If you are interested in our business brokerage services, please get in touch with us. We will help manage the sale process and ensure a smooth transition for the sellers involved.
Our greatest strength and experience is evaluating companies so as a Seller, you understand what your company may be worth in the market place for sale. We have historically been very accurate in determing value because we have had our hands on the "pulse of the market" for 40 plus years. We are able to advise in advance on all the issues that may come up in a typical transaction so there are limited surprises throughout the process.
Generally businesses are sold on a Capitalization Rate and a "return on investment" for the buyers in the market. The buyers may include, Private Equity Funds, Search Funds, Strategic Buyers, or Economic Buyers (Individuals).
Businesses sell based on a multiple of Net Earnings or EBITDA, and there is a list of Value Indicators that will determine the multiple and the Goodwill Value. The key indicators will be items such as Recurring Revenue, Annual Growth Rate, High Gross Profit Margins, Assets Included, Middle Management, Regional or National Customer Base, Barriers to Entry, Longevity, etc. There may be 15 to 20 items that affect and dictate the multiplier, and our experience in the market place makes us experts in this process.
What Business Owners Need to Think About in Preparing for a Sale:
1. Financial Accounting needs to be in order
2. Improve all processes
3. Increase efficiencies if able
4. Increase Revenue if able
5. Tax Ramifications of a Sale
