Q: Can I sell a business that’s underperforming?
Yes, you can – but how you position it makes all the difference.
An underperforming business isn’t automatically unsellable. Buyers are often looking for opportunities, not perfection. For the right person, lower performance can mean untapped potential, room for growth, and the chance to turn things around.
A broker can help you:
Identify the strengths your business still offers – such as customer base, location, or brand recognition
Highlight growth opportunities buyers can capitalise on
Present the business in the most attractive way through a professional Information Memorandum
Target buyers who see value in turnarounds
And if now isn’t the right time to sell, we can work with you to get your business sale-ready. By strengthening your systems, improving financial presentation, and refining your operations, we’ll help you maximise your business’s selling potential when the timing is right.
