HOW TO SELL YOUR BUSINESS WHEN YOU ARE THE KEY TO YOUR BUSINESS

August 11, 2011 by Dan Munter

In a perfect world, when owners decide to sell their business, a buyer will come forward and write a check for the full asking price. In the real world, this rarely happens. There are so many reasons why this rarely occurs.  In this blog, I want to focus on one of the most important issues. One of the biggest risks for a buyer is whether the business will survive without the seller’s presence, knowledge and relationships.  I want to give you some actual examples of businesses I have both recently sold and am in the process of selling.

5 Essential Items to Sell Your Business Quickly

June 03, 2010 by Dan Munter

As a business broker and as a former business owner, I know that the decision to sell a business is not easy. But once it is made, I know that usually the seller wants to sell it as soon as possible. I always tell a seller to pretend that they are the buyer looking at buying their business. What would they need to see to decide to buy the business? From my experience and my logic, I have come up with a list of 5 items that really facilitate the selling process. 1) Have  credible P&Ls for the past 3 years. 2) Have financial records to verify the value of the inventory and FF&E 3) Make sure that the key employees will stay employed 4) Make sure that the landlord is willing to lease for reasonable terms 5) Make sure that the key customers will continue to buy services or products.

Can positive thinking really make a difference?

April 16, 2010 by Dan Munter

Recently I was interviewed for an upcoming video called “Success Can be Simple”. All of us who deal in the world of business may agree that success can be simple, but most of us know in reality that it rarely is. Many of us are confronted with obstacles on a daily basis that are not of our own making. We may have the best business plans in place, yet often find ourselves dealing with problems that distract us from following those plans. We may have goals to grow our business but spend every day feeling overwhelmed. In the enclosed video I tell a story that I hope you find both inspiring and educational. The first video is only 6 minutes long. I am interviewed in the last 3 minutes if you want to fast forward to my story.. If you find this helpful, please let me know.

BUYING A BUSINESS WITHOUT THE EMOTION

March 30, 2010 by Dan Munter

Buying a business has many similarities to buying a stock. They both require appraising the value of a company to make sure that you buy at a price which will give you the ability to grow your investment and earn an income (dividend). A careful analysis will use many of the same tools for appraisal. Both buyers will look at the multiple of earnings (P/E ratio), the multiple of revenues (p/s ratio). They will also look at macro trends within the industry of the business/stock and within the general economy. They will both look at what is the barrier of entry into the business.

BOSS Theory- What small business buyer should look for

March 23, 2010 by Dan Munter

I recently participated in a Webinar on How to Buy a Business by industry expert Richard Parker (Diomo.com) and one of the topics discussed really hit home for me... There are 4 qualities of a business that will help a new small business succeed with his new purchase. The 4 components can be remembered with the anagram called the BOSS Theory: B-Bland. A business that is today's 'hot new business" will become the 'out of style business' of tomorrow. A bland business is less vulnerable to fads and innovation. O- Operational sound. Buying a turn-around business is very risky. There are people who specialize in turning around companies. It really takes a different skill set then simply running a business. There are enough challenges in taking over a business without having to engineer a turn around.

Thinking of selling your Maid Service Franchise? What you need to know.

March 03, 2010 by Dan Munter

There are 14 franchise enterprises that focus primarily in the residential market. According to a recent report from information company FRANdata, the franchises of residential cleaning companies are growing at annual rate of 10% . There are two main Rules of Thumb for valuing these businesses. • 40% to 45% of annual sales plus inventory. • 1.5 times DE (Discretionary Earnings). Other selling points would be the exclusivity of the territory assigned to the franchise. How long the franchise has been established for. How long any competing franchises have been established in the same territory. And if there is any open territories in surrounding areas. If you would like to learn more, please contact me at dmunter@bizex.net.
