At Atomic, we recognise that selling your lettings or estate agency business is a significant decision, one that goes way beyond financial considerations.
It’s about finding the balance you need to enjoy more of what you love.
As a dedicated team of professionals, we understand the complexities of transitioning from a demanding career to a more fulfilling life. We’re here to guide you through the process with a human touch, ensuring that your needs and aspirations are at the forefront.
Finding a Work-Life Balance
Summer offers a perfect opportunity to reflect on the balance between work and life. For many, this means finding time to spend with family, pursue passions and enjoy personal interests. As busy working parents ourselves, we can relate to the juggle and the struggle! Finding the right balance in life allows you to appreciate the rewards of your hard work and invest time in activities that bring you joy and satisfaction.
Finding the Right Advisory Team
If you’re considering selling your business to find that balance, then choosing the right advisory team is crucial. The process of selling your business can be a complex one and requires expertise, experience and a deep understanding of your unique situation.
We’ve seen firsthand the pitfalls of selecting the wrong team. One recent client nearly faced a disastrous outcome by choosing a team that did not have the necessary industry knowledge, or the skills needed to navigate complex negotiations. This oversight nearly cost them the deal and would have significantly impacted their financial future. Fortunately, they sought the right guidance in time, and we managed to turn things around and achieve a successful sale.
Here’s why selecting the right team matters and how to avoid common mistakes:
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Lack of Due Diligence: When choosing an advisory team, it’s essential to conduct thorough research. Look for teams with a proven track record in the industry. Check their past performance, client testimonials and industry reputation. A team with a solid history of successful transactions in the property sector will be better equipped to handle the complexities of your sale.
Ignoring Personal Goals: Selling a business is not just a financial transaction, it’s a personal journey. Your advisory team should understand and prioritise your personal and professional aspirations. Whether you aim to retire, start a new venture or pursue personal interests, the partner you choose should align their approach to your long-term goals.
Poor Communication: Effective communication is critical to a smooth transition. Your advisory team should keep you informed at every stage of the process, providing regular updates and being readily available to answer your questions. Poor communication can lead to misunderstandings, missed opportunities and unnecessary stress. Choose a team that values transparency and keeps you actively involved. You’re a human being and you should feel like you’re dealing with other human beings!
