Steps to Selling Obtain an appraisal on your business from a professional Broker to give you the edge in the market. Get your books and accounts in order and up to date. Include the latest financial year and your BAS statements for the current financial period. Market your business hard and fast - don't 'float' it on the market. Make sure your business is handled discreetly and buyers are qualified before information is given out. Be sure your Broker understands what makes your business special - work with him.
