Here's How We Can Help.


Selling a business is one of the biggest financial decisions you'll ever make, and it comes with a unique set of challenges. Whether you're planning to retire, move on to a new venture, or simply cash out, you need an expert to guide you through the process. That’s where OConnor Business Brokers comes in.


With years of experience selling businesses across Manitoba and Canada, we offer a tailored, hands-on approach that maximizes your shareholder returns. No two businesses are alike; thus, our approach caters to the unique needs of every opportunity.


Here’s how we help you sell your business for the best price, in the shortest time, and with the most favourable terms.


1. We Understand Your Motivations

Every business sale is unique, and so are the reasons behind it. We take the time to understand your motivations, whether it’s maximizing your retirement savings, moving on to another opportunity, or simply getting out of a business that’s no longer a fit. By understanding both your goals and the business’s value, we can make recommendations that set you up for success.


2. We Market Your Business to the Right Buyers

Once we’ve assessed your business, we create a strategic marketing plan that highlights your business’s strengths and future potential. Whether you have a restaurant business for sale, a landscape company for sale, or a profitable business for sale, we focus on attracting strategically motivated buyers who are ready to buy. Our team works to create compelling marketing materials that highlight key assets—like your customer base, competitive advantages, and growth potential.


3. Generating a Competitive Buyer Pool

The more buyers, the higher the sale price. We work tirelessly to create competition by tapping into our vast network and leveraging business databases. From small businesses for sale to industrial businesses for sale, we confidentially contact potential buyers, pitch your business, and set up meetings. We ensure the process remains discreet and controlled while generating interest from serious, financially capable buyers.


4. Maximizing Your Deal through Negotiation

Once we have interested buyers, the negotiation phase begins. Our brokers are seasoned negotiators who advocate on your behalf, ensuring you get the best terms possible. Whether it’s a gas station business for sale or a plumbing business for sale, we handle all aspects of the deal—speed, price, and terms. Our goal is to secure the best deal for you while protecting your interests at every stage.


5. Managing Due Diligence and Finalizing the Sale

The deal doesn’t end when a buyer expresses interest. Due diligence can be a tricky phase, and many things can go wrong. We manage the due diligence process to ensure all parties are satisfied and that the transaction moves forward smoothly. From verifying financials to ensuring the buyer understands what they’re purchasing, we keep everything on track and negotiate any final adjustments. We work with all involved parties to ensure channels of communication remain open, and things progress smoothly.

  • How We Value Your Business

    The value of your business is based on both what it owns (assets) and what it earns (profits). Our team uses a combination of methods to determine the right price, including:


    • Asset-Based Valuation: This looks at your business’s tangible assets (like equipment and inventory) and intangible assets (like trademarks or customer lists).

    • Earnings Multiple: For businesses with steady, growing earnings, we apply a multiple to determine value, ensuring the price reflects both current and future performance.

    • Market Comparison: We consider recent sales of similar businesses, including franchise businesses for sale, construction business for sale, and others in your industry to ensure a competitive price.
