Hi

We can position your business NOW for a sale early in the new year.

Welcome to our final newsletter of 2006. Many of you will go into the holiday period pondering a possible change of career or business direction for the new year. Traditionally in the months of January and February, we receive many enquiries from potential purchasers looking for that alternative to the salary or wage position, and from investors looking for better rates of return and cashflows than are available from more conservative investments such as property or shares. They see business ownership as the vehicle to fulfill their requirements. So now is an ideal time for us to prepare your business to capture this enquiry and give you an exit prior to the end of the financial year.

Call us today for a confidential discussion on how we can maximize your exit price.

holySheet! as a retail concept has been pilot tested over a sixteen year period in Australia. They have expanded into every state and now have over 20 stores. During this period they have built a reputation as one of the most innovative and exciting homeware retailers in Australia. Their success is built on a commitment to delighting customers with a surprising and fulfilling shopping experience. The tens of thousands of VIP customers on the data base can attest to that.

There is no offering like holySheet! in New Zealand and a significant gap exists in the market for accessible, fashionable bedroom and bathroom homewares.

Two of the owners of holySheet! are Kiwis and it seemed logical that they bring the concept across the Tasman. The first two stores opened in Auckland in October 2006 and the opportunity is now offered for individuals to share in holySheet!’s success through the purchase of a holySheet! franchise in New Zealand.

If you want a business that offers more than just a great return on your money, that offers an outlet for creativity, the excitement of changing design and fashion, the stimulation of satisfying diverse customer needs – a holySheet! franchise is the business for you!

The combination of your talent and enthusiasm, with a backup is the key. You will be in business for yourself, not by yourself! The training and support extends not just to you but all your staff, to ensure the level of professionalism in your business that sets holySheet! apart from it’s competitors.

If you want a business you can feel passionate about, joining holySheet! may be one of the best life decisions you ever make.

Time It Right

Deciding when to sell your business is important. Both you and your business must be ready. You need to determine what the company is worth now and how its value may change in the next few years. While a prospective buyer will want to see historical financial data, he or she is also likely to be concerned about your business’s growth potential and the future prospects for your industry.

Don’t be tempted to discuss your intention to sell with everyone you meet. If word of a possible sale reached the wrong ears, you might lose customers, suppliers or key employees, any of which could have a negative impact on your sales effort. Be sure buyers are qualified before you release proprietary data and, once you enter into negotiations and start to disclose valuable information, insist on the prospective buyer’s confidentiality.

Assume Nothing!!
Maintain a business-as-usual attitude and run the business as if it will be yours indefinitely. If you don’t, it just might be.

Adequate planning and professional advice should result in a sale that is rewarding both financially and personally. You’ve worked hard at your business, now it’s time to enjoy the rewards and the freedom that come with its successful sale.
