If you are a retiring business owner looking to sell your business in Ontario, here are six tips to get you started:


1. 
Plan for your exit. Selling a small and medium size machine shop business in Ontario can take a long time, so it's important to start early and have a clear strategy.

2. Know your objectives and expectations. What are you looking for in a buyer? What are your financial and personal goals? How much are you willing to compromise?

3. Understand your company's value. This is a crucial step to take when planning to sell your manufacturing business in Ontario. You need to know how much your business is worth and what factors influence its valuation.

4. Find the right buyer for your business. There are different types of buyers in the market, such as strategic buyers, financial buyers, or individual investors. You need to find the one that matches your criteria and has the resources and expertise to close the deal.

5. Be ready for due diligence. This is when buyers will want to know everything about your business, from its financial performance to its operational processes. You need to be prepared to provide accurate and complete information and answer any questions they may have.

6. Be flexible and open-minded. Negotiating a deal can be challenging and complex, so you need to be willing to adapt and compromise on some aspects of the deal.
