Why is the Current Owner Selling The Business?
There are all kinds of reasons individuals resolve to sell businesses. Nevertheless, the real reason vs the one they tell you might be 2 completely different things. For instance, they might claim "I have too many various commitments" or "I am retiring". For many sellers, these factors are valid. But, for some, these may just be reasons to attempt to hide the reality of altering demographics, increased competitors, current reduction in profits, or an array of various other factors. This is why it is really important that you not count totally on a seller's word, yet instead, make use of the seller's solution along with your overall due diligence. This will repaint a much more realistic image of the business's existing situation.
Existing Debts and Future Obligations
If the existing business is in debt, which lots of companies are, then you will have reason to consider this when valuating/preparing your deal. Lots of companies finance loans in order to cover items such as stock, payroll, accounts payable, etc. Keep in mind that occasionally this can mean that profit margins are too small. Many businesses fall into a revolving door of taking on debt as a way to pay back other loans. In addition to debts, there may also be future commitments to take into consideration. There may be an outstanding lease on equipment or the structure where the business resides. The business might have existing agreements with vendors that need to be met or may cause fines if terminated early.
Understanding the Customer Base, Competition and Area Demographics
Just how do businesses in the area draw in brand-new clients? Often times, companies have repeat customers, which create the core of their everyday revenues. Certain variables such as brand-new competition sprouting up around the area, road building and construction, and also personnel turnover can influence repeat customers and negatively influence future revenues. One vital thing to think about is the placement of the business. Is it in an extremely trafficked shopping center, or is it hidden from the highway? Clearly, the more individuals that see the business regularly, the better the opportunity to build a returning consumer base. A last thought is the general area demographics. Is the business placed in a largely inhabited city, or is it located on the outside border of town? Just how might the regional average home earnings effect future revenue potential?
