How to Make More Money Selling Your Business By: Peter C. King, VR CEO |  The sale of your business is of extreme importance. Regardless of the reason you may be selling, consulting with a professional business broker presents a better opportunity. The sale of a business consists of a presentation, finding the most suitable buyers and ensuring you receive payment for what the company is actually worth, as opposed to having the chance of losing out on a fair price. A business broker is a huge help in instances like these, as they have the knowledge and professionalism to ensure the transaction is painless and fruitful. You are more than capable of making more money from selling your enterprise. Perhaps one of the most exhausting decisions to make is whether or not to sell your company. You must weigh the decision carefully, as well as determine if it's worth selling. There are advantages to making the sale, however you must compare it to the time, capital and energy put into the enterprise's growth. There is also the investment that would accompany continuing the company. However, it may be the right time for you, in terms of personal or professional needs.

The Importance of Keeping Your Business Books Up-To-Date By: Larry Lane, Principal of VR McKinney, TX |  At least once a month, you should be doing an analysis of your business, and making sure that your books and records are in working order.
It's not only good to see the progression of your business, but to verify that both your accounts payables and receivables are in the black. If you are thinking about selling your business somewhere down the line, you should have everything in shape. Additionally, you should have dashboard reports that pinpoint exactly where your revenues are coming from (or not) along with industry analysis reports that show how your business stands up against others.

Valuing Platform Companies vs. Add-Ons: The New Art of Negotiating
This article originally appeared on Axial.net |  Could today's increase in "add-on" transactions mean that valuation multiples are on the rise? Over the past few years, PE firms have been heavily involved with add-on acquisitions, rather than platform companies. (In 2012, add-on acquisitions represented approximately one half of all PE buyout activity.) With the economy on more solid footing, more businesses - including large and small privately held companies - are returning to the M&A marketplace. That means more opportunities for acquiring platforms, and broader possibilities for supporting add-ons. At the core, these new platform/add-on dynamics are causing a shift in the art of performing business valuations, as value can differ significantly based on the viewpoint of the deal participant. This means it is more important than ever for a company to have a holistic understanding of the market. |
