Business fluctuates and can be seasonal. Some small businesses rely on holiday sales to carry them through the year. Unfortunately during tough economic times, holiday sales have dropped too. When alternatives to stay afloat start to bottom out, you may not have any other option but to sell.

1. Customers. Retaining your customers, having repeat business makes your business that much more attractive to a potential buyer. It shows them that they will have a customer base when they take over.

2. Credit. Stay current on your payments to wholesalers. New owners may have to establish a relationship with them, but if your business has a reputation of paying on time and buying frequently, it will make their relationship that much more sound.

3.Inventory. If you own the building but your business has gone down dramatically, rent your building to another entity completely. Sell your inventory to other similar businesses. Post the sell of your inventory in your local paper, trade magazines, and on-line sources.

4. Landlord. If you rent your space and sell your business, make sure the proper paperwork is complete with your landlord. Depending on your lease, you maybe financially responsible for the duration of your lease.

5. Sell the business. If you own the building, you can sell the business at one price and collect rentfrom the new business owners
