ABC BUSINESS

WELCOME

Hi,

Business Owners Cash Out Before You Burn Out

Is this You?

A business owner who has worked hard to build a company

You’ve just returned to work after a Christmas break

You’re facing the prospect of leading your company forward for another year, BUT………

You’re filled with a growing sense of despair

It’s likely you’ve got a few things on your mind:

Staffing issues
Compliance headaches - the demands of bureaucracy grow every year
Cash flow
Chasing debtors
Paying the bills on time
Working long hours

Right now could well be the prudent time to sell your business.

If the passion you had when you started out in your business has lessened, and you no longer have that feeling of excitement about driving your business forward, chances are the value of your business will start diminishing.

After 22 years of successful sales, we know that the ideal time to sell a business is while it is still growing but before it has peaked. We also know that business owners achieve better results when they use a business broker.

Don’t make selling your business complex – and don’t take risks that could jeopardize your opportunity to get the best price. Choose a professional, experienced specialist business broker, such as Affiliated Business Consultants Limited, and maximise the value and speed of your sale.

BUSINESS SELLING TIPS

The Subtle Difference Between Valuing and Pricing A Business

A professional valuer, or anyone for that matter, might put a valuation on a business which could be a million miles from its real market value. Value should relate to market value, i.e. prices that people are paying right now for similar businesses. However, many people who value businesses have no way of taking into account market value, because they are not in contact with the market.

If you are looking to value a business for the purpose of partnership dissolution, or other contentious matter, then a formal valuation is required to be performed by a professional valuer.

In all other cases, however, we are merely looking to price a business. Pricing is not exact; you don’t have to arrive at one figure and state that it is the value of the business. Although you will look at many of the factors that a formal valuation will also examine, pricing is simply an attempt to arrive at a price close to what “the market” might pay for the business. Business brokers who have been in business for some time can almost do this instinctively. They know from experience what a buyer might pay for a particular business.

The closer your asking price is to the market price the quicker the business will sell, this is the key. If you leave the business on the market too long, it will get a bad name even though all that was wrong with it was that it was priced beyond the market.

Pricing can be as simple as this, or it can be a complex written report. In any event, it is an approximation of what the business might bring in the marketplace. Obviously the final price is a mixture of many factors such as the terms of the sale, the desire of the buyer to buy and the motivation of the seller to sell.
