Is it good to sell your business in a recession?
Believe it or not, tough times are the best times to sell a business. Why? Options shrink. Credit expands. Creatives cut loose! Big companies lay off, downsize and outsource. Have you been thinking about selling your business? Doesn’t it make sense to take advantage? When can we start?
Corporate downsizing, resizing and rightsizing means more buyers.
An unprecedented pool of qualified executives, competent managers and good workers have lost corporate jobs and are desperate to take hands-on control of their future. In many cases, the safe and sensible way to do this is to buy an established business. The option of finding another job may be gone; technological advances have rendered some jobs obsolete. They may be older. Improving efficiency and continued cost pressures will continue and eliminate even more of the high paying jobs these folks once held.
Financial conditions are right.
The cost of capital is the lowest it's been in 25 years and, contrary to popular opinion, money is available for the healthy business from a multitude of sources particularly if there is real estate for collateral. Some people confuse the "good old days of easy money" with today's realistic practice of ensuring that the borrower is able to repay the debt. The business seller who participates in financing the sale of his business is able to realize returns of 3 and 4 times the amount that otherwise would be available in the more traditional investment markets, with little added risk.
The American dream takes a new path.
The key used to be, "To assure your future, get on board with a big corporation and collect a paycheck for life." No more! Today, thousands of folks are catching the new entrepreneurial spirit. Money alone is not what drives them. Creativity and the ability to see their efforts "make a difference" are their motivations. They know that if they can accomplish their goals, the money will follow.
The price is right.
When compared with other major investments such as homes, cars, boats, etc., the investment required to buy a business makes extremely good sense. The purchase price of a business does not increase with inflation in the traditional sense. The value of a business will only increase in proportion to its increase in efficiency, i.e. the increase in the purchasing power of the cash flow stream generated by its operations. This appeals to the buyer who can create and grow in accordance with his or her efforts and abilities. They view a business of their own as the only way to go!
Selling now makes dollars and sense!
Because of these trends, business owners who are otherwise ready to consider the conversion of their business assets into a more liquid form of investment may never find a more favorable climate to realize the rewards of their hard work. Find out what you need to know to make the right decision! Get answers now.
