Selling Your Business During the Covid-19 Pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic has caused many businesses to grind to a halt. Some have been able to adapt and find new ways to meet the needs of their customers, but others haven’t been able to do much more than sit back and wait. For many long-time business owners, this pandemic has proven to be another in a long line of setbacks, including numerous recessions over the last couple of decades. Some are looking at this as a good time to sell their business with help from a Phoenix business broker. However, even if they want to sell, they may not be able to if their business is in a downward spiral. From what I have seen, most buyers are not willing to take the risk of buying a business that has been adversely affected by the pandemic. These business buyers are taking on a wait-n-see attitude. They want to wait till the pandemic passes to see if the business they are looking at has recovered to pre-pandemic sales levels.

Selling Your Business During the Covid-19 Pandemic

If your business has been adversely affected by the pandemic and you are determined to try and sell it now, you should expect to receive low ball offers and attract buyers who will insist that you carry a note for a large part of the purchase price. Help from a Chandler business broker is your best option.

Another challenge sellers are facing is political in nature. Being so close to the Presidential election, a lot of buyers are putting off buying a business until after the election. This usually happens leading up to every Presidential election. Depending on your political persuasion, you may think if Trump wins it will be great and if Biden wins it will be a disaster. Or you may believe the opposite. Either way, Buyers hate uncertainty and some will wait until the results are in.
