Why is the Current Owner Selling The Business?

For instance, they may claim "I have too many other commitments" or "I am retiring". For many sellers, these factors stand. But also, for some, these may simply be excuses to attempt to hide the reality of altering demographics, increased competition, recent decrease in profits, or a variety of various other reasons. This is why it is very crucial that you not depend absolutely on a seller's word, however rather, utilize the vendor's response in conjunction with your total due diligence. This will paint a much more practical picture of the business's present circumstance.

Existing Debts and Future Obligations

If the current company is in debt, which many companies are, then you will have reason to consider this when valuating/preparing your deal. Many businesses take out loans so as to cover points such as inventory, payroll, accounts payable, so on and so forth. Remember that in some cases this can imply that earnings margins are too thin. Lots of companies come under a revolving door of taking on debt as a way to pay back various other loans. In addition to debts, there may also be future obligations to think about. There might be an outstanding lease on tools or the building where the business resides. The business might have existing contracts with suppliers that have to be fulfilled or might cause penalties if terminated early.

Understanding the Customer Base, Competition and Area Demographics

Certain elements such as new competition growing up around the location, road building and construction, as well as staff turnover can influence repeat consumers and also adversely affect future incomes. One important thing to take into consideration is the area of the business. Is it in a highly trafficked shopping center, or is it concealed from the main road? Certainly, the more people that see the business often, the greater the chance to develop a returning customer base. A last thought is the general location demographics. Is the business placed in a largely inhabited city, or is it situated on the outside border of town? Just how might the neighborhood median home income influence future earnings prospects?
