Maximize the Business Valuation of Your Sporting Goods Store

If you are thinking about selling your business sometime in the next few years, it is time to start working on maximizing its value.  Maximizing your business value is directly associated with reducing the buyer’s perceived risks.  Buyers determine the value they are willing to pay for your business based on their perceived “Risk vs. [...]

If you are thinking about selling your business sometime in the next few years, it is time to start working on maximizing its value.  Maximizing your business value is directly associated with reducing the buyer’s perceived risks.  Buyers determine the value they are willing to pay for your business based on their perceived “Risk vs. Reward”.  They often focus on the risks because they fear losing their investment if something goes wrong.  I’ve listed some great ways to reduce buyer fears, and also maximize your business value.

Bookkeeping

The number one way to maximize your business’ value is to get approved for SBA lending.  Third-party financing increases your business value by allowing the buyer to put less money down, providing a better cash-flow analysis.  It also pays you more money when the business sale closes because the lender will be financing the majority of the purchase price.  In today’s economy, banks providing SBA lending require a rigorous evaluation process and solid documentation, including tax returns, income statements, accounts receivable/payable, financial recasts, and other specific documents.  Having a bookkeeper accurately maintaining your accounts and finances is a great way to keep your information organized and easily accessible.  Clean books and records will also make the due diligence process easy for a buyer.

Inventory Management

Your business relies on turning inventory, and without proper inventory management, a buyer will have a hard time determining if your inventory is making or losing money.  In sporting goods, new equipment lines roll out every 3-12 months.  Know the product lines you are selling and have a tangible system in place that identifies which items are selling and which are not.  This will help you decide when to put last season’s equipment and apparel on the sale racks so you can replace them with the new season’s products.  When a buyer looks at your business, they want to see that you are turning inventory quickly and not wasting space with items that aren’t selling.

Transferable Marketing Plan

What is your marketing plan?  Finding, servicing, and retaining customers IS the sporting goods retail business.  When a buyer feels they can duplicate or even improve on existing marketing strategies, they feel more confident about your business.  Be able to present a formal marketing plan and demonstrate how it is transferable to the new owner.  It will help your business stay on track and reduce the buyer’s perceived risk of taking over your business.

Customer Loyalty

If your customers come to your store because of your personal expertise, it may mean that they are loyal to you more than your store.  Customer loyalty is a large part of your goodwill, and a buyer wants to feel confident that those customers will come back once you are gone.  Have a plan to train the buyer and have an exit strategy that considers you staying on part-time until customers feel as confident with the new owner as they are with you.

Lease

For sporting goods retail, location is very important to your success.  If you have a great location, buyers will place higher value on longer leases with favorable terms because they want to secure the location.  Know the details of your lease, and maintain a good relationship with the landlord.  A happy landlord can expedite the process of transferring the lease and prevent the deal from falling apart.

Fully Equipped Restaurant in Great LA Location Asking: $329,000 * Gross: $300,000 * Net: $0

Fully-equipped Restaurant in Very Busy Area of Downtown Los Angeles!

This fantastic restaurant is located in downtown LA within walking distance of both the Jewelry and Fashion districts with very high foot traffic. Less than a year ago, the owner completed a beautiful $450,000 build-out! This large space is now equipped with all top-of-the-line fixtures and equipment including granite countertops, walk-in refrigerator & freezer, fryers, convection ovens, commercial range hood, and even a state-of-the-art security system. Ready to serve, the space provides seating for more than 40 customers.

The business is surrounded by visitors and tourists during the day, and locals residing in downtown lofts are within walking distance in the evening. Currently, the owner is only able to hold the business open until 6pm during the week, and it is completely closed on weekends. This leaves tremendous opportunity for a new owner to take advantage of weekend and evening crowds!

Additional opportunity to increase sales volume significantly for an owner who understands the lower price-point food industry. The owner is unable to continue growing the business due to other business ventures, and is ready to sell. This opportunity will not last long!

Busy Self-Serve Frozen Yogurt near Topanga Mall Asking: $95,000 * Gross: $164,000 * Net: $71,000

Own a popular frozen yogurt shop with all the works for just $95,000!!! This shop has it all…custom-built space, busy location, and a great customer base!

This name brand frozen yogurt shop is quickly becoming a neighborhood favorite and has the location to keep it growing. Unlike other name brand ice cream and frozen yogurt shops, this is a NON-franchise, so the owner does not pay franchise fees or royalties of any kind. This helps keep the prices low and the profit margins high!

Located on a very busy street near the Westfield Topanga Mall, this shop is surrounded by restaurants, shops, a school, and Senior Center. All of these drive traffic to this highly desirable location. The current owner spent $300,000 building out the retail space and customized it with $125,000 in Fixtures, Furniture, & Equipment (FF&E). All of the equipment was bought brand new 2 years ago and everything is top-of-the-line, including an air conditioning system and flat screen television!

The frozen yogurt industry is expected to top $28 Billion in sales in 2012. Today’s generations are more health-conscious than ever, and the frozen yogurt industry has placed itself in position to sustain growth for a long time to come.

This opportunity does not come along often and it will not last long!

Jered Chapman just launched a new listing: http://www.bizex.net/listing/428

Retail Battery & Service Center Asking: $250,000 * Gross: $424,000 * Net: $86,000

Own a retail business that keeps up with the times! In the ever-changing world of technology, this battery retail store powers everything from Apple Ipods to Sea-Doo Jet Skis!

This well-known store provides battery sales and related services to accommodate nearly any commercial and residential need. Having commercial and retail markets, the business provides power cells for Media Production Companies, Alarm systems, laptops, and more! Many companies, such as UPS, FedEx, and local Police Departments, like this business for its supply of a particular battery used in various handheld devices that is very hard to find.

With access to over 30,000 batteries and accessories, any item not in stock can be delivered quickly. The store also boasts a state-of-the-art Tech Center with a battery expert who is capable of creating new custom batteries, as well as rebuilding old battery packs. This is perfect for businesses and consumers who have a device that requires a battery that is no longer produced or has a battery that would be very expensive to replace!

Established in 2003, the current owners took over this location in 2008 and saw record sales that year with the expansion of their commercial market accounts. Only one of the owners operates the business, but he has not had the time or energy to proactively generate new business accounts. With no B2B sales or business development, this store has still seen remarkable profits. Taking advantage of untapped revenue sources and adding a B2B sales initiative, this business could grow to record sales under the right ownership.

Located in a busy commercial district, this business is also close to a major interstate and residential neighborhoods.
