Business owners often ask, “What multiple are businesses like mine selling for?”

It is a reasonable question. It is also incomplete.

An individual buyer may ask whether the business can pay acquisition debt and still provide an income.

A strategic buyer may see customers, capabilities or cost savings that do not exist for another buyer.

Before discussing a the value of a business, I want to understand what the owner actually wants.

*Is the priority maximum cash at closing?

*Protecting employees?

*Keeping the company name and legacy?

*Leaving immediately, or remaining involved for a period of time?

*Selling to family, an employee or an outside buyer?

The “best” transaction depends on those answers.

Many owners think selling a business begins when someone says, “I want to buy your company.”

That is usually where the real work begins.

A successful sale may involve value analysis, buyer screening, confidentiality, financing, due diligence, legal agreements, licensing, landlord approval, working capital, tax planning and transition.

Most business owners think their business should be priced more than it's worth -- mainly because of all of their hard work over the years. But they have to realize there are certain economics and realities that dictate the price.

But before choosing the DIY route, understand what you are taking on.

Selling your company yourself does not simply mean finding a buyer and negotiating a price. You are managing another demanding job while still protecting the performance of the business you spent years building.

What a wonderful way to start the morning at WATT. We even kicked things off with a photo shoot, and the happy energy in the room was contagious.

After announcements, Lorraine Tallman brought us some sobering facts about cancer, but also so much hope around what is coming next at Amanda Hope.

In a recent conversation with a Business Owner seeking to sell a 10-year-old business, we discovered that there were many personal relationships intertwined with their business ones. The major issues: the Owner's brother-in-law's company provided the major raw material while a childhood friend provided additional goods.

In the lower middle market, most sellers must finance a portion of the sale of their business. Expect to provide anywhere from 5% to 15% seller financing. This helps close a funding gap and demonstrates that you believe in the business as a going operation.

Sellers who are confident in the buyer's future success can look at seller financing as an investment and a tax-saving strategy.

What an incredible and inspirational message from Eric McElvenny this morning at the Accelerent breakfast.

And a big thank you to Mel Carr for the invitation — I’m so glad I was there.

He talked about a moment when he felt defeated and wanted to quit. On his first attempt, there was pain, fatigue, and he couldn’t even get his leg on the way he needed to.

What an incredible and inspirational message from Eric McElvenny this morning at the Accelerent breakfast.
