Your Orlando Florida Business Broker

A close up of the tab from a confidential file folder. When you are buying or selling a business confidentiality is one of the most important factors.  Now to the novice negotiator, buyer or seller with a lack of experience or understanding of all the things that can go wrong you may find that odd but let me explain. First….the sale of a business is a private matter and the only people who should be involved are those necessary: Buyer, Seller,  Broker  if there is one,  CPA’s , and  Legal Counsel .  That’s it.  No one else has a need to know.  As a seller who spends a lot of time with employees, there is often some emotion and misguided feelings of emotion/loyalty borne out of concern for your staff. But I would charge that to be misguided.  Here is how sellers should look at the deal:  Employees should be focused on their job and job alone.  The sale is to be handled by the players hired to manage the transaction.  Any tim...

Hire the Best Business Broker January 27, 2017  by  Michael Shea PA Business sales are hot! Volume is up and every entrepreneur believes they have the best business and that it is worth millions. So when it comes time to sell their business they do what most people do….the google to see how and who can sell their business. That is where the very first hurdle it. How do you choose the right broker to sell your business? One would think that when choosing to conduct one of the largest and most complicated financial transactions of your life you would choose carefully and do a certain amount of research. You would interview, look at track records, and choose a professional that has a demonstrated history of outcomes of success. Turns out that is not what occurs….all too often business owners and entrepreneurs choose their business brokers or advisors based on price (commission) and or whoever was the first person in the door. One of the reasons that less than 20% of a...

Price vs Value in buying a business December 29, 2015  by  Michael Shea PA PRICE: The amount of dollars or consideration a buyer agrees to pay and a seller agrees to accept under specific circumstances surrounding a transaction. VALUE: The worth of something There is is….two simple definitions that drive the question of every #business sale in Orlando and anywhere else. Add to that mix conundrum the many #advisors and #opinions that get thrown into the mix and you get a scary statistic. Namely less than 20% of all businesses that go to market sell. I could go on for days about business value but the simple answer to this challenge is deals only get done when one does not fixate on value or price (buyer or seller) and each party recognizes the deal has to work for both. Some things to recognize in no particular order: 1. There is a vibrant and fluid marketplace here in Florida. Business sales are tracked far more closely than any other state in the union so th...
