Episode Title: The Hidden Benefits of Preparing Your Business for Sale Host: Marcia Riner | Business Growth Strategist, Infinite Profit® Guest: Marty M. Fahncke | Acquisitions Advisor, Westbound Road Episode Summary: In this insightful episode, Marcia Riner and Marty Fahncke delve into why every business owner should prepare their business for sale, even if they never plan to sell it. Marty, who has helped hundreds of small businesses scale to over $1 Billion in revenue and facilitated $450 million in acquisitions, shares his expert insights on how proper preparation can significantly increase a business's value and readiness for unforeseen circumstances. Key Talking Points: Marty's Journey and Expertise: Marty shares his extensive background in business growth and acquisitions, emphasizing the lessons he learned along the way. His experience highlights the critical importance of always being ready to sell. Why Every Business Should Prepare for Sale: Marty discusses the often-overlooked reasons for preparing your business for sale, including the "Four D's and a B" (Divorce, Debt, Disagreements, Disease, and Burnout). These factors can unexpectedly force a business sale, and being prepared can prevent financial loss and ensure smooth transitions. Steps to Maximize Business Value: Get Your Financials in Order: Accurate, up-to-date financials are crucial. Marty emphasizes the need for professional bookkeeping and accounting to ensure your financial health is transparent and appealing to potential buyers. Implement an Operating System: Establishing a comprehensive business operating system enhances efficiency and streamlines operations, making the business more attractive and easier to transition. Owner Exit Plan: Reducing the owner's involvement in daily operations increases the business's appeal to buyers, as it demonstrates that the business can run independently. Identify Your Buyer: Building your business with a potential buyer in mind helps ensure it meets the criteria that make it attractive to future owners. Understand Your Valuation Target: Knowing your business's true value and what it takes to reach your financial goals is essential for long-term planning and eventual sale. Focus on Profit, Not Tax Mitigation: Prioritizing profit over minimizing taxes increases your business's valuation, making it more appealing to buyers. Prepare for the Long Term: Maintaining clean and profitable financials and operations for at least three years before a sale can significantly enhance your business's value and appeal. Key Quotes: "Even if you never plan to sell your business, things can happen that might force you into it." "Preparing your business for sale, even if you never plan to sell it, is a wonderful thing no matter what." "A business that revolves around you is very difficult to sell because I can't sell you." Special Offer: Marty offers a free copy of his upcoming book, "Boomer Sells the Business: A Step-by-Step Guide to Cashing Out and Living Large," along with a workbook.

Are you getting ready to sell your business? Ever thought about the digital assets you might be overlooking? Marketing expert Chloe Thomas dug into the critical aspects of getting your business exit-ready. One point that really stood out was the importance of owning your digital assets, like domain names, ad accounts, and website hosting. Chloe reminded us that many businesses forget about these online essentials. Imagine going through due diligence and finding out you don't actually own your crucial online properties. It could be a major red flag for potential buyers, and it's a risk you definitely want to avoid. So, as you handle the complexities of getting your business ready for a sale, take a step back and ensure that you have full ownership and control over your digital assets. It's a small yet crucial detail that could have a big impact on the success of your business sale. Have you ever thought about the ownership of your digital assets when preparing your business for sale? What steps have you taken to ensure that you have full control over these essential components of your business?

At some point, you're going to hand the keys to your business to someone else. That's true whether you're hiring employees or contractors or planning for succession. Life happens. And it's just not in the cards for you to be able to run your business, by yourself, forever. For many entrepreneurs, selling big is the dream. In the startup space, they call it an “exit” — the point at which some big fish gobbles up your smart idea and pays you handsomely for it. But the unicorn exit is a rare thing (that's why they call it a unicorn, after all) and lots of firms out there need to think about life after the founder. Even if you're running a mid-sized company, chances are, one day, you'll want to sell off your business and enjoy the fruits of your success. So what do you do? That's trickier than you might think. Fortunately, there are people out there who can help. Jude David is co-founder and Vice President of Mergers and Acquisitions for Final Ascent, a firm that specializes in helping mid-market businesses find buyers. Jude has a background on the legal side of finance. And he his co-founder Steve Conwell realized that mid-level businesses — those with valuations between $10 million and $200 million — weren't served by the investment banks that typically helped the big companies find buyers and partners for mergers. So they launched Final Ascent in 2017 to fill that void. They've grown to acquire clients all over the U.S., and primarily do their client work remotely. The company helps business owners think through how to prep their business for sale, making sure the company's profile is as attractive as possible to bump the value of the sale.

In this episode, learn about the importance of modeling and valuation for beginners looking to acquire a business or to know how much to price their business for sale. After identifying an actionable acquisition candidate, a search fund entrepreneur must turn to performing quantitative analysis on the target. Quantitative analysis, colloquially referred to as modeling, is one of the most important tasks during the due diligence stage as it informs business valuation and educates all buy-side constituents (i.e., searcher, creditors, equity investors) on the current and prospective financial strength of the business.

https://restauranttopia.com/episode-154-preparing-your-business-for-sale-with-robin-gagnon-of-we-sell-restaurants/ Welcome to another exciting episode of Restauranttopia! In today's episode, we dive deep into a topic that every restaurateur should be well-acquainted with: Preparing your restaurant for sale. We're privileged to have Robin Gagnon, co-founder of "We Sell Restaurants", with us to demystify the process. Whether you're contemplating selling or merely want to be ready for the future, this episode is a goldmine of insights. Key Takeaways: What is an Exit Strategy? Robin defines an exit strategy as a planned approach to transitioning out of your business, either through selling, merging, or closing down. Having a strategy in place ensures you get the best possible outcome when you decide it's time to step back. When to Start Preparing? Robin's advice? Start now. It's never too early to have a plan. The sooner you begin preparations, the more control you have over the sale conditions, maximizing the potential value of your restaurant. Understanding Restaurant Valuation A restaurant's value isn't just about its current revenue. Robin delves into the multiple factors that influence a restaurant's worth, including location, brand reputation, customer loyalty, and more. Tools and metrics used in the valuation process to provide a clear picture of what your business is worth on the market. The Process of Listing and Selling From choosing the right time to list your restaurant to negotiating the final deal, Robin breaks down the steps involved. Tips on presenting your restaurant in the best light to attract potential buyers. Understanding the role of brokers and how they can ease the selling process. Critical Record Keeping Requirements Just like in any other business, keeping detailed and accurate records is essential. Robin highlights the kinds of records prospective buyers are most interested in and why. The importance of maintaining organized financial statements, licenses, lease agreements, employee contracts, and other pertinent documents. Closing Thoughts Selling your restaurant can be an emotional journey. It's more than just a business transaction; it's parting with a place you've poured your heart and soul into. But with the right preparation and guidance, as provided by Robin in this episode, you can ensure your restaurant's legacy continues and that you reap the rewards of your hard work.
Have you ever thought about selling your eCommerce business? While many entrepreneurs create businesses with the intention of selling them in the end, most small business entrepreneurs think they'll run their businesses until they're ready to retire. But even then, what are your next steps? Do you just shut the whole thing down and say goodbye to your customers? What if instead, you could sell your business to someone else and get a nice chunk of change in return? While selling your business is likely easier than you think and can be done sooner than you think, there are some key things you'll need to have in place before you can fetch top dollar. Since I'm not an expert in exiting business, I brought in Christine McDannell of the Magnolia firm to school us on what we need to know to set our businesses up for sale.

Did you know 80% of small businesses do not survive the departure of the current owner? When is the right time to prepare your business for sale? The day you opened your business! How do you maximize your selling price? Is there a simple way to quickly valuate your business? Hear from 3 business coaches on the importance of properly planning your business for sale. Watch Episode HERE Bob Ward, President of Wardden LLC, Look for Bob's Previous Episode HERE. Perpetual Business Co website HERE. Rick White, President and Lead Coach for 180BIZ, Listen to Rick's previous episodes HERE. Chris Cotton, AutoFix Auto Shop Coaching, Chris Cotton Weekly Blitz Podcast Show Notes: Understand your business Profitability Selling your business properly takes planning- don't have a reaction selling plan. Never make a decision in a ‘valley,' aka emotional. You can't sell sweat equity. Your business is for sale every day- every decision affects your business. Your goal as an owner is to work your way out of the company, not get stuck in the job. What is your identity? What is your identity post ownership? To maximize your selling price, you need two things: Sustained profit (typically an 8 to 10 year runway) and a business that will operate without you. Staff is aware and supportive of the owner's succession desires and planning- everyone should be involved respectfully. Your team wants certainty. Create a haven where they can feel safe, do their job, be challenged, be a part of something, and have fun. Do you have the right people and team in place? What is the market for selling your business? 80% of small businesses do not survive the departure of the current owner. Hiring is like fishing- know what fish, what bait will attract the fish, and where is that fish. Consider ‘ownership potential' when hiring quality staff. Show a future no one else does. What does training do? Improve skills and communication. The more we communicate, the less friction there is in the business. Valuate your business- the stuff inside your building, cash flow, multiple average 2.5. Take your assets, 25 cents on the dollar plus inventory as part 1, then your cash flow multiplied by 2.5 to get a ballpark number. 6 Metric Multiple- how independent is the business from the owner? Customer facing employees tenure, production staff tenure, stability, revenue trends, gross margin trends and SOP for business. Multiplier- confidence factor. How confident will the new owner feel when the old owner is out? Financial records are pure, accurate, and updated- get your balance sheet right, and don't hide cash from the business.

In this episode of the podcast, we delve into the exciting and ever-evolving world of small business valuation. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting out on your entrepreneurial journey, understanding how to value a small business is an essential skill. With the rapid changes in the market and the economy, it's more important than ever to have a solid grasp on the principles of small business valuation. There are several key factors that impact the valuation of a business, including: Financial Performance: This includes revenue, profit margins, cash flow, and overall financial stability. The financial performance of the business is one of the most important factors in determining its value. Market and Industry Conditions: The overall health of the industry, as well as market trends and conditions, can have a significant impact on the value of a business. Competition: The level of competition in the market and the strength of the competition can impact the value of a business. Management Team: The strength and experience of the management team can play a crucial role in determining the value of a business. Intellectual Property: Patents, trademarks, and other forms of intellectual property can add significant value to a business. Customer Base: The size and stability of the customer base, as well as the quality of the relationships with those customers, can impact the value of a business. Growth Potential: The potential for future growth and expansion is an important factor in the valuation of a business. Assets: The value of the assets, including real estate, equipment, and inventory, can also impact the valuation of a business. It's important to note that the weight given to each of these factors can vary depending on the specific business and industry, and that professional valuations typically take into account a range of quantitative and qualitative factors.

In this episode business exit expert, Jessica Fialkovich, shares how to prepare your business for sale in one year or less.Jessica Fialkovich is a Business Exit Expert, #1 Best Selling Author, Speaker, and Small Business Advocate. When she sold her first business a decade ago, she had no idea where to start. Fortunately, she was able to exit successfully and then buy her next business — a business brokerage office.For ten years she has built the fastest growing and most successful business brokerage firm in the U.S. But she realized that most business owners that decide to sell are not prepared, and although hundreds of experts will teach you how to start a business, how to grow one — very few will teach you how to sell. In founding her education firm, Exit Factor, she decided to pull back the curtain about how the business sales process works and give buyers and sellers the tools to successfully (and profitability) complete a transaction.She is an entrepreneur at heart and successfully built and sold four startups, along with my husband and business partner, Al.

Guest: Aakash Shah, a coach at CEO Coaching International. Prior to joining us, Aakash was the CEO of his family's chemical company, which he grew from $3 million to $100 million in sales. Aakash is also an active YPO member. Quick Background: Any business that wants to get BIG needs cash. And while taking on private equity investment can help the CEO accelerate a growth trajectory, streamline ownership positions, and prepare for an exit, don't underestimate the amount of work that goes into finding the right investment partner. Your whole company might not be for sale, but your company should always be salable. The investments you make now in your leadership team, infrastructure, and long-term strategic planning will only improve your value when you sit down with interested parties. On today's show, Aakash Shah reflects on how his efforts to stabilize and grow his family's business paid off with two private equity rounds and a BIG a nine-figure exit.

There are a lot of business-for-sale websites out there, but BizBuySell is definitely one of the most popular. The site has been around for over 20 years and boasts a database of more than 50,000 businesses for sale. But BizBuySell is not so good when it comes to franchises. In this podcast, we'll explain why BizBuySell is great for buying established businesses but terrible for finding franchise opportunities. One of the main reasons BizBuySell is not a good resource for franchises is that they don't have a dedicated section for them. Franchises are lumped in with all the other businesses for sale, which makes it difficult to find what you're looking for. And even when you do find a franchise listed on BizBuySell, there's no way to filter by location, so you could be looking at businesses thousands of miles away from you. If you're interested in buying or selling a franchise, your best bet is to use a site like www.vettedbiz.com Are you thinking of buying a business? https://www.bizbuysell.com/ Would you like to own a franchise?
