LETTER FROM THE EDITOR

Welcome to the 2022 Financial Year! It always feels like such a rush at the end of a financial year with business owners going over their numbers and figuring out their tax obligations. With the books now closed on 2021 it's a good time for business owners to assess their current circumstances and what comes next. Take stock of the past 12 months, and write notes on your achievements, challenges, and what you’re going to focus on in 2022. It’s been a difficult year for many businesses with the effects of COVID and government enforced restrictions. Pivoting and adjusting a business has been an important lesson. Those who adapted quickly saw the least disruption. How will you continue this mindset in 2022? If you are considering selling your business this financial year, it's important to remember the time it takes to prepare and sell a business. If you want to achieve the optimum price for your sale, you need to have a good understanding of your business systems and how it will survive after you have departed. The start of the financial year is a good time to speak with a business broker and your account to get your business appraised. Understanding your price and what changes need to be implemented will ensure you are ready to sell if the time comes. Professionals will always tell you a well prepared business will achieve a better price. Ideally, a business should be sold when it is on a high, not struggling. Our team has worked hard on this month’s edition to bring you more informative content, this is why we moved to a bi-monthly edition, so that we could deliver you more. We are surrounded by professionals and we want you, as a business owner, to be well informed when it comes to buying or selling a business. Wishing all business owners and our clients a successful financial year!

NEWS How Lockdown Has Affected Business Sales In Perth James Aritonovic from Ascend Corporate spoke to bsale about the impact COVID19 lockdown had on business sales in Western Australia. “We didn’t have any calls.” James said when the last lockdown happened, the phone “went dead” for three weeks before picking www.ascend.com.au up again, and when it did, they were incredibly busy. “Our pipeline of buyers has actually grown and in fact, it’s harder to get stock at the moment than anything else.” During lockdown many people lost their jobs or were made redundant, this sudden job insecurity inspired people to take action and there was an increase in people wanting to “buy themselves a job”. “They took a lot of the cash they had in reserve and actually went out and bought [small businesses]. I sold a number of smaller cafes for cash, which I hadn’t seen in years, somebody paying cash for under $200k cafes.” James said. At the end of the day people still need to earn money. Commenting on the ingenuity of these buyers looking to secure a job through business ownership, James said: “They are basically buying themselves a job but at least it’s a job that they can work on themselves and build themselves. Hopefully work with it and sell it for a lot more, when they want to move on themselves.” Specialising in franchising, particularly looking at cafes, James said due to people having to travel within the state of Western Australia during lockdowns, this led to an increase in sales. “Over the last 9 months there hasn’t been many cafes in Perth that haven’t reported sales increases of around 15-20% (at least 15%) across the board. That’s why we’ve taken averages over the last 3 years to appraise a business pre-covid, taking job keeper into account.” James said. With the changes in businesses profits, the addition of job keeper and overall economic turbulence, the process for price appraisals had to take a myriad of new conditions into account.

“With price appraisals we’ve actually taken an average before covid, and then obviously during covid a lot of people got job keeper, and we’ve taken that off in most instances.” James said. The economy in Western Australia is now “booming” (thanks in part to the mining sector) and as a direct result of lockdowns across the country, the types of buyers are changing too. “Because of our booming economy over here, people have packed up over there and coming over here. It has helped without a doubt, probably about at least 10% of my pipeline is now buyers from Victoria and New South Wales.” James said, going on to say that “we’ve found a lot of our buyers are actually coming from there [VIC and NSW] as there is a lot of people sort of going ‘well they don’t want to stay here any longer’.” James said. James believes that WA will definitely see that growth continue for another nine months but is “not sure what is going to happen after then, because we could see an interest rate hike, but also because of the skill shortage that might bring about other problems too.” With this business growth James said that “we’re all pretty busy” at Ascend Corporate but if you want to sell your business in WA, “come to me, let me sell your business for you!”.

How One Couple Sold Their Franchised Melbourne Bakery Within 4 Months, During A Pandemic When you think of Melbourne, it's hard not to think of Covid, lockdown, businesses closing left, right and centre. Businesses selling, isn't the first thing that comes to mind these days. Covid has had an impact on many people's businesses but here at Bonza, we have noticed that the level of serious buyer enquiry is increasing monthly, we are receiving more offers on businesses and more businesses are selling than pre-Covid times. Without any small business selling experience, one Melbourne couple began searching for a broker who could aid the process of selling their franchised bakery. After comparing business brokers, they

NEWS decided to go with a traditional brokerage based in their local area. The bakery was popular, their customers were loyal, their turnover grew quickly, and business continued to boom to the point where they were taking around $730,000 in revenue a year. So why hadn't they sold yet? After their first broker had no success, the couple decided it was time to try a different approach and found Bonza. From the start, Bonza utilised virtual connectivity combined with cloud-based systems to deliver a highly effective business sales process. Creating an eye-catching advertisement that was displayed across the major business for sale websites, along with an informative business profile, this Melbourne bakery started receiving immediate interest. With an offer received on the second day of being listed, they instantly saw results. Earning a total 53 prospects and 4 firm offers within the 4 months of being listed, this Melbourne couple successfully sold their business and were able to move on to a new opportunity. Here is what they had to say: "We have experienced many brokers over our journey of buying and selling. Bonza were by far the most professional, comprehensive, diligent and thorough brokers with outstanding professional service and effective electronic systems for both the buyer and seller. Thank you Nicole and Nigel for assisting with selling our franchised bakery. Your dedication to our success was second to none. Whilst the electronic system was fabulous, Nicole and the team were always available via the phone whenever we needed an update. We believe, in this modern climate, that it really is about exposure online in the first instance - which they excelled at, but more importantly buyers want fast, instant access to information, not a coffee in a cafe, and Bonza delivered this. Many potential buyers commented to us that our broker was by far the most professional and efficient they had dealt with. Bonza's automatic system notified us of enquiries, who was progressing through the process, and any enquires that had been eliminated, it was very helpful and reassuring. I highly recommend Bonza and their team." The lesson here is clear. Like any industry, there are good brokers and there are bad brokers. Finding a good broker is the best route to a successful exit. The 6

market is constantly changing, and it is important to find a broker that knows how to market your business, qualify buyers and ultimately allow you to focus on running your business, while they focus on selling your business.

Selling A Wedding Dress Store During A Pandemic Buying or selling a business comes with its challenges but trying to do this during a global pandemic can be even harder! During the Victorian lockdowns across 2020 and 2021, our agency has been very successful in helping buyers find the right business for them and most importantly, helping sellers move onto the next chapter of their lives. One of our most recent successful sales came with particular challenges, as it was both in the retail and events based industry. Although many retailers flourished online, some businesses like those selling wedding dresses were very limited in their ability to pivot or move online for obvious reasons. As a result, the sale of such businesses posed a great challenge in light of wounded buyer confidence in such industries and niche services. The sale required a lot of background work with the vendor and their accountants to ensure financials, sales and activity before, during and after the pandemic were clearly outlined. It was also very important that we had a clear breakdown of rescheduled gown collections, deposits and payment histories as well as gift vouchers sold. During lockdowns, many businesses were forced to promote the sale of Gift Vouchers in order to establish a steady cashflow for the business’s overheads and overall survival. It is important, however, vendors note that when it comes time to sell their business these gift vouchers that may have assisted in the turnover looking healthy will need to be adjusted and negotiated during the sale. While buyers are aware that the events arising from the COVID pandemic amount to exceptional circumstances, they also need to factor the running of a business with the presence of a potential COVID outbreak, so it is crucial when selling your business that you provide the financial reports for 2020- even if you were closed due to the lockdowns. The best

NEWS support to provide for your sale is to also have up to date monthly or weekly income breakdowns in order to prove to the potential buyer that your business is on an upward trajectory to recovery or reinforcing its stability through the sale trend data. No matter how small your business is or how low the sale price, the pandemic has meant the seller needs to do a little more work in order to provide this insight for the potential buyer and essentially chart the “Goodwill” performance of the business. With this particular sale, we also had to take a close look at the inventory (stock) to determine the value of the dresses and take into consideration passing seasons and trends that could impact their retail value. It is important as a seller that you have a good understanding of your stock and run a full stocktake before putting your business on the market for sale. Buyers are very sensitive to the idea of paying large amounts of money for stock, especially if the recent yearly turnover reports don’t support the quantity of stock holdings. Running promotional sales or campaigns to try and reduce your stock and sell off older items is crucial in achieving a smooth negotiation process and ultimate sale of your business. Although the pandemic has introduced some challenges for the sale of some businesses, it is absolutely achievable to sell your business and move on to your next chapter, provided you work with experienced professionals who can ensure you have all the supporting documents and paperwork required to reinforce buyers’ confidence in the stability or potential of your goodwill.

Leading the Nation. Skills Training up 21% in South Australia. Origibally Published: 01/07/2021 - David Pisoni MP.

SA is leading the nation in the growth of the number of people taking up apprenticeships and traineeships and the number in-training according the data released today by the National Centre for Vocational Education Research. “South Australia had the highest percentage increase in the country for apprentice and trainee commencements in the year to 31 December 2020, up 21.5 per cent compared to 2019,” said Minister for Innovation and Skills David Pisoni. The impressive result – released on the same day as the new South Australian Skills Commission comes

NEWS into effect – highlights how well South Australia is rebounding from the economic challenges created by COVID-19. “It’s fantastic to see nation-leading growth in apprenticeship and trainee commencements occurring at the same time South Australia has added 60,000 jobs since the depths of the slowdown caused by the pandemic,” said Minister Pisoni. “There was an incredibly strong finish to last year, with apprenticeship and traineeship commencements in South Australia in the December quarter of 2020 increasing 142 per cent (from 1,730 to 4,185) compared to the December quarter 2019. “The data showed there were 20,895 apprentices and trainees in-training, which is the first time in nearly six years that South Australia’s in-training number has been more than 20,000." Aside from leading the nation in overall growth in apprenticeships and traineeships South Australia also had the largest increases in training for: • Those aged 45 years and over, an increase of 65.8 per cent • Those attached to Group Training organisations, an increase of 7.5 per cent • Aboriginal apprentices and trainees, an increase of 12.6 per cent • Regional and remote apprentices and trainees, an increase of 25.3 per cent View Source

Government Support For Business Major new COVID-19 support package to help thousands of businesses across NSW Originally Published: 29 Jun 2021

The NSW State Government announced new grants package and changes to the Dine & Discover program to help tens of thousands of small businesses and people across NSW impacted by the current COVID-19 restrictions. The package includes grants of between $5,000 and $10,000 for small businesses, payroll tax deferrals for

all employers, an extension of the Dine & Discover program to 31 August and the ability for people to use Dine & Discover vouchers for takeaway delivered directly to their home by the venue itself. NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian said the centrepiece of the package was the small business support grants which will help businesses by alleviating cashflow constraints while trading is restricted. This can be used for business expenses such as rent, utilities and wages, for which no other government support is available. “We always said we will do whatever it takes to support businesses and keep people in jobs during the pandemic and that is exactly what we are doing,” Ms Berejiklian said. “The current restrictions are in place to protect people and keep the community safe, unfortunately businesses continue to incur costs such as rent, power and lost produce, and this will go some way to lessening that financial pain.” Three different grant amounts will be available for small businesses depending on the decline in turnover experienced during the restrictions - $10,000 for a 70 per cent decline, $7,000 for a 50 per cent decline and $5,000 for a 30 per cent decline. Deputy Premier John Barilaro said the new grants would be available across NSW. “This latest outbreak has coincided with school holidays when a lot of regional areas were counting on more visitors to help boost local economies,” Mr Barilaro said. “These grants will help many get through the winter, and just like after the bushfires, the floods and the first wave of COVID-19, the regions will lead NSW out the other side.” NSW Treasurer Dominic Perrottet said the small business grants would be available for sole traders and non-for-profit organisations, with expanded criteria to assist most hospitality and tourism operators hit hard by the restrictions during school holidays. “The NSW economy rebounded strongly from the challenges of 2020 and we’re taking action to ensure we keep that going. We are deploying our fiscal firepower when it matters, by helping small businesses stay in business and keep people in jobs,” Mr Perrottet said. “Once again we are delivering timely and targeted support to keep businesses in business and people in jobs as we work together to overcome this latest challenge.” 9

NEWS Businesses will be able to apply for the grants through Service NSW from later in July and will need to show a decline in turnover across a minimum two-week period after the commencement of major restrictions on June 26.

Small Business Lockdown Assistance Grant Available for WA

The grants will be divided into two streams:

Announced 29 April 2021.

1. Small Business COVID-19 Support Grant. Available to businesses and sole traders with a turnover of more than $75,000 per annum but below the NSW Government 2020-21 payroll tax threshold of $1,200,000 as at 1 July 2020.

The Small Business Lockdown Assistance Grants program will provide assistance of $2,000 to small businesses in the Perth and Peel region in industry sectors most severely impacted by the recent three day lockdown and restrictions.

2. Hospitality and Tourism COVID-19 Support Grant. Available to tourism or hospitality businesses that have a turnover of more than $75,000 and an annual Australian wages bill of below $10 million, as at 1 July 2020.

President | National Chair (AIBB) Unfortunately due to the current Covid-19 environment and the many changes, restrictions and lockdowns impacting our members, your Board has unanimously agreed that the National conference which was planned for August this year, will unfortunately be postponed to a new date next year, most likely around August 2022. Considering that the 2020 conference was also postponed for similar reasons, this is most disappointing for the many members and partners that have been looking forward to the conference for so long. I would like to acknowledge and thank everyone for the incredible amount of time and effort that has gone into making this conference what would have been our best yet. However despite the best of intentions, and the phenomenal amount of planning that has gone into planning this event, we believe the decision to postpone the event till next year is prudent and is in the best interests of our members and association. It is also important to note that taking these steps now will allow us to mitigate and minimise the costs incurred by the association. Delivering value for our members has always been our highest priority along with creating opportunities for our members to improve their skills, engage with each other and with industry partners, and our conference has always been an important part of the AIBB culture. We appreciate that this is a difficult time for many, and this is a decision which has not been made lightly is the correct decision for this time. We ask for your

understanding and support during this difficult time as the board remains clearly focused on the best interests of our members, our partners and in advancing our profession.

AIBB NATIONAL CHAIR

A message from Ian Jones,

With this being said, we are still going to hold an online AGM on (or around) Friday 20th August and we will also be celebrating our members successes with the annual awards, again in an online forum around the same time. Invitations and details about the AGM and the AIBB awards will be provided soon so please keep a look out for this and please participate if you can. The more members that engage and participate in these events, the better.

We will be looking at creating other opportunities and events for our members and partners, most likely in a more localised way or via online forums, and will provide details when we can. Wishing you, your families and your businesses all the very best during this difficult time, although I am confident that as we stay connected we will get through this and enjoy prosperity on the other side.

The golden boy of business brokers Arnold P Kelsey ABS Business Sales

Success isn’t built overnight, with over 20 years of experience in the world of business, Arnold Kelsey spoke to Bsale about how he became the successful broker he is today. Leadership came naturally “When I was in my early twenties, I was trying to decide whether I should obtain my MBA or not or find a suitable position and start work. I decided to take my time and not rush into it…I found a job as a storeman/forklift driver working in the warehouse/logistics side of an automotive manufacturing company." Arnold said. It was at this warehouse job that Arnold found himself gravitating towards leadership roles and it was clear he had an aptitude for business. “I started working and very quickly found the leadership in my area to be very average. I clearly remember running into a gentleman on my way to the rest room, he introduced himself as just Max and I introduced myself. I assumed he was an accountant or a salesman. He asked me how things were going in my area, I replied honestly and told him that it wasn’t very well organised. I also said that I was trying to sort things out without stepping on anyone’s toes. He asked me if I could improve everything if I was in charge and I said; definitely yes.” Arnold said. As it turned out, this man was the owner of the company and within six weeks, Arnold was put in charge of the warehouse/logistics area. “The promotions didn’t stop there, within less than two years I was promoted to Production Manager, in charge of five departments and over 200 people. I was only 24.” After 10 years, Arnold decided he wanted his own business so started a company manufacturing plastics. The Golden Boy From a young age, Arnold was referred to by his friends and family 14

as ‘the golden boy”. This carried through to his professional career where he’s regularly praised and asked to complete the hard tasks. “It was always ‘Arnold is just one of the best’ and I was lucky enough it followed on into the work environment. When I worked for other people, if they ever had any sort of an issue or problem, ‘go and see Arnold’. They had this incredible regard and respect for me. So that has made it very easy for me and when I decided to start my own businesses, I had the same response from my customers.” Arnold said. “Customers always recommended me to someone else, customers always said look you know we’ve been trying to get this done somewhere else we’ve been trying to do this…we know you can do it.” It’s not just talk; Arnold can put his money where his mouth is. His fast and growing success as a business broker is a testament to this. With a diverse business background from nightclubs to manufacturing businesses, Arnold has a thorough understanding of the intricacies of operating small to medium size businesses and he “especially loves the financial side of things.” Making the move to brokering was an obvious decision. Transitioning to Brokering “It was a bit difficult becoming a business broker, to start at the bottom again.” Arnold said. After having such a successful career as a business owner, it’s no easy feat to start back at the bottom of a new career. “97% of people that become business brokers drop out.” Arnold said, explaining that one of the main reasons for this is the workload and that many new brokers ``can't handle it, you have to make yourself available. Quite often somebody will ring and say ‘I have a business for sale’ if I don’t get back to them very quickly they will just ring somebody else and if they pick up first, they will.”

“To be successful, and if you enjoy your job, you gotta make yourself available and you gotta be prepared to make yourself available 24/7. It’s easy for me because I don’t have a family, I don’t have commitments, kids to take to soccer or music lessons.” Arnold said, while commending his colleagues that do. “I think it’s the same in Real Estate, maybe more so, because you have to do a lot of weekend work and the successful ones are the ones prepared to do it.” “I’m a Business Broker and the majority of the population do not know what it is that we actually do.” Arnold explains, “Business brokers are not salesmen, we are intermediaries, we assist buyers and sellers in the buying and selling process. My successful business experience, my financial acumen, my strong work ethic and my logical approach to solving problems makes me the ideal candidate to assist in the sale and acquisition of a business or a commercial property.” “None of us are, or can be, expected to be experts in every field. My advice is to always utilize the services of experts in their respective fields. Do not attempt to do it all yourself.” “I firmly believe that to be a success in the field of business broking, the goal should be about achieving win-win results for the sellers and buyers alike.” This is what Arnold calls success. Business is Business. What it takes to sell. “I’ve had something to do with so many different areas in my life that I don’t have any problems… for example today, I just settled on a beauty salon.” Arnold has never worked in a beauty salon, but he understands how business works. Business is business. “I can read their financials, I understand the demographics, all that sort of thing. So, I took it [the beauty salon] on because I felt I could sell that business. This lady

contacted me roughly 12 months ago. She had a beauty salon and had to close down for 2 months because of the pandemic.” The seller rang Arnold expressing her frustration with the broker she was currently with at the time, saying the broker did nothing for her but she still wanted to sell. “As usual I asked for a lot of information. I have this policy that I will not list a business unless I am convinced I can sell it, if I can’t sell it, I think I should tell them that and they should find someone else. She gives me all the information and I said to her ‘well there is no way in the world I can sell it right now’.” Arnold said. “I said to her ‘look, you’ve just reopened, you are telling me that the business you expect it to go back to normal and you will make the same amount of money as before’ but as a buyer, how do I know that is really gonna happen?” Arnold told her if she wanted to get the price she wanted, then she had to wait five to six months, offering her assistance if she needed it and wished her luck. Arnold followed up with her in December to find out how she went. The business was doing well and she still wanted to sell but was already with another broker. Another four months go by and the seller reaches out to Arnold again, telling him how unhappy she was with the new broker. “She already had 2 brokers she was unhappy and she says ‘are you prepared to help me?’… I sold that business in 6 weeks.” “There is a lot of luck, but it is how you promote it. Almost everything now adays is sold through the internet and sure, we have a huge databases and people approach us, but everything is done on the internet. You need to make the ad attractive to the sort of people who want to buy it and that’s what we try to do, that’s what I do with my ads and today we had settlement.” Arnold said happily, as he adds “I’m on a real buzz”. “I’ve got one extremely happy seller

and one extremely happy buyer. Of all the people, I really wanted to sell hers.” Arnold said, pride coming into play because the seller “already had two other brokers that had failed, I knew I could do it.” “That’s one of the things that’s enjoyable about this job, yeah look you have your ups and downs, and a lot of disappointments, but you also have these moments like today which is great, and I was able to do it for both the buyer and the seller.” Arnold said. Why the move to Brisbane. “One evening in Brisbane, I met the principal of ABS Business Sales, the agency that I’m currently associated with. He believed that my business expertise, my financial acumen and my MBA as well as my work ethic made me the ideal candidate to become a business broker.” Arnold said Arnold spent the majority of his adult life in Melbourne (with a stint abroad in the USA to get his MBA), uprooting and moving to a new city is never easy but starting a new career at the same time adds a significant challenge. “The biggest obstacle that I faced after joining ABS Business Sales was overcoming the difficulties associated with relocating to a new city. I was in a new city, not having a network of contacts or friends was and still is a major issue for me.” Arnold said and just as he started networking and getting new business contacts, COVID hit, and everything came to a complete stop.

ABS Business Sales Arnolds fast success as a business broker was noticed, in such a short time Arnold has built an incredible reputation and has already been approached by two other brokerages to join them but he says he has no intention of leaving ABS Business sales. “I’m very happy working with these guys. Some of the guys here are just amazing, you’re talking about [people] who have got a lot of experience. I’m the sort of person who likes to do things by myself, but we all need help, we all need assistance and it’s great to have people who support you.” Arnold spoke highly of his colleagues in Brisbane, a high feat as he proclaims himself to be “one of those guys who is very hard to impress.” “We are also lucky in the sense that we’ve got our support staff, it’s just really top notch, they are always there to assist us. That is one of the highlights of working with ABS, the support that I have received from the brokers, the principal as well as the supportive staff has been great.” Arnold said. “The only thing we have as business brokers are our reputations, if people start to say oh look you can’t trust Arnold. Do I really want that? No, I don’t. I’m a very proud person, I want people to say that I’m great.” And who could blame him and with his current trajectory, Arnolds results truly speak for themselves.

“I wasn’t the only one affected by the complete economic impact of the pandemic, but it was devastating for me.” Arnold said but in spite of that set back, he still managed to have “a brilliant start at ABS Business Sales.” “In my first full twelve months with one of the largest business sales offices in Brisbane, I was able to obtain 20% of all listings for that year.” As a new broker at a brokerage, this is a testament to Arnold's drive to succeed.

Your Deal Is Almost Done... Then Comes Due Diligence! Having an Expression of Interest or Letter of Intent signed by both the buyer and the seller can be a very good feeling. Everything can seem as though it is moving along just fine, but the due diligence process must still be completed. It is during due diligence that the buyer decides whether he or she is going to finalise the deal. Much depends on what is discovered during this important process. The purpose of due diligence is to assess the benefits and liabilities of a proposed acquisition by inquiring into all relevant aspects of the past, present and predictable future of the business to be purchased. Let’s look at some of the main items that both buyers and sellers should have on their respective checklists. INDUSTRY STRUCTURE You should determine the percentage of sales by product line. Additionally, take the time to review pricing policies,product warranties and check against industry guidelines. HUMAN RESOURCES Review your key people and determine what kind of employee turnover is likely. MANUFACTURING If your business is involved in manufacturing, then every aspect of the manufacturing process must be evaluated. Is the facility efficient? What is the equipment worth? Who are the key suppliers? How reliable will those suppliers be in the future?

TRADEMARKS, PATENTS, AND COPYRIGHTS Trademarks, patents, and copyrights are intangible assets and it is important to know if those assets will be transferred. Intangible assets can be the key assets of a business. OPERATIONS Operations are key, so you’ll want to review all current financial statements and compare those statements to the budget. You’ll also want to check all incoming sales and at the same time analyze both the backlog and the prospects for future sales. ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES Environmental issues are often overlooked, but they can be very problematic. Issues such as lead paint and asbestos, as well as ground and water contamination, can all lead to time-consuming and costly fixes. MARKETING Have a list of major customers ready. You’ll want to have a sales breakdown by region as well. If possible, you’ll want to compare your company’s market share with that of the competition. THE BALANCE SHEET Accounts receivable will want to check for who is paying and who isn’t. If there is bad debt, it is vital to find that debt. Inventory should also be checked for work-in-progress as well as finished goods. Finally, when buying or selling a business, it is vital that you understand what is for sale, what is not for sale and what is included, whether it’s machinery or intangible assets such as intellectual property.

"When buying or selling a business, it is vital that you understand what is for sale, what is not for sale and what is included, whether it’s machinery or intangible assets such as intellectual property."

Why Marketing Is An Excellent Investment When Selling Your Business If you own a business, then you will understand the importance of marketing. Marketing gets your story out and allows customers to know you exist, what you offer and why you should be preferred over your competition. Without marketing, you’re unlikely to operate at the optimum level. The same is true when selling your business. But marketing a business can be very different to marketing a product or service. Many small businesses rely on budget-conscious, bootstrapped marketing techniques: flyers, signs and networking that get their name out as widely as possible. When selling your business you need discretion and to be sensitive to the possibility of unsettling customers and staff. So shouting your plans from the rooftops isn't usually a good idea. Good business owners are careful with their marketing spend, considering options and demanding accountability and effectiveness measurement. It’s important to understand that marketing is not a cost; it’s an investment on which you should expect a return. Business brokers have the experience, resources and buyer database assets to effectively focus your business sale investment and achieve a high return. Identify the Buyer The first thing you learn about marketing is to identify your target. Business brokers understand people who are looking to buy a business and are able to determine the sort of buyer your business will attract, whether it’s a competitor, an investor or someone looking for a specific business type or geographic location. Identifying the buyer also means identifying and understanding their motivations. Are they looking for something to run themselves or something they can leave in the 18

hands of a manager? Do they want to work in the industry they love, or are they hoping for a business that will let them make money while cutting back hours? Experienced business brokers understand the motivations of different buyers and how the relevance and appeal of your business may suit them. Advertise Accordingly Once the business broker understands your target buyer and their motivations, they advertise your business in the right places. Remember, confidentiality is a key part of a successful business sale, so it’s important to know how to advertise without revealing certain specifics regarding the business. With their understanding of your potential buyer, a broker knows how to cost-effectively reach them, whether through online advertising, traditional media or privately via an established and evolving database network of investors and buyers. Create Competition The more interest generated for your business, the higher the price it will command. A good broker can create competition between prospective buyers, giving you a better chance of achieving a high price quickly. Brokers are able to create the marketing materials, content and channels that will attract serious buyers looking for exactly the type of business that you have built. The sale of a business requires unique materials including Information Memoranda and other documents, which emphasise the benefits of buying your business without disclosing any identifying details if necessary. This is a very particular type of copywriting and it is essential to invest to ensure it is done properly. Monitor and Report As with all good marketing plans,

it’s important to know whether your business sales marketing efforts are working. A good business broker monitors their marketing efforts on your behalf and reports back to you about what is working and what is not. The important measures are rate of response, relevance of the respondents and evidence of what they understand from what they have seen or read. From there, the broker will adapt or refine marketing if required, to assure you of the best possible outcome. Monitoring and reporting is an essential part of a broker’s business. It provides important information about the state of the market, trends in business selling, preferences and demand and which channels and content work best. Investing in a business broker provides access to all that knowledge. When planning to sell your business, always consider marketing as an essential investment. It will ensure that you identify the right type of buyer, find that buyer and demonstrate that your business is a very attractive prospect and relevant to their needs.

IWG Opens Its First Flexible Working Space In North Queensland The world’s leading workspace provider has opened its first office in Townsville as a part of its expansion into regional Queensland Townsville, Australia, 17 June 2021 – IWG, the world’s leader of flexible workspaces has announced that it has opened a new Regus centre in Townsville, Queensland. The Regus office is the first of 10 ‘flexspaces’ centres as part of IWG’s franchise with the Adams Group in September 2020. It will extend IWG’s footprint into areas where demand for flexible office space among local businesses and entrepreneurs is increasing. The centres, in addition to Townsville, will be located in the Sunshine Coast, Cairns, Noosa, Mackay, Rockhampton, Gladstone, Bundaberg, Hervey Bay and Airlie Beach. The centre sits above the Northtown Flinders Street Mall and is owned by The Adams Group. The centre will be located at the following address – 2nd Floor/280 Flinders St, Townsville QLD 4810. This comes following the signing of IWG’s first franchise deal in Australia, in partnership with the Adams Group in September 2020. Total area for the centre is 700sqm+ with several 2, 4, 6+ workstation offices available to lease. The first customers commenced moving into the centre on June 10 with the Regus centre officially opening today on June 17. Life Legal, a Family Law firm based in Townsville, is one of the first businesses to move into the space. Kerrie Stuart and Natasha Busby from Life Legal were looking for a modern, easy to get to office space that had all the amenities, “Regus was a perfect fit for us,” said Kerrie Stuart. “The appetite for flexible and coworking spaces was booming

in Australia pre-COVID and the pandemic has only increased demand. There is a clear gap in the market for a high-quality product in North Queensland and our employees are looking forward to enjoying the flexibility offered by Regus within this brand-new centre,” Ms Stuart said.

per cent better on total occupancy than those in the city network. We have now seen post the pandemic that our suburban and regional centres are receiving more inquiries from those looking to work in an office closer to their place of residence,” said Damien Sheehan, Country Head for IWG in Australia.

“The franchise concept offers our partners the unique opportunity to make an attractive, high-yield investment with the know-how of the market leader and their local expertise. Within Townsville is a strong entrepreneurial spirit and we are proud to foster that spirit through this new centre”, said Mark Bhardwaj, IWG’s Head of Partnership Growth in Australia and New Zealand.

As an investment, flexspace is a tried and tested business model, promising low staffing requirements and strong customer retention rates. Thanks to the contract-based nature of flexible office services, fewer recurring customers are required for generating a healthy profit (compared to, for example, dining outlets).

“We want to create a true global and national network – and that’s where franchising comes in. The market is moving fast. We need to move faster and faster, and we want to find franchise partners who can help us dial up the pace of the growth of our brands,” said Mr Bhardwaj. In 2020, Queensland was by far the most popular destination for those migrating within Australia, with a net gain of 30,000 people in 2020, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics.1 Regional Queensland in particular, saw a substantial number of moves from the other states, pushing regional Queensland migration to record levels.

IWG has more than 30 years of experience of launching and running flexible spaces all over the world, and an array of established flexible office and coworking brands under its belt to match different demographics and local business needs. IWG recently signed global deals with Standard Chartered and NTT to give access to a combined workforce of 395,000 to its more than 3,300 workspaces globally These innovative deals reinforce IWG’s leadership position in the hybrid workspace industry, where the business is supporting workers from all industries with every type of hybrid work solution.

IWG currently operates in 71 locations in Australia adding two new locations to its portfolio in 2020 with the opening of Spaces Riparian Plaza in Brisbane and Spaces 60 Martin Place in Sydney. “We have several centres located in suburban and regional areas, in addition with CBD locations. During the pandemic, IWG’s suburban centres performed on average 20

Adding Value To Your Business Before

IT'S TIME TO SELL W

hen it comes time to sell your business, it is important to present it to potential buyers in the best possible light. This doesn’t mean just looking good on the outside, your business should be profitable and functioning well to appeal to prospective buyers. Importantly, has the business divorced itself from you the owner, so that the Goodwill vests in the business itself and is not seen to be part of you, the owner. Exit planning is essential for the survival of your business, for the

sole fact that not all sales are gradual processes. Some occur due to sudden events, such as ill-health or family issues. Having an exit strategy in place ensures a smoother transition when it comes time to sell your business.

when preparing to sell: •

Make sure all financials are up to date- this demonstrates that you are on top of the financial aspects of the business at all times.

A great way to prepare your business for sale is to view your business through the eyes of a prospective buyer. Would you want to buy your business if you viewed it with fresh eyes? If the answer is not a concrete ‘YES’ then you have work to do. Here are some ways you can add value to your business

•

Show proof of profitability (even with certain adjustments)

•

Ensure all necessary contracts are in place, up to date and can be legally transferred to new ownership

•

Tidy up processes, manuals 21

and other key operational documents to demonstrate that they are fully up to date •

•

Make sure your lease for the premises is secure if the premises is of critical importance to the ongoing business e.g. a retail business Sell off plant and equipment as well as other assets that no longer contribute to the business so that they do not represent any weaknesses and become a distraction to the sale process. Similarly with any redundant or old stock.

•

Do a general ‘tidy’ of the premises.

•

Organisational structure- are there key staff in place and how critical are your (the owner’s) functions to the business?

To demonstrate a real life example, the writer was contacted by an accountant to meet with his client who wished to retire and

sell his business. The owner was performing the functions of both factory manager as well as a specialised machine operator on an expensive piece of equipment which produced approx. 50% of the income. I immediately identified this as a weakness and threat that a buyer would identify and I advised the Vendor to immediately advertise for and employ a qualified engineer to take over the machine operator function. By the time that the business profile was completed and the business was placed on the market, the Vendor had employed a suitable replacement so that when qualified buyers questioned who would replace the vendor in this function, I could answer that this person was already in place and being trained. This then eliminated a major objection and opened up options of who the buyer may be. The business received 4 offers within 4 weeks and was sold within 6 weeks.

selling your business is to be able to attract as many qualified Buyers as possible, in order to provide you, the Seller, with as many options as possible and to be able to obtain the best result for you in respect of both price and the terms agreed.

A Complete How-to Guide On Starting A

NEW ONLINE BUSINESS

re you interested in starting a new online business? Keep these things in mind!

First, you need to decide whether you want to start a strictly online business or extend a brick-andmortar store online. In this article, I'd like to take you through some of the different online business models that exist to give you some ideas to analyse and consider if you're thinking about getting into the 'e' world. Please bear in mind that this is just a basic overview and not an exhaustive list. 1. DIRECT SELLING FOR PHYSICAL PRODUCTS: Most of the time, direct sales (especially with physical goods) would come first to most people's minds when they think of 'vending' online. Customer A purchases a physical item from your e-commerce store, and you deliver the goods to the customer's specified location. It's important to note that the online variant of 24

the direct sales business model differs from the offline physical shop-based business model, and if you want to switch the physical store online, you'll need to change the practices to account for the differences. This online business model comes in several flavours, including: a. Pack your stuff by yourself and

ship – this goes without saying. From inventory management to packaging and handling, you're in charge of the entire operation. This is the model I started with for my first online store, and the chances of making a mistake are very high unless you have good processes in place!

b. Go for Outsourcing/Drop

Shipping – This is when you sell a commodity that you don't physically see or stock, and a third party delivers the order. There are no goods in this model, but it can be very profitable if done correctly, given

the minimal effort involved. However, expect low margins because if your third-party supplier makes a mistake, the consumer will point the finger at you. Drop delivery is paired with white labelling to mask the third-party interference from the consumer, and it looks like they are purchasing directly from you. 2. DIRECT SELLING FOR VIRTUAL PRODUCTS: This is a direct sales model where you sell your customers "virtual" items on an item-by-item basis. eBooks, audio files, images, courses, and other multimedia items are examples of virtual products. The advantage of this model is that once you've created your virtual goods, you can turn it on and, to put it another way, "make money while you sleep." The following are some examples of variations: a. You create – This applies to

you making the products for download or distribution and offering the provided services. b. Using white labels – This is when

you use material created by someone else, but the consumer still sees the logo and is unaware that a third party was involved in the process. They also are unaware that you did not create the product.

3. DIRECT SELLING FOR SERVICES: Yes, single-transaction direct sales are possible for services. An accountant, for example, could sell personal end-of-financial-year tax returns, with full payment made electronically before the service is rendered. The customer then sends all of the requisite details to the firm for completion. Why are you doing this? The company receives immediate payment upfront; no chasing needed, and no account management is required. For service-based companies that want to take advantage of online sales, there are a plethora of options. The following are some examples of variations: a. You deliver – This is where you

sell the service and finish it yourself.

b. White-labelled – This is when

you offer a service, but the order is provided by a third party, all under your brand name and without the consumer knowledge of the third parties involved.

4. SUBSCRIPTION: This model works for both physical and virtual products and services. The subscription model includes: •

selling physical and/or digital services/products through your website,

•

receiving payments electronically, and

•

delivering according to subscription levels and schedules.

If correctly set up, this model can be very profitable, particularly if you need your customers to stick to minimum subscription periods. Adding a subscription program to an established direct sales model will also help smooth out the monthly revenue ups and downs, making it easier to control the cash flow and plan ahead. 5. ONLINE MARKETPLACES This model is popular among startups, those who need to transfer stock quickly, and those who want to build and operate an online membership-based market. The following are some examples of variations: a. Existing – for instance, eBay,

Marketplace, Amazon and Gumtree: This business model focuses on selling on established websites such as eBay. I'm a bit hesitant about this model because it's not easy to get right, particularly given the fierce competition and customers' desire to get the best for the least amount of money.

b. In-house – you create your

marketplace: This choice is for anybody who wants to make their own 'eBay.' This is a very uncommon model that is both expensive and difficult to implement. However, with this model, you have complete control and have no commissions to pay.

6. COMBOS When you deploy several business models simultaneously or move from one model to another based on internal requirements, business, or consumer needs/factors, this is known as a combo. For instance, you might build a subscriptionbased business while still selling some products directly. One of the great things about the modern (internet) world is that there are so many options for setting up your online company. Furthermore, a digital model is much more adaptable than a conventional bricks-and-mortar model, enabling you to grow faster, cheaper, and

more efficiently than your offline competitors. 7. AUTHORITY Perhaps the newest online business model is that of authority or influence. This affiliate style marketing can garner the person with authority a significant extra income stream. Whether they utilise Social Media channels such as Facebook, Instagram or Tik Tok or run an entire YouTube Channel or Podcast. An authority business draws and holds attention online and can monetise that attention in various ways, e.g., pay per post, 'use my code' advertorials garnishing a % back to the influencer for sales using their 'unique code'. If you have a significant number of followers or subscribers and provide entertainment, information, or inspiration to the point where people keep coming back for more, brands will be interested in collaborating. In an authority business, the owner or brand is usually better known than any particular product or service they promote, and it's not a business that can be on sold for profits later on. The influencer is the commodity. Do you have an online business that you are interested in selling, now or in the future?

Top Tips For Business Growth For The Next Financial Year The end of the financial year is upon us. Now is the time many business owners are looking for ways to grow their business for the year ahead. Financial experts from myPOS have provided their top tips for business growth. 1. Boost your market penetration We all know that customers are the lifeblood of any business and therefore we suggest that you try to boost your market penetration by reaching more customers. Do market research on your existing and potential clientele using surveys and other research analytics. Market expansion requires prior preparation as you’ll need to serve more customers as your business expands. 2. Streamline operations

4. New product / service development Just as you’re planning to expand your customer base, consider catering to an even wider clientele by expanding your product or service offering. Think accessories for physical products or associated services for a service you’re providing. Also consider providing additional value-added services. One example after the Covid-19 pandemic is the trend of digitalising entire businesses and creating brand new online channels for additional sources of income. 5. Forming strategic partnerships

Look for bottlenecks, inefficiencies, sources of delays and then try to resolve them as quickly as possible. Any item in your processes that isn’t streamlined is ultimately going to cost you time and money down the road.

It might just be time to grow, and growth happens through the formation of strategic partnerships. These might be competitors that you choose to join forces with or other businesses in your business’ value chain that can help you get reduced prices for some of the raw goods you might be supplying.

3. Outsource

Desislava Tsoneva

Consider outsourcing as a growth strategy. Especially if you’re still a relatively small business and you don’t

want to take on too many demands or deal with a bold, upfront market expansion. Make sure you communicate your needs, visions, aims and goals to your outsourcing partner and establish lasting relationships with them so that you can rely on them in the future.

UNDERSTANDING BUSINESS SALES

WHY ARE BUSINESS DETAILS KEPT CONFIDENTIAL? 1. LOCATION

2. BUSINESS NAME

Often sellers like to keep the location of a business confidential. There are a number of reasons such as; 1) They don't want people to identify their business 2) They don't want buyers walking in and talking to staff 3) They don't want income or staff turnover impacted if people start talking about the sale.

Similar to location, the name of a business or business owner may be withheld. If the seller decides to advertise turnover or net profit, they may not want competitors or staff seeing this information.

3. TURNOVER + PROFIT A businesses value is mainly based on the amount of profit it can generate. To ensure a seamless transition of the business to the new owner this information is generally reserved for genuine buyers.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR A BUYER? When you see a business for sale and it has generic information or location like "Sydney" or "Melbourne". Its important to contact the seller to find out specific details. Sellers may request you complete an NDA. This is important to protect the business. If your a genuine buyer you will need to go through this process. 27

We Spoke to the Owner

Like People? Then you will like this flexible, recession proof, guaranteed income business for sale.

A truly recession proof business, with guaranteed income streams, that allows owners the flexibility to work wherever they like? It sounds too good to be true but that is exactly what this business for sale opportunity is. This business for sale is all about the role, the job the new owner will do, rather than the business itself. A professional management services business, established over 10 years ago, the current owner has owned and operated the business for the last 5 years. With a background in accounting, the current owner says this has helped him with this role but is not necessary. When asked if he enjoys his role the owner laughed saying “I wouldn’t have stayed 5 years if I hadn’t” going on to say that the business has got a lot of variety. You need to be “a little bit of everything.” “There is a lot of scope and opportunities for new owners in Southeast Queensland, which is our target area, it is the biggest growth area in the whole of Queensland.” This is an attractive work from home opportunity for a buyer who perhaps doesn’t have the funds or accessibility to go into an office space, that doesn’t have to stop

you from being a business owneroperator. If you do want to work in an office though, you do have the option to take over the current owners office lease in Brisbane. “You don’t need any qualifications or licensing for this job.” the owner said. The current owner will provide a minimum of 6 weeks training to the new owner, to teach them the software and systems and is even happy to stay on working part time in the business or when required. To help the new owner transition smoothly. With so many transferable skills, somebody with a background in administration could go far with this business and is definitely not one to miss. “The software is sophisticated industry software that does all the crunching for you, but you have to understand what is going on. This business couldn’t be more ideal for first time business owners. As the current owner said: “It is really low risk, plenty of training and no qualifications needed but you need a bit of maturity because you’re dealing with businesspeople. All sorts of people. They could be lawyers, accountants, truck drivers, they could be anyone. You need to be able to deal with people

from all walks of life.” This business for sale boasts that it is recession proof with great cash flow, but what does this actually mean for the buyer? “We bill our clients every three months. So straight away you can put $25 thousand off of your payment price from the first of July.” The current owner explained, this is what makes this business recession proof, “you have guaranteed income flow every 3 months but in between that you have other income streams that you can bill on the daily, weekly or monthly.” When it all boils down, professional management businesses like this are about people. “If you’re good at that. People forget what you did but people remember exactly what you said and how you made them feel. So, a little bit of humanity goes a long way. These are the most effective and successful people.” The owner said. This opportunity is great for a first-time business owner or a couple looking to work together in a business, though in saying this, this business opportunity would be absolutely perfect for somebody with a background in administration who is looking to become their own boss.

RESTRUCTURING YOUR DEBT

here are no two ways about it, expenses are part of business ownership. This can often lead to debt and the business needs to acquire a loan to operate. Oftentimes debt feels overwhelming, like climbing a steep hill, but it doesn’t have to be if you have the right plan. “Money markets believe that the world economy is recovering faster than expected after the impact of COVID19 and that recordlow interest rates are no longer required.” Director at Southshore Finance, Mike Coombes said. “Whilst the RBA [Reserve Bank of Australia] has signalled to the market that the ‘cash rate’, a primary indicator for variable rates, will not increase until 2024.” Mr Coombes said.

There is a risk of rates increasing as the economy strengthens, increase in the medium to long to long term which would result in the increase in fixed rates in the 3 plus year range. In saying this though, rates are still historically low and as Mike Coombes says; “This presents a golden, almost once in a lifetime, opportunity for borrowers to rapidly reduce debt. With fixed interest rates beginning to rise, now is the time to lock in or consider options on how your debt is structured.” It is generally recommended to assess your debt reduction strategy every 5 years, though Mike Coombes believes that you should be doing it every 3 years. “3 years is a ‘manageable’ period

when assessing debt reduction strategy.” Coombes said. “One year comes and goes in a blink of the eye, and 5 years is too long for most people to remain focused. 3 years is a happy medium.” One way you could restructure your debt would be to; Work out how much of your debt you could reasonably pay off within three years (and apply this amount to a variable rate) and split the remainder to lock in a fixed rate before it increases. According to Mr Coombes, it appears “only the fixed rate is on the increase at the moment, with typical variance between the two at 0.5 to 0.75%.” “However, the pace of debt reduction needs to be managed

against the impact on cash flow.” Mike said. This is where having a viable strategy is important, to ensure that the loan product has an offset or redraw facility. Mike went on to say that this enables ”surplus cash to be used to reduce interest costs but allow the flexibility to access the funds to meet cash flow requirements.” While COVID has impacted the economy at a macro level, many business owners in Australia are currently experiencing a cash flow boost due to the government interventions like the JobKeeper programs. “Feedback from lending institutions is that there has been a record level of debt reduction over the past 12 months.” Mr Coombes said, going on to elaborate that this is expected to change, “particularly with the recent end of the JobKeeper program and the easing of government stimulus in general.”

For business owners, the rising fixed interest rates will likely have a negative impact on their confidence levels. Mike said “for some it will be the fear of how they can manage their debt with increasing rates. For others it will be annoyance at missing out on fixing rates before they increased.”

As business owners learn to adjust their business model to the new norm, these issues tend to be short lived. “A robust business should be able to absorb interest rates increases, particularly when linked to a growing economy.” Mike said. “The level of debt itself is not the issue, it is the capacity to service, particularly if rates do increase. It is important now more than ever for business to retain liquidity.” Southshore Finance, established in 1994, has provided a full finance service to new and existing business owners across a range

TAX

ou can never be too prepared. Tax planning is important as a business owner and the end of the financial year is a good time for business owners to start thinking about their future, and how to get ahead. “It's good to stay up to date on these tax legislative changes and how it might impact your business.” Shukri Barbara, the founder of Property Tax Specialists, said. “I think generally things will remain the same. A lot of this year's Federal Budget was focused on extending current schemes such as the instant asset write off scheme.”

Planning in 2022: How to get ahead

It is important to stay up to date on tax legislative changes and how it might impact your business, so as to plan accordingly. The best way to do this is to have an accountant. “Each time you're looking to make a major tax or financial decision, you should be consulting an accountant who can tell you what tax implications there are by doing this,” Mr Barbara went on to say. There are tax planning activities that every small business owner can implement right now that can put them in the best possible position to see out the next 12 months.

PREPAY YOUR EXPENSES. Prepay your expenses that have a duration of 12 months or less. Look at your business and what you bought in the last financial year, buy all those things you need for next year now COMPANY PLANNING/ RESTRUCTURING Taking the time to assess whether your business is working as well as it could, cannot be underestimated. 33

INCREASE SUPERANNUATION CONTRIBUTIONS If your business made a healthy profit, increase your superannuation contributions. Prepay the April quarter employee superannuation guarantee. LOOK AT THE INSTANT ASSET WRITE-OFF FOR ANY ASSET PURCHASES The instant asset write off scheme for eligible businesses has been extended through to June 2022. It might seem simple, but make sure you take advantage of this. WRITING OFF BAD DEBTS Finding a good accountant can

help owners identify bad debts and debts they can write off now. You can read more about restructuring your debt online at bsale. “These are all options available for small business owners to ensure that they're maximising profitability in their business.” Mr Barbara said. This advice is fantastic for business owners but what about brokers? “Similar to the above, it's important to look at your structure/planning for your business.” Shukri said, going on to say for brokers “It's important to look at your profitability (if any) and assess how best to maximise this. This is where the value of a great accountant helps.” If you’d like to know more about your tax planning options for 2022 you can contact Shukri Barbara at Property Tax Specialists.
