Which offer would you take?

$1,000,000 with little cash down, no lender conversation yet, and you carrying part of the price.

Or $950,000 from a buyer who's already qualified, with a lender contacted and a faster close.

The bigger number isn't always the better offer. You get paid at closing, so terms and certainty matter as much as price.

If you're thinking about selling in the next few years, let's talk before an offer shows up.

Happy Friday Virginia business owners.

Here is a good one to close out the week.

What is the best piece of advice you ever got about running a business?

Not from a book. The real kind. The kind someone told you at the right time that actually stuck.

Drop it in the comments. These always turn into great conversations.

FAQ Thursday.

"When my business is listed, do I have to take all the calls from people who are interested?"

No. That is our job.

We field every inquiry, screen every buyer for financial capability and serious intent, and make sure only qualified people get through to you. Tire kickers, competitors, and people who are just curious do not make it past us.

You should only be spending time talking to people who are actually in a position to buy your business.

Got a question about how we handle buyer inquiries? Drop it below or call us at 804-520-7557.

She said, "You know what you want for the business. Will the numbers support it?"

Most owners have a number in their head. The hard part is finding out how that number compares to what the market would actually pay.

Sometimes they match. Sometimes they do not. And it is much better to find out before you list than in the middle of a sale.

A Market Price Analysis gives you a real picture based on your real numbers. No guessing. No wishful thinking. Just the information you need to make a good decision.

Here is a number that stopped me when I read it.

Six million small and midsize businesses are expected to change hands in the next ten years as baby boomers retire. And researchers think as many as 1.5 million of those businesses could just close instead of selling, mostly because the owner never had a plan.

That is exactly the gap we work to close every day at FCBB. Whether you are years away from selling or thinking about it for the first time, having a plan and knowing what your business is actually worth changes everything.

Do not let your life's work end in a closed sign when it could become someone else's next chapter.

Happy Friday Virginia business owners.

Here is a real question to take into your weekend.

What does retirement actually look like for you? Not the dream. The real version. What are you doing on a Tuesday in November when you no longer have a business to run?

A lot of owners know exactly what they want to leave. Fewer have figured out what they are going toward.

Drop your answer in the comments.

FAQ Thursday.

"Can I open another business after I sell mine?"

Maybe. It depends on the non-compete agreement you sign at closing.

Most business sales include a non-compete. The buyer needs to know you are not going to open a competing business right after they hand you a check. That is fair.

But the scope of that agreement matters a lot. How long does it last? What can you not do? What area does it cover?

A well negotiated non-compete protects the buyer and still leaves you with options. A poorly structured one can limit you for years.

This is why we work closely with your attorney on all the closing documents before you sign anything.

Got a question about this? Drop it below or call us at 804-520-7557.

He said, "If you disappeared for 30 days, what would happen to this business?"

We call this the thirty day test. And most owners pause when they really think about it.

If the business depends entirely on you being there every day, buyers see that as risk. And they price it that way.

The good news is this is fixable. It takes time, but it is very fixable. And the owners who start working on it before they are ready to sell are the ones who end up with the best outcomes.

What would your answer be today?

Ten years ago Bill and I owned eight tax offices and a sign business.

We were successful and completely burnt out. So we sold both businesses ourselves, without a broker, without professional guidance. Just grit and Google and a lot of expensive mistakes.

We left money on the table. We spent months on things a good broker could have handled in days. And the whole time we thought, why is there no one in our corner?

That is why we became brokers. We wanted to be the people we wished we had when we were selling.

Between us we have owned and sold nine businesses. We have been the sellers wondering if they are making the right decision. We know exactly what that feels like.

No jargon. No pressure. Just real guidance from two people who have been exactly where you are.

Here is a number worth knowing if selling your business is anywhere on your radar.

Business owners who get a real professional valuation before going to market walk away with 90% or more of what their business is actually worth. Owners who skip that step average around 70%.

That gap has nothing to do with luck or market conditions. It comes down to whether you know your numbers going in.

The market is strong right now for profitable, well run businesses. But the market being good and your business being ready are two different things.

If selling is somewhere on your horizon, the best first step is knowing what you actually have. That is the kind of thing we help owners figure out every day at FCBB.
