Many people have invested in their Caravan Park with the intent of gaining retirement funds by selling their Caravan Park. Before you go forward with   

          the selling  of your Caravan Park here are some  best practices that you should follow to begin getting your Caravan Park ready to sell.

          Caravan Park in order. 

1. Organize: Once you list your Caravan Park for sale, prospective buyers will perform substantial due diligence. Unlike selling your home, where a walk through or two and a home inspection are the norm, business buyers and their advisors will require lots of paper. Get ahead start organizing and updating now.

2. Financial: As Caravan Parks sales are based on a multiple of the cash flow, Assets, Location & type of Caravan Park, Caravan Park buyers generally require at least three to Five years' worth of financial information (Income Statement, Balance Sheet and Statement of Cash Flows). All the financials will have to come from your accountant. You'll make the due diligence easier for a buyer and the sales process will be quicker.

3. Legal: Review your Business Registration, Licence to operate a caravan park, permits, licensing agreements, leases, customer and vendor contracts, Current Inventory, Site Map, List of Permanents and rent payed per week, etc. Make sure you have them readily available for your Caravan Park Broker, current and in order. Many a Caravan Park sale has been held up or scuttled at the last minute because of incomplete documentation.
