What Does a “Unique Business” Mean?
October 1, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Quite commonly, business owners feel that their business is unique, but is it really? There are a variety of different ways that businesses can be unique. Yet, there are some key variables and factors that simply must be in place if a business is to be simultaneously unique and valuable. This leads us to an important question, are these unique and valuable factors transferable to a new owner? Here are five key factors to look for in a business. Factor One-The Assets Having an intangible asset, such as the perfect location with a locked in long-term lease (which would, of course, transfer to a new owner) is of vital importance. However, this is not the only example of critical intangible assets. Other examples would include a robust mailing list of past and current clients that was built up over a series of years, a popular franchise relationship, trademarks and copyrights or a respected and known product line. Factor Two-Is the Business Easily … [Read more...]

July 17, 2012 By 1 Comment
Who Are Potential Buyers? Once a business owner has made the decision to sell, he or she should be aware of the variety of possible business buyers. Just as small business itself has become more sophisticated, the people interested in buying businesses have also become more divergent and complex. The following are some of today's most active categories of business buyers: Family Members Members of the seller's own family form a traditional category of business buyer – a category of buyers that is “tried” but not always "true." There is something appealing about a family member taking over the business. There is a sense of keeping the business in the family and an assumption that such an arrangement will translate into the prime advantage of continuity. Continuity may in fact be the result as long as the family member buying the business treats the role as something akin to a hierarchical responsibility. This can mean years of planning and diligent preparation, involving … [Read more...]
Why Sell Your Business?
June 15, 2012 By Leave a Comment
Why Sell? There are a number of different explanations why selling a business can possibly be an emotional event. The business may have been in the owner's family for generations. The owner may have built it from scratch or purchased it and then poured the necessary energy into it to grow it into a successful, profitable business. For these and many other reasons, "seller's remorse" is actually one of the major causes of a deal falling through. However, despite the emotional ties to a business, there are times when selling is the best course to take. Here are just a few examples of those times. Burnout According to industry experts, burnout is a major reason owners consider selling their businesses. In time, the long hours and 7-day workweeks can take their toll. On the opposite end, business owners who thrive on challenge may get to the point that the business has just become boring - the challenge of creating it or growing it has been replaced with the mundane daily … [Read more...]
