5 Steps to Selling Your Business

Image
Selling a business is rarely an easy decision to make and there can be a great deal of complexities involved in the process. Most importantly, before finding a qualified broker to proceed with the transaction, you’ll need to take several important preliminary steps to prepare yourself and your business. Timing is Everything Selling requires careful planning and Transworld is here to help. We will help you consider the business’s ability to sell, its readiness, and your timing. The old saying that the early bird gets the worm is also true when it comes to selling your businesses. Preparing for the sale as early as possible will help you improve your financial records, business structure, and customer base. These improvements will also ease the transition for the buyer and keep the business running smoothly. Ideally, owners should begin getting their businesses ready to sell before they hope to close a deal, to slowly wean themselves from the day-to-day responsibilities and gett

Confidentiality is critcal when selling your business

Image
Confidentiality is an important factor in the successful sale of any business and should be taken seriously. Preserving the value-adding aspects of your business like your customer base, relationships with reliable vendors, experienced employees, and your market share helps you command a good price for your company. A breech in confidentiality can create havoc for a seller trying to sell it for the highest possible value. Unfortunately, in many cases, when the word slips out that you are looking to sell your business, people can’t help but talk. And that is when the rumors start, which can spread as quick as wildfire. It’s human nature to resist change. The rumors may start to make your employees feel anxious and worry about their future. They may start looking for new jobs and also share the concerns of the business sale with your customers. This could trigger a negative reaction and your customers might start looking for another business to work with. When customers and em

How to determine if it is time to sell your business

Image
As it is with many things in life, timing is everything – especially when determining the right time to sell your business. Transworld presents the following list of questions that will you help determine if you should sell your business. Consider them carefully and answer them honestly: Am I ready to sell? Do I feel more exhaustion or passion when running the business? Could selling the business solve a problem or meet a strategic goal? Do I have the right people in the right positions to lead the company to the next level under new ownership? Will someone appreciate the business enough to buy the business? Do I have a viable business model? Is the timing right to put my business up for sale? Is the market right for me to sell? Do I have, or can I get, a top-notch team to market my business? Is the business ready to sell? Are my financials well-positioned and projected to show profit and growth? Can my business adapt and cope with the changes on the horizon? If you

Goodwill When Buying or Selling A Business

Goodwill When Buying or Selling A Business October 31, 2017  by  Michael Shea PA   (Edit) man and woman shaking hands in front of laptop A business’s true worth is often far more than the value of its individual parts. When buying or selling a business, goodwill represents the value of the business that is above and beyond the worth of separately identifiable tangible business assets. Unlike physical assets, like buildings or equipment, goodwill is an intangible asset. What Are the Factors that Contribute to the Creation of Business’s Goodwill? Business goodwill reflects the synergy among the various assets in a well-run business that are used to generate revenue. Although it can be difficult to price, determining the value of goodwill can make a company more valuable. However, since the components that make up goodwill have subjective values, there is also a risk that a business could over or undervalue goodwill during a business valuation. Business owners may believe that the

Millenials are the next wave of Entreprenuers

Millenials and College Students….the Next Entreprenuers October 30, 2017  by  Michael Shea PA   (Edit) Millenials and College students face a new age.  Of late in the news we repeatedly are told of how college graduates are underemployed or can’t find jobs. As a parent of teens looking to enter that eventual pool, I say “Great”. The working world is not what I entered into in the early 1990’s. Manufacturing Jobs have either gone overseas or been automated with the advance of technology leaving the younger generation in a state of turmoil and flux. Why do I say “Great,” you ask….well the simple fact is that poverty and being uncomfortable will be the stimulus that pushes this highly educated group to create the new economy. The wave of entrepreneurial creation that will be born in the next 20 years will be unlike anything us Gray Hairs have seen before. As a business broker, I look forward with optimism to the next several decades as these budding entrepreneurs create new bu
