The Top 5 Reasons People Sell Their Business One of the very first questions a buyer asks is “Why?”  “Why are you selling your business?”  Invariably,  behind it is a mistrust or doubt driven by horror stories grounded in very little truth but it is an important question as it sets the context for how a business is run and why certain things are the way they are. After 15 years of M&A and Business Sales and literally hundreds of completed transaction I can tell you two things emphatically: 1) 99% of the time Sellers tell the truth 2) Proper Due Diligence discovers the other issues. Now, as to the question at hand. The  fundamental reason a business owner makes the decision to sell a business may not necessarily be for financial reasons, but to free up resources, focus on other priorities or make time for other opportunities. In this article, we review why owners might decide to sell a business, along with some steps to consider when preparing for the ...

The Frustrations of Buying A Business January 23, 2018  by  Michael Shea PA Time and Time again I have met buyers who are encountering  frustrations  in the buying of a business. The reasons vary from buyer to buyer but if I may let me offer some specifics to the buying process as it relates to the Orlando Florida and Kissimmee Markets. 1. First thing, recognize t that there is a market and there is competition. Orlando is one of the few places where there are outside factors like immigration buyers that impact the purchase process. Buyers of businesses looking for visas have additional concerns like steady cash flow, simplicity, need for home-based businesses, and the ever-present concern of the target meeting the needs of the USCIS for E2 investor Visa’s 2. How you did things in your country or state or in your past professional life will not dictate the process here on the ground. There are outlined and defined processes here. Choosing to accept them a...

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.
