If you’re planning to sell your business, there’s one proven move that can significantly increase your final sale price – Engaging a strategic brand marketing expert early!

This step alone can be the difference between selling for a standard market value… or walking away with a premium result.

Why? Because the true value of your business isn’t just in your revenue and physical assets, it’s in your brand. The stronger your brand reputation, customer trust, and loyalty, the more attractive and valuable your business becomes to buyers.

Investing in professional brand marketing now ensures you’re not just selling a business, but a powerful, trusted brand that commands a higher price, and that’s exactly what smart buyers are willing to pay for.

Your Business Value Isn’t Just in Sales and Assets

When a potential buyer looks at your business, they’re assessing three key areas:

1️⃣ Sales and Revenue: The historical and projected income.
2️⃣ Equipment and Assets: Physical and intellectual property, plant / equipment.
3️⃣ Brand Equity: The reputation, loyalty, goodwill, and trust you’ve built.

Many owners focus heavily on revenue and assets, but it’s the brand equity that often tips the scale in negotiations. A strong brand tells buyers your business is trusted, recognised, and positioned for sustainable growth long after you’re gone.

The Brand IS the Value

Your brand isn’t your logo or a few social media posts, it’s the reputation behind your name. It’s what your business stands for in the eyes of your customers. It’s the trust, consistency, and loyalty that buyers crave because it gives them confidence in the future income of your business.

Yet, too often, business owners pour money into product promotions or seasonal campaigns while ignoring the long game – building brand value.

Social Posts Are Not a Strategic Brand

Let’s be clear: putting up social posts about your products and services is not the same as a strategic brand marketing program.

If you’re planning to sell your business soon, and you don’t know the difference, NOW is the time to stop and rethink. Poor brand positioning can leave thousands, even millions, on the table when you sign that sale agreement.

Your Business Broker Sells the Business — NOT the Brand

Your broker’s job is to promote your business to buyers, manage negotiations, and help close the deal. It is not their job to build or strengthen your brand. That work must be done well in advance – by you, with the right brand marketing partner.
