This podcast will talk about a little problem we face within our organization which is a valuation calculator. People are looking at real estate and tools such as Zillow, or they look at Kelly blue book on automobiles and ask"Why don't we have a business valuation calculator?
You've been doing this for so long but the truth is we'd like to. But it's not easy. There are some excellent baselines, for example revenue and earnings and we can talk about guidelines and what they look like. What makes it difficult to achieve is that it is possible to take two companies that have the same revenue and earnings, but with hugely different amounts. In reality, two, three X the other, and they're not even as close. And that's because of the intangibles.
There's so many things to an enterprise - intellectual propertyand defensibility software that really make it an extremely complex issue than just, Hey, what are your earnings and are you worth five times this hypothetically. Now we're working with it. It's probably a little early to talk about it, but we're working with an incredible company to resolve this issue, and will have a solution soon. However, in the meantime If you have any concerns about how do you maximize the worth of your business, or even what your business is worth, why not give us a call at Freedom Factory. We're looking forward speaking with you in the near future.
How do I prepare my business to sell
Many entrepreneurs aren't sure of how to prepare their business to sell. You've decided that you'd like to sell your business. What do you do now? Well, the first thing you'll need to take care of is to get your house organized to get your business for selling. Also, get two or three years of tax or tax-related records.
Also, financials and put them together. Get them from your accountant and have ready for. Second, if you haven't put together an operations manual, now is a great time to do so. You're familiar with how your company operates, and you understand the ways that different departments interact and when it comes time to are selling your company, we want for it to be as simple as possible to transition to a new owner.
This value is likely to be taken into consideration in the price of sale. Therefore, put your operation manual as well as new job descriptions together , and put your house in order. The third step is to discover, well, put your team together. Find a good broker and an appraiser. Get an idea of what your business is worth. Create a story, and then decide how we going to take the business to market?
When do we plan to launch it? You know, what's the current tax environment. You know, how can I alter my financials? What I refer to as simple. We're going to take you EBIDTA or your accountant's ability to do the same thing, and we're going to translate it into seller's discretionary cash flow, that is.
A fancy way to describe all the money that your, that your business creates during the process of filing tax returns. It's a game of minimization you think? Tax evasion is illegal. Tax avoidance is extremely smart. It's why you're trying to pay as little tax as you can. Well, we need to translate that, you know, from the non-cash costs you incur such as depreciation, some of your extra-ordinary expenses, and then put it into the equation to maximize the value.
Make sure you highlight the value your company creates which will bring about a significant change. Also, do you know which industry you likely to be in? How do we maximize your multiple?

What is the best moment to sell my business?
This is a crucial topic and when is the right time to market your company? This one is a bit more of an art than science. And ultimately it's kind of an assessment of the things you've learned. We're outside. This is my backyard. mountain house and is kind of my home.
The first thing I'm going to suggest is to get some fresh air. Take a break from the workplace. Escape the daily grind whether with your family or away. Find a location where you could go, no matter if you like to fish or ski , or go to the mountains , or go to the beach , and whatever else simply go there and switch your place of residence and get somewhere you feel really comfortable.
And then think on your own business. And I look at it and consider it in three ways. The first is, am I here and am I in the right place? Are I actually in my business? Am I serving my business or is my business serving me? In my opinion, it's too short to live in a place where you serve your business. Your business is your personal vehicle to more freedom and more wealth.
And the way I define freedom is fairly simple - it's doing what you want, when you desire, and as often as you want, with whom you want. And if you love what you're doing and you feel like, God, this is amazing, and I am in the right place and am in the right place and doing exactly what I'm supposed, which is the way I view selling businesses for other entrepreneurs This is awesome.
It's not the time to sell your business. If you're not sure about that, I would consider a bit more and then I'd look at the situation and ask: do I have the right idea? Do I have a clear vision of where I am going?
I'm planning to expand my business over the next two, three, or maybe or even in five years? What do I need to accomplish to overcome the issue and feel good, and feel like I've accomplished what I've accomplished? Now, if your business is growing at 40% per one year or even 50% per year, you probably have an enlightened view. You're probably doing really well and are probably that you're in the flow. On the other hand If you've been growing at 5% for the past five years, then that's a little bit more difficult, and perhaps somebody else can do it better than you.
If my company is growing at five percent, I'm planning to sell. I'm saying, okay, I'm looking for an operator. I'm more of a strategist. How do we concentrate on really creating something that's extraordinary, that is focused and purposeful, but your growth rate will be a big indicator of the fact that.
The last thing to remember is, you've done what you set out to do if you went into your company, when I began my business brokerage business, i knew I wanted to change the way that entrepreneurs buy and sell businesses. I've created three of the biggest brokerages. I hired, the third one, I've purchased them to gain the right people, and I've transformed it into a better market. That's exactly what I set out to do when I came here.
If you were to leave your current job and thought about this for a while do you feel satisfied or do you feel that you didn't finish the job you set out to accomplish. So I looked back at it and I say I'm okay I'm satisfied with how my business is serving me. Do I feel clear and focused every day?
Do I have anything I need to complete and do have fresh ideas for implementing that vision? These are the questions that will guide you through it. It's a bit of an unreliable science, but all in all, it's a gut check. Do you agree? Do you think it's time to sell your business?
Since, if I ever think about selling my business the item, it's usually six months too to be. So if you have any other questions regarding this, or anything else that you need help with, it's our privilege to help here at Freedom Factory. We're waiting for you to give us a ring.
