ALL-INCLUSIVE PIANO TUNING BUSINESS SALE PACKAGES

   When contemplating the sale of your piano tuning business, there are a myriad of factors to consider —so many more than just price! Will you include training?  Will you or can you afford to owner-finance the sale?  Will you sell your hard assets or your stock shares in the company?  Are you incorporated, and what are the implications of that?  What are the tool values, website values, client lists, phone numbers, and your business name worth? At Bradshaw Piano Business Consultants, we promise to help you navigate these complicated questions. 

We offer two packages for the piano tuning business owner who is looking to sell their piano tuning business. The Educational Package is designed to provide you with all the necessary tools and to teach you everything you need to know to find your own buyer and close the sale yourself. The Educational Package consists of the following:

                  1. Your personalized Piano Business Valuation Appraisal. 

                                                2. Discuss 1st Steps: online presence, websites, lists, inventories, tools, etc. 

                                                       3. Discuss/Secure outside resources: Attorneys, CPAs, our Buyer and Seller List. 

                                         4. A mock sale scenario and rehearsal before actually offering it for sale. 

                                                   5. The answering of all your questions as they occur throughout the mock sale.

                                                         6. Continued access to our team during your sale, who will answer your questions.

                                                    7. All the tools needed to Close a sale, including the 1, 2, 3 sequence of events.

                                                         8. A strategy and methodology textbook on selling your own piano tuning business.

Educational Package fee: $1,995

 For technicians who don’t want to be responsible for all of the above, we offer a Full-Service “All Done For You” package; we take care of everything from A to Z. 

The Piano Business Sale Package includes all of the above Educational Package elements, plus, a partnership to sell your piano tuning business. Our team works with you one one-on-one, walking you through all the steps of selling your business, from start to finish! From the initial feasibility evaluation to our nation-wide marketing of your business, through confirmation of all tax and financial information, through a mock sale rehearsal, to our team finding you a Buyer, to your acceptance of a check, we will be with you and by your side! 

You'll be dealing with Mr. Barry Bradshaw, owner, 53-year tenure self-employed piano technician and 16-year tenure Baldwin Factory Quality Control Manager. Most importantly, a veteran of having sold his piano tuning business in 2020 for $150,000. He knows the pre-requisites of what it takes to sell a piano tuning business and to obtain the money you deserve for all your efforts. 

The other part of Your Team is Mr. Mark Cerisano, a 25-year tenure RPT with the PTG, founder and owner of IPTS, International Piano Technician School, mechanical engineeer and musical educator. Mark's expertise in marketing and online presence will "make all the difference" when it comes to spreading the word to other technicians and potential buyers of your piano tuning business. Mark also bought a piano tuning business 20 years ago, so he has personal experience in the purchasing of businesses, not just in the selling of them.

 Our team offers you 78 years of piano business experience, in addition to real-world, actual sales and purchases of piano tuning businesses in both the U.S. and Canada.

 Full-Service Piano Business Sale Package fee: 6% of the sales price at Closing. 

No money is owed until we deliver you a successful Closing. The fee is obtained from the Closing proceeds. A 6-month Listing Agreement is required.
