An owner may ask:

"Why can't I sell it myself?" There are several reasons why most owners choose not to:
An owner representing himself cannot maintain anonymity and the lost confidentiality could seriously hurt the business.
An owner may not be knowledgeable in current areas of law, accounting, taxes, and marketing of businesses.
An owner typically does not have the ability or time to contact, screen and qualify a large group of prospects to find a qualified buyer who is serious and will offer a fair price. An owner's talents are much more effectively utilized in running the business than in trying to sell the company. An owner generally would not have the experience, knowledge, and negotiating skills needed to sell his company efficiently and for the best price, particularly in a highly emotional negotiation such as the sale of a business where the buyer's objectives are totally opposite of the owner's.

- When is the best time to sell?

 

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO SELL?

Usually the best time to obtain the highest price occurs when sales and earnings are good and trending upward. A solid earnings trend will enable a buyer to pay a higher price and still meet his return of investment criteria. A history of good performance also gives the buyer confidence in projected future earnings.

However; market conditions for business sales also signicantly affect the salability of a business. Today's market is the best we have seen in the last five years due to a large number of serious buyers looking in Houston due to its top economic status in the country; readily available bank financing for business acquisitions; and the historically low capital gains tax rate we currently enjoy, which nets the owner more cash at closing.

 

WHO WOULD BUY IT?

For most companies, there are several categories of prospective buyers. The most obvious are other companies in the same business for whom the acquisition would be a logical expansion with potential economies of scale. Consideration should also be given to suppliers and customers of the business.

However, based on our experience in selling hundreds of businesses, approximately 80% of the prospective buyers are individuals who want to control their own future. Many of them will be moving into the area from other states and countries.

FLABB is in continuous contact with all categories of buyers. We utilize effective search procedures to find and screen those who are best qualified to buy.

This review includes an opinion of a range of selling prices of the business in today's market.

If the client decides to proceed with the sale of the business, FLA Business Brokers then prepares custom-tailored presentation documents, develops buyer prospect lists from its contact files and other resources, makes the proper approaches, screens the buyer prospects, and introduces only serious, qualified buyers to the client.
