Oil Prices and the U.S. Economy
Wells Fargo Speculates Economy Will Continue to Recover  

Another spring has brought another gas price surge at the pump. The most recent surge in the price of crude oil raises questions that seem to have been answered many times over the past 40-plus years: how much do higher oil prices hurt the U.S. economy and is it enough to generate a recession? The answer to these questions is clear: yes, there is a negative effect on the U.S. economy, but we estimate that it is not enough to generate a recession. Even though the U.S. economy is, today, much more efficient in its use of oil than it was back in the 1970s, the magnitude of the recent increase in oil prices remains a concern to an economy that continues to recover from the worst recession since the Great Depression.

Important Elements a Buyer Needs to Consider in a Business Sale

Experienced entrepreneurs who have bought a business before will have an advantage over a business owner who is experiencing selling their business for the first time. That being said, most buyers have a very difficult task because of the due diligence portion on the transaction is typically an area that they have no prior experience with performing. The facts have to be uncovered through a comprehensive and thorough investigation. At VR, we will assist you in identifying items that should be scrutinized carefully.

Understanding the Essentials of Business Valuations

When you consult VR Business Sales to sell your business, determining the value is an important and complex priority that needs to be properly executed. There are a variety of elements that must be considered when performing a business valuation; which include actual earnings to calculating discretionary earnings to reviewing profit & loss statements and balance sheets. At VR, we assist in identifying what your business is really worth as that is what is going to attract a qualified buyer, and allow for a maximum selling price.

Analysis Begins with the Business 
Valuing a business starts not with its books but by examining its industry to identify trends, development and other important characteristics - otherwise known as risk and value drivers. These create the circumstances that lead to the financial performance. Only after you have carefully analyzed these elements should you then perform a financial analysis, which will be the quantification of identified value drivers economically, by industry and in the marketplace.
