Not Ready To Sell? Plan Your Business Exit Strategy Instead
Business owners should start succession planning at least 3 to 5 years in advance. A business exit plan requires a team of professionals, including an accountant, a lawyer, and a wealth manager. Many business owners postpone exit planning because it can be difficult to put together all of the pieces of the puzzle. Robbinex can step in at any point to relieve the stress of planning.

Why Choose Robbinex to Sell Your Business?
01
Confidentiality
Business owners are often concerned about valuable information falling into the hands of competitors, and do not want clients or employees to learn that the business is for sale.
Our process is designed to manage and minimize the risk of information leakage, and reduce the time that the company is on the market, further minimizing risk.
02
Competitive Process
It is not uncommon for there to be interest from multiple prospective purchasers, resulting from Robbinex’s Phase Two Seven-Step Marketing Plan™.
The Robbinex team is experienced in dealing with multiple offer situations to achieve the best possible results for their clients.
03
ISO 9001-2015
The International Standards Organization is an international body that certifies that processes and systems meet defined standards, ensuring effective quality management. Our process is audited annually to ensure that our clients receive consistent service, regardless of each unique case.
Robbinex Inc. is the only business intermediary/business brokerage company in the world certified by the International Standards Organization for the process of selling a business.
04
No Asking Price
The Robbinex® NAPP™ (No Asking Price Program)
Robbinex doesn’t assigned an asking price since qualified buyers understand and appreciate that the value of a business is more than just dollars and cents. Business Value is often determined by a wide number of factors including:
- Tax planning and future cash flows
- Earn-outs and royalty programs
- Real estate ownership and standing lease agreements
- Asset vs Share (stock) sales
- On/Off balance sheet considerations
- Non-compete agreements, and/or consulting contracts
- Synergistic considerations

Buyer Qualification
Robbinex’s Buyer Qualification Program identifies individuals and corporations that are ready for a new challenge. This process verifies that buyers possess the financial resources to not only purchase a business, but to make it a profitable and rewarding venture.
Qualified buyers must provide financial capability information and sign Robbinex’s Confidentiality Agreement that clearly sets out the rules of engagement for both the buyer and seller.
06
Virtual Data Room
Virtual Data Rooms provide an online virtual deal room solution, designed to streamline document management, collaboration, secure file sharing and archiving of our clients’ confidential information.
Each file is password-protected and time-stamped so that we can determine who has been visiting the data room, the length of time they remained, the files they accessed and what they printed. Each item printed is watermarked.
The combination of a Phase One COSATA® process and a Virtual Data Room simplifies and speeds up the due diligence process for both sides of a deal.
