Why is the Current Owner Selling The Business?
There are all kinds of reasons why people choose to sell companies. However, the genuine reason and the one they tell you may be 2 completely different things. As an example, they may state "I have too many other responsibilities" or "I am retiring". For many sellers, these factors stand. But, for some, these may just be justifications to try to conceal the reality of altering demographics, increased competition, current decrease in incomes, or a range of other reasons. This is why it is really important that you not depend completely on a seller's word, however instead, use the seller's response together with your overall due diligence. This will paint a much more reasonable picture of the business's existing circumstance.
Existing Debts and Future Obligations
If the existing business is in debt, which lots of companies are, then you will certainly have reason to consider this when valuating/preparing your offer. Many companies finance loans so as to cover points like stock, payroll, accounts payable, etc. Keep in mind that occasionally this can indicate that profit margins are too thin. Many businesses come under a revolving door of taking loans as a way to pay back various other loans. Along with debts, there may also be future obligations to take into consideration. There might be an outstanding lease on tools or the structure where the business resides. The business might have existing contracts with vendors that should be met or might lead to fines if terminated early.
Understanding the Customer Base, Competition and Area Demographics
Exactly how do operating businesses in the location bring in new customers? Most times, companies have repeat consumers, which develop the core of their day-to-day profits. Particular aspects such as new competition sprouting up around the area, roadway building and construction, and personnel turn over can influence repeat clients as well as adversely impact future revenues. One essential thing to think about is the placement of the business. Is it in a very trafficked shopping mall, or is it hidden from the main road? Obviously, the more people that see the business on a regular basis, the better the opportunity to develop a returning customer base. A final thought is the general location demographics. Is the business located in a largely inhabited city, or is it situated on the outskirts of town? Exactly how might the regional mean home income effect future earnings prospects?
