.

The rankings were based on the following 10 criteria:

  1. Cost of doing business
  2. Workforce
  3. Quality of life
  4. Infrastructure and transportation
  5. Economy
  6. Education
  7. Technology and innovation
  8. Business friendliness
  9. Access to capital
  10. Cost of living

Surprisingly, Utah surged from 8th place to 2nd place toppling Virginia, who fell to 3rd due to congested freeways. The Beehive State boasts “low costs, a world class workforce,  and moves into the top 10 for Quality of Life”.    Utah’s ranking was also noted in US News.  What this means is if you are considering selling a business in Utah in the near future, buyers are looking closely at Utah as a place to make an acquisition.  Selling a business in Utah may be easier than you think.
