Keys to Selling Your Business

Knowing what a business buyer wants is the key to selling your business and getting the best price for it.  In this market climate, most buyers are looking for two things, a cash flowing business and a deal.  Here are a few things that a business buyer is gong to want to know that will allow the buyer to asses the situation and determine if yours is the right business for them.

• Is the business currently producing an income for the owner?
• Is the business seller retiring and fully funded his or her retirement plans?          • Does the sale of the business only represent a small part of the retirement portfolio?
• Is the business debt free?
• Do the financials show that the depreciation schedules are completely exhausted?

Affirmative answers to these questions tell the business buyer that the business is making enough money for their needs and you are indeed in a financial position to sell your business and sell it within the constraints of the marketplace.

Another thing that a buyer is going to want to know about is your plan for the future.  Nobody wants to get to the closing table only to have the owner decide that he or she wants to keep the business.  Equally, nobody wants to buy a business only to find out that you’re going to open a competing business.  This is why buyers like sellers that are clearly of retirement age and means.  If your business is complex or highly personal in nature, a buyer may require that you stay involved in the business for a period of time to provide a seamless transition.  If you have dreams of selling your business and moving to the Caribbean, this might be achievable. You may only have to adjust your time line a bit.

Now that you know some of the keys to attracting a buyer for your business, the next step is to find the right buyer for your business.  To do that you’re going to want someone to help you who understands business buyers.

Kendric Foultz is a certified business broker with decades of experience in deal making and working with business buyers and sellers.  Feel free to give him a call regarding your business related issues at 310-968-2369.

Why isn’t my business selling?

Almost nothing is as upsetting to a business owner than listing their business for sale and then having it sit on the market for months with no activity on it!  “What is wrong, why haven’t you sold my business” you ask the business broker.  The answer might be complex or very simple.  The best thing [...]

Almost nothing is as upsetting to a business owner than listing their business for sale and then having it sit on the market for months with no activity on it!  “What is wrong, why haven’t you sold my business” you ask the business broker.  The answer might be complex or very simple.  The best thing to do as a business seller is to ask yourself a basic question.  “Does this offering make sense?  Would I buy my own business as presented?”

Put yourself in the Buyer’s shoes and price your business accordingly.  First of all the asking price and terms have to make financial sense relative to the historical earnings of the business along with future positive outlook for the business and  its industry.  In a great many cases, it’s the asking price that is preventing the sale.  Next take a look at the terms.  If the business has been approved for SBA financing then terms shouldn’t be a problem.  If the sale doesn’t qualify for outside financing and the seller wants more than 50% down payment then you are likely to have a problem.  Ask the business broker to show how the business would cash flow for a new owner.

Goodwill will likely be the most valuable element of your business.  A credible Confidential Business Review will substantiate the value to a Buyer and increase the likelihood of getting a reasonable offer.  Make sure that the business broker has been able to create a Confidential Business Review of the business that paints  an accurate picture of what is going on with your operation.  There should not be any significant gaps that would cause a serious buyer to wonder why relevant information is not included.  That is one of the best ways to turn off a good buyer.  While no two businesses are exactly the same, they do share many common elements and the buyers want to compare these elements from business to business.

Finally, make sure you’re getting the word out to the right buyer. Have a complete understanding of what the business broker is doing to market your business.  Sometimes an owner will know of something that would help the marketing efforts of the broker and should let the broker know right away.  This might be something like a particular trade journal or industry conference.  Don’t forget that this is a team effort.

Malibu Tree Service Asking: $399,000 * Gross: $600,000 * Net: $150,000

Tree trimming business for sale has been established in the Ventura and Los Angeles county markets for many years. Owner is retiring and relocating to the East Coast. This business has a well known name in the industry and much of the business is from repeat customers. There is plenty of room for a young new owner to grow the business as the current owner grew the business to the level that satisfied his person needs and no more. The business can be run from a home office and currently maintains a very reasonably priced lot to locate its vehicles and tools. The business has been steady for the last several years and should show organic growth as the economy improves and neglected trees require maintenance. The owner claims an SDE of between $150k and $200k depending on the year. This is currently a pure service business and requires no inventory. This could be an opportunity for someone in the landscaping business to add another dimension to their current operation. The business utilizes a small staff and then hires out the labor as required to satisfy the demand. If you would like more information please go to www.bizex.net and “register” or you may contact Kendric Foultz directly at 310-968-2369.
