Selling your business for maximum return
Achieving a successful business sale is not something that can be taken for granted. At any point in time, there are thousands of businesses for sale across every imaginable industry, price point and location, all claiming to be a great buy.
There are plenty of people offering their opinion as to the value of your business, how to sell it and claiming that it’s easy.
Of course selling your business just isn’t that simple.
Our approach…….
To start with, you need to consider the best approach for the sale of your business, as one rule does not fit all businesses.
You also need to ensure that you position your business correctly so that your business is saleable.
A purchaser must be able to see that the business can trade successfully without you – otherwise they will not buy it.
Calculating the value of your business
With the business then in the correct shape to sell and the decision made to sell it, you need to assemble the right information to calculate the value of your business.
It is around this point where some large numbers will get thrown around and it will feel like you may already be in a bidding war – and this is only from those wanting to sell your business!!!
A very astute Business Broker once said to me, don’t appraise and list a business you don’t believe you can sell for that value….
Appraising a business is not possible from a quick glance, nor is a high value the best option – a correctly appraised business provides maximum value to the vendor – but remains saleable in the market.
When we appraise a business for sale, we will not only declare what we believe it’s worth, but we will also:
- explain how we came to that number
- why we have added back or adjusted the declared profit; and
- how we came to any earnings multiple we may have used.
When it comes to debating the sale price with a potential purchaser, you will be able to defend and justify the asking price.
