YOUR BUSINESS

You have worked hard. You have succeeded where others have failed. Your business is something to be proud of...  But is it salable ?

That’s where we come in.

You need to know what it’s worth. ProBiz can assist with an “arms length, authoritative and defensible business valuation.

You need to know who are and where are the “Buyers” for a business like yours.

You need to know how to present your business in the best possible light. This requires an outside person. A Consultant with expertise that is relative, practical and applicable.

Most importantly, you need an Intermediary – a 3^rd person to represent you, your business and your best interests. Someone who listens to you, someone who takes to heart your goals and aspirations, someone with experience in making deals, negotiating terms and seeing to it that you get the most for your money!  

With all due modesty, that would …me!

Pricing Tip: Recast the cash flow to reveal the “True Owner’s Net”.  This is done by reviewing expense deductions and “adding back” all unnecessary expenses to the cash flow. This will result in a much higher figure than the “bottom line” of your tax return.

 

Buyers Tip: Most Buyers do NOT come from a similar business to the one you want to sell ! Your best prospect may be totally unfamiliar with what you do and how you do it.. 

 

Presentation Tip: First Impressions are very important.  You never get a second chance to make a good first impression. Go the extra mile to make your business look good BEFORE the Buyer arrives.

 

Intermediary Tip: The best results are gained from using the best people.

Business Brokerage Press Release

Business Brokerage Press Release November 1, 2008 Pro Biz Consulting, Inc. Lou Sauer President Raleigh, North Carolina. Over thirty years ago the ERISA Act created IRAs and 401(k) plans to allow investors to control their retirement savings, in contrast to traditional pension plans. Since then the stock market has been up and down more times than we can count. Today the word “crash” and “recession or depression” and “1930’s” has put many in a mood to consider alternatives, especially for pension and retirement money. Recently, many folks who have seen their portfolios take a significant hit have been saying, “I want to invest in and/or own and operate a small, local business. Something I can see, feel and touch”. Lou Sauer and Pro Biz want you to know that besides investing in stocks, bonds and mutual funds, tax payers can also use these savings - which are excluded from taxes - toward financing their own business. Using retirement funds to start up or purchase a business has become more popular since 2001, when the dot-com bubble burst and made stocks less attractive and sent hundreds of downsized executives out looking for something else to do. Today, more and more taxpayers are cashing in their retirement accounts and placing these funds into a very specific type of trust that provides the beneficiary with the ability to use this money to make an equity contribution in a business in exchange for the trust holding a relatively high percentage of ownership in that business. These people feel that they can get a greater return on their life savings by investing in their own business and adding in some sweat equity, and end up with a larger nest egg upon retirement. These trusts are being organized so they can comply with the rules of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and be classified as a Qualified Trust so they can receive certain benefits under the rules of the Internal Revenue Service. One of these benefits is that the individual who withdraws his or her retirement money from a recognized tax-exempt retirement plan, like a 401(k), will not be subject to any IRS penalties for early withdrawals. Another benefit is the opportunity to start a business debt-free by not having to borrowing startup capital and having the burden of note and interest payments. When startup companies are financed with equity from outside sources it can be the most expensive avenue of financing because the company is worth so little. Make no mistake; this is not a risk-free proposition. Whether you are buying a business with cash, home equity loan or retirement funds, you must do your own due diligence. There are a limited number of great businesses – chose wisely! Lou Sauer and Pro Biz have helped many buyers and sellers find a good deal and negotiate and even better deal.
