A Strategic Business Sale Case Study
December 03, 2010 by Kendric Foultz
A strategic business sale takes place when the buyer finds additional value in the business for sale than the average financial buyer is able to identify. Most small businesses for sale, if positioned correctly, will attract a number of possible buyers. But in some cases the business for sale in question might be so specialized in its market as to require a very unique buyer. I recently brokered the sale of a specialized jewelry design and manufacturing business that posed this very challenge. The only viable buyers for this business were well known by the seller. These prospects did not know that owner was interested in selling his business and it was my job to keep it that way until we had secured enough general interest in the opportunity.
Assessing the Assets of Your Business
July 06, 2010 by Robert Dean
If you are thinking about selling your business, it would be greatly beneficial to catalog all of your assets in order to help with a successful sale. A business's value is calculated in part by its list of assets. The more you can substantiate your asset value, the more it will increase the business value. Assets are different in every business, and one asset may be more or less important depending on the business and industry. Make sure that you write down and understand how all of your assets contribute to the success of the business. Some of the assets that a seller needs to address include: Equipment: Is the equipment old or new? What condition is it? What's the replacement value? Trade name, Trademarks, & Patents: Does your name and product represent value to your customers? Inventory: How much inventory do your have? What condition is it in? What's the value? Customer & Database Contacts: How many contacts do you have? How many are repeat customers?
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.

What do you do as a business owner if your business is in an impossible situation and is taking you down with it? Depending on the ownership structure, you may be able sell it in what essentially looks like a real estate short sale or otherwise known as a pro rata escrow.
Qualifying A Buyer For Your Business
May 12, 2010 by Robert Dean
When selling a business, you want the most qualified person to purchase your company. Finding the right buyer is the key to a smooth sales transaction, and will also contribute to the continued success and growth of the company. When qualifying a buyer, you want someone who is both financially capable, and also someone who has the business knowledge & experience to take the company to the next level. Business Brokers will look at many aspects of the buyer in order to qualify them. The key is to make sure that they are the right fit for the company. In regard to their business experience, a broker will examine several factors, including: Educational Background Have they owned a business General Management Experience Marketing & Sales Experience Operational Experience Inventory Management Do their skills compliment the company Communication & Customer Service skills

April 23, 2010 by Kendric Foultz
To help a small business seller understand how buyers value businesses, I like to use this analogy. If you bought a nice car fifteen years ago and took very good care of it, chances are that it looks pretty much how it did when you bought it. It still runs great and does the job that you got it for in the first place. If you take care, it could keep going for decades. Now lets say you bought that car for thirty thousand dollars. What do you think you could get for that car today?
