5 Steps To Sell My Business for the Best Price October 8, 2019  by  Michael Shea PA    (Edit) As Orlando’s Largest Business Broker we are often asked “How do I sell my business for the best price?” This short article will lay out five focus points for you to laser in on to get the best price for your business when you decide to sell your business.

Unreported cash, failure to use automated book keeping software, and frankly shady accounting practices are the primary driver of a business failing to sell. So in short…get your stuff in order and do not play games because the only person you are hurting is yourself. Step 2 – Price it Right: Year after Year we analyze business sales in the Orlando Florida Market and over and over we see businesses listing at outlandish prices an

Timing Your Business Sale....Speed and Variables Matter

Timing Your Business Sale: The Exit May 2, 2019  by  Michael Shea PA   (Edit) Timing the sale of your business is critical. All too often when a business owner considers selling their business, the fail to factor the time it takes to sell and the variables associated with their business. So the purpose of this blog is to set some expectations and give business owners some time considerations as well as some other factors that impact a deal. How Long Does It Take To Sell A Business How Long Does It Take To Sell A Business? The National Average is 8 to 12 months. I have sold one in as little as 5 days but that is far from normal. Why so long? Well lots of reasons ranging from overpricing, bank qualification, immigration delays, interest rate changes, due diligence discovery issues, and a million others. Also, keep in mind there are seasons to things both in the short term (summer, fall, holidays) and the long term (election years, Brexit, recessions). As a business owner, you

What are the most important things to do to get your business ready to sell? Planning your exit from your business means getting your arms wrapped around a dynamic market place where buyers are both local and international and they have different needs and wants. Those needs and wants will move and impact the value of your business in their mind and as such the marketplace.  Your opinion doesn't matter so preparation for the market demand is vital. 1. Get your books and Records in Order: File your taxes, reconcile your bookkeeping software to the bank statements 2. Clean up the place...we don't mean spic and span but get rid of the junk or the stuff that can distract a buyer from a business 3. Remove personal items not included from the location and the financials....again make it clean 4. Organize the business.  Have an org chart, job descriptions, defined roles. 5. SWOT Analysis on yourself and address issues These are just some of the issues you need to address

Here is a scary statistic. 90% of all business buyers never ever complete a sale. The reasons for this are somewhat murky but in simplicty, it largely is a function of lack of education and a failure to follow a process. Buying a business is a major financial decision and investment and should be approached with the same seriousness you would take in any other major investment. You should get educated, secure professional advice from trusted advisors, and be realistic about your expectations and the outcomes. With the internet we have a double edged sword. Resources are now available to consumers which provide them with tons of information and advice. However, there are also legions of “experts” and conflicting data that can take a prospective entrepreneur down a rabbit hole of confusion and disappointment. We recommend a solid 8 step process that is logical, affords you protections and results in a positve outcome if you follow the process step by step and do not bypass the
