When the time comes to sell your business jet, what are some critical factors you need to consider before placing the aircraft on the market to ensure you maintain control of the transaction process, achieve a successful outcome and minimize your deal costs?
Many owners make the decision to sell their aircraft based on the expectation of a future event, whether that is a new aircraft coming on the market, the end of a lease, or the sale or expansion of their company. It is often found that the event driving the decision has a specific date for closing, and this is also the desired date for the sale of the current aircraft.
As a seller of a corporate aircraft, the benefits of properly preparing a sound game plan for putting your jet on the market comes down to appropriate long-term planning. Such a strategy should be cornerstoned by a well thought-out business plan, which strategically takes into account market conditions and your company’s growth. Most importantly, knowing the true value of your aircraft in today’s marketplace is an essential first step toward a successful sale.
