This podcast will talk about a little pain point that we have in our company that is a business valuation calculator. People are looking at tools and real estate like Zillow or go through the Kelly blue book of cars and think"Why don't we have a business valuation calculator?
It's been going on for a long time but the truth is we'd like to. Problem is it's hard. So there are a couple of really good baselines, like earnings and revenue. We can talk about guidelines and what that looks like but what makes us so difficult is you can take two businesses that have the same revenue and earnings, worth hugely different amounts. It's like two, three times each other, barely even close. And that's because of the intangibles.
There are a lot of things that go into an enterprise such as intellectual property, defensibility software and more that really make it an even more complicated discussion rather than simply, Hey, what's your income and how much are you worth? that hypothetically. We're currently working on it. It's probably a little early to talk about the issue, but we're currently working with an incredible business to resolve this issue, and we'll come up with a solution shortly. But in the interim should you have any questions about how do you increase the worth of your business, or even what your business is worth, why not contact us at Freedom Factory. We're looking forward speaking with you soon.
How do I prepare my business to sell
Entrepreneurs often aren't sure what they should do to prepare their company to sell. If you've made the decision that you'd like to sell your business. Now what? Well, the first thing you'll need to take care of is get your home ready for your company to sell. So go and take two or three years of tax-related tax reports.
And financials and put those together. Find them from your accountant and get them ready to go. If you've not put together an operations manual, now is a great opportunity to create one. You're familiar with how your company works, you know how the different departments interrelate however, when you decide to decide to sell the business you wish to make it as effortless as possible for the transition to an owner who is new.
This value is likely be included in the sales price. Therefore, put your operation manual as well as new job descriptions and make sure your home is in order. The third step is to finding out how to put your team together. Find a great broker and an appraiser. Get an idea of the value your business has. Begin to write the story and then figure out what you want to accomplish. we going to bring it to market?
When are we going to introduce it to the market? What's the tax situation currently. You know, how can I recast my financials? What I say by that is simple. We're going to use 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 company earns as you file your tax returns. It's all about minimization, right? Tax evasion is a crime. Tax avoidance is very smart. It's why you're looking to spend as little tax as you can. Then, you have to translate that you know, from certain of your other expenses depreciation, for instance certain discretionary stuff and add that back to increase the value accurately.
Flag all the value that your business creates to make a big difference. Finally, you should know which industry you planning to enter? How do we maximize your multiple? There are ways to accomplish that. Consider the kind of sector you're in. Find out, for instance all your financials.
Make an operational manual to make the transition as easy as you can. All of this will be, can be a huge help when you put the right team.

When is the right moment to sell my business?
This is an extremely important issue and when is the right time to sell your company? This is a little more art than it does science. It's basically an examination of your knowledge. We're outside. This is my backyard. It's in my mountain house , and it's a bit of my happy place.
The first thing I'll suggest is to get some fresh air. Get out of the office. Get out of the commute, either with your family or out. Find a place that you can visit, regardless of whether you want to fish or ski , or go to the mountains , or go to the beach , and whatever it is simply go there and switch your place of residence and get somewhere you feel really comfortable.
And then think on your own business. When I think about it, and consider it in three areas. First, am I here and am I in the right place? Am I really into my business? Am I serving my business or is my business serving me? And I think your life is too short to be living where you work for your company. Your business is your personal vehicle to more freedom and more money.
The way I think of freedom is pretty easy - doing what you want, at the time you desire, and as often as you want, with whom you want. And if you're enjoying your work and think, God, this is amazing, and I am here and I am in the right place and doing exactly what I'm supposed in the way I look at selling my businesses to other entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs, then that's great.
It's not the time to sell your company. If you're not certain about that, I would think a little bit harder, and I would look at the situation and ask: Do I possess the correct vision? Do I have a clear view on where
I'm going to take my business on in the next three, perhaps up to five? What should I accomplish to overcome it and feel great and confident that I've achieved what I've done? If your company is growing 40% a year or 50% per year, you're probably having an eye-opening vision. You're probably doing really well and are probably at ease. However, if you've been growing by 5% in the past five years, well it's more difficult, and perhaps someone else is able to do it better than you.
If my company is expanding at 5%, I'm looking to sell. I'm thinking, okay. I'm looking for an operator. My style is more of a strategist. And how do we focus on making something extraordinary, that is focused and purposeful however, your growth rate will be a big indicator of this.
And the final thing is, you've done what you set out to accomplish if, when you started your business. When I first came to the business brokerage business, i was aware that I wanted to alter the way entrepreneurs purchase and sell businesses. I've started three of the largest brokerages. I've hired one of them, or bought them to attract the staff, and have transformed it into a effective market. That's exactly what I set out to do when I came to this place.
If you were to leave your current business and think about this for a while and then decide to leave, would you feel happy or would you feel as if you weren't able to finish what you set out to accomplish. So I looked back at it and I say I'm okay, is my business serving me. Are I focused and clear every day?
Do I have anything left to accomplish and do I have new ideas to implement the idea? These are the questions that walk you through it. It's an imprecise science, however in the end, it's a gut check. What do you think? Are you convinced that it's time to sell your company?
Since, if I ever think about selling the business the item, it's usually six months too to be. If you have other questions on this or anything else that you need help with, it's our pleasure to assist you with your questions here at Freedom Factory. We're waiting for you to give us a call
