What is the best way to sell or lease my business?

Open marketing

The best way to grab people’s attention when selling a property is to put all your cards on the table and make it clear that you want to sell and disclose full details of what you are sellng. This creates more publicity and more interest which can create competition between prospective buyers or lessees effectively pushing up the price of your property and accelerating the selling/leasing process. Put all your cards on the table and there is only one way forward. Open marketing is the most sure-fire way of sealing a deal and can often result in a much higher selling price being obtained for your hotel or gastronomy property. When choosing open marketing it is absolutely vital that all staff, business partners, banks, etc. are involved in the selling process so as to avoid potential problems in day-to-day business.

Discreet marketing

This involves testing the waters without arousing widespread suspicion. This type of marketing works by conveying just enough information via suitable forms of marketing to selected markets to make potential buyers or lessees want to know more. They will then contact one of our expert brokers and only after their identity, intentions and available equity have been successfully verified, will we disclose further information and documents about your business. Discreet marketing aims to prevent suppliers, partners, guests, staff, etc. finding about your plans to sell and therefore limits any disruptive effects on day-to-day business. We nevertheless highly recommend that you inform your bank(s), tax advisor and legal advisor about your plans to sell. Make sure you are well-prepared for the eventuality that other parties do find out about your plans. Your personal hotel broker can help you do this.

The hotel brokers at ASPI AG will be able to develop a tailored marketing strategy for your property based on your requirements and status quo.
