ABC BUSINESS

WELCOME

What Doom and Gloom??

Some NZ Herald quotes - “Bargains Galore Beyond The Bombays”. “As the property market slump deepens…”. “REINZ data shows national sales down 42%...”. “Mortgagee sales are rising…”.

All this media attention to the state of the residential real estate market is giving the impression that ALL real estate is in a slump. Don’t be fooled. We, at ABC, the country’s largest business broking company, are enjoying better than average sales this year. We are very short on listings. We need product. If your business is showing good profits, we believe that we can show you how to effectively market your business and achieve a premium price on sale. The length of time to sell a business this year is less than last year completely opposite to residential sales.

In business sales there is no doom and gloom. Our sector of the industry is very buoyant. Now is the time to list and sell. It is as easy as a phone call away.

Don’t hesitate to call either Steve Smith or Richie Lowe for a friendly discussion on your business and the right timing for a sale.

Regards,

Steve Smith AREINZ

PROMOTIONAL BUSINESS

Overview

This business operates under a licence to an international company producing a variety of printed, promotional materials. It has been operating for over 10 years and has proven performance in a huge yet fragmented market place. All manufacturing services are outsourced making it an easily run, administration and management based opportunity. It requires no special skills beyond an ability to manage and coordinate a small team of contractors and handle customer inquiries.

The business enjoys a significant share of approximately 70% of its target market. It produces very consistent revenues and positive cashflow with an extremely healthy bottom line.

Overheads are kept to a minimum with much of the infrastructure managed by the head office website. This facility coordinates all the processes from purchasing and delivery to installation and invoicing.

The business hours are very flexible, requiring only about 5 or 6 hours per day to run effectively. This means it could easily be run as a joint operation alongside another business or purchased as an add-on to an existing business.

$460,000.00 including stock (approx $86,000.00)

You Can't Sell A Secret

Richie Lowe AREINZ

Would you market your house in an automotive publication or would you market your car in the real estate columns? Not likely. You would want to market your business in the most effective medium where it would count most and get you the best result. ABC is arguably the most effective marketer of businesses for sale than any company in the country and actively targets the largest number of potential buyers.

Marketing your business through dedicated, specialists business brokerage ABC, can maximise your exposure to quality buyers locally, nationally and internationally. A mismanaged, piecemeal, marketing campaign will only expose your business to a small percentage of potential buyers, a “hit and miss” attitude that is not in your best interests. ABC dominates the weekend “Businesses for Sale” section of the major metropolitan news media in the country as this is where most buyers look prior to making a purchase. So it is just a matter of using common sense and having your marketing dollar spent wisely and most effectively.

Having the sale process managed effectively, makes the process smoother, maximises your prospects and allows you to get a better price.

Richie Lowe is General Manager of Affiliated Business Consultants Ltd (ABC) and Chairman of the Business Brokers Division of the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand.
