Can an unprofitable business still be sold?

Yes. While profitability is an important consideration, it is not the only factor buyers evaluate. Some buyers are attracted to businesses because of their customer base, location, equipment, brand recognition, intellectual property, growth potential, or opportunities to improve operations.

Understanding why the business is underperforming—and whether those challenges can be addressed—often plays an important role in determining buyer interest.
