Selling a Business

4. Sales Memorandum

The Sales Memorandum is the initial marketing document sent to interested parties. It is written jointly by the management and your corporate adviser. It should:

4.1 Make the business sound attractive.

4.2 Be a source of hard information for buyers.

4.3 Show that the business can be improved.

  • This is particularly important when the buyer plans to be a hands-on manager.
