THE 5 MISTAKES TO AVOID WHEN SELLING YOUR BUSINESS

Selling a business can be a complex and emotional process, with a lot at stake for both the seller and the buyer. Unfortunately, many business owners make common mistakes when selling their business that can significantly impact the final outcome. This article will discuss some of the most common mistakes people make when selling their business and provide tips on how to avoid them.

planning for a sale until they are already in a financial crisis or experiencing burnout. As a result, they may end up rushing the process, making poor decisions, and leaving money on the table.

1. FAILING TO PLAN AHEAD

One of the biggest mistakes business owners make when selling their business is failing to plan ahead. Selling a business generally isn’t something that can be done overnight - it requires a lot of preparation and thought. Many business owners don't start

To avoid this mistake, business owners should start planning for a sale one or even two years in advance. This will give them enough time to prepare the business for sale, identify potential buyers, and address any issues that may reduce the value of the business. Planning ahead will also help business owners avoid feeling rushed and overwhelmed during the sale process.

2. OVERVALUING THE BUSINESS

Another common mistake that business owners make when

selling their business is overvaluing it. This can happen for many reasons, including emotional attachment to the business, a lack of understanding of the market, or an unrealistic view of the business's potential. However, overvaluing a business will often lead to a lack of interest from potential buyers or a lower sale price.

To avoid this mistake, business owners should have a realistic understanding of a fair market price for their business. This can be done by conducting a business appraisal that takes into account factors such as financial performance, market trends, and comparable sales. Having a clear understanding of this fair market price will help business owners set a realistic asking price and negotiate with potential buyers.

3. NEGLECTING FINANCIAL RECORDS

Neglecting financial records is another common mistake that business owners make when selling their business. Buyers and their accountants will need to review financial records to evaluate the business's financial health and potential for future growth. If financial records are incomplete or inaccurate, it can reduce the value of the business or even scare away potential buyers.

To avoid this mistake, business owners should maintain accurate financial records and be prepared to provide them to potential buyers. This includes income statements, balance sheets, cash flow statements, tax returns, and any other relevant financial information. Having accurate financial records can also help business owners identify areas where they can improve the business's financial performance and increase its value.

4. FAILING TO PREPARE THE BUSINESS FOR SALE

Another mistake that business owners make when selling their business is failing to prepare it for sale. Buyers will want to see that the business is well-maintained, organised, and ready to be transferred to new ownership. Neglecting to prepare the business for sale can reduce its value and make it less attractive to potential buyers.

To avoid this mistake, business owners should take the time to prepare the business for sale. This may include organising files and documents, completing any outstanding repairs or renovations, and ensuring that all equipment and assets are in good working order. By preparing the business for sale, business owners can show potential buyers that the business

is well-maintained and ready for new ownership.

5. NOT ENGAGING A PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS BROKER

Finally, many business owners make the mistake of not engaging a business broker to help them sell their business. Business brokers have the experience and expertise to help business owners navigate the complex process of selling a business. They can also help business owners identify and qualify potential buyers, negotiate the sale price, and ensure that all legal and financial requirements are met.

It is important that the broker chosen has a thorough understanding of the business sales market in the region the business is located in. This will also mean they should have a pool of potential buyers in their database.

The first step in engaging a local business broker is to request a customised Business Appraisal from your chosen broker. As part of this process the broker should describe their plan to take the business to market in a way that will attract suitable potential buyers. The appraisal will give the business owner a chance to assess the style of the broker, which is important because they may be working with you for an extended time period.

With less than 50% of businesses listed in Australia selling, and an average time on market of over 6 months it is critical that business owners take measures to avoid these mistakes to give the best chance of a successful business sale.

DO YOU NEED A BUSINESS VALUATION OR AN APPRAISAL?

So, what is the difference between a business valuation and a business appraisal?

The secret is not to worry about which word is being used, but to understand the reason for the assessment of business value being made.

A business valuation will always give you as its conclusion, an opinion of value. That will be the reason that the valuation is commissioned. A business appraisal may very well end up being a valuation of the business, but appraisal suggests that matters outside standard valuation factors may be considered in arriving at the final appraisal conclusion. History..

In the early days of business

valuation, especially around the time of the industrial revolution and the advance of the machine age in the early 20th century, businesses were valued on their tangible assets. These businesses were large manufacturing, engineering and farming plants, and they dominated the business landscape. These businesses were valued according to the balance sheet and goodwill was not even considered as a factor in valuation theory. Subsequently, business valuation wasn’t that difficult as asset valuation can be done with a high level of accuracy.

Value a business = value its assets.

With the advance of the services age, and now the information age, most of the time a business valuer will be valuing intangible assets and not tangible assets.

Tony is Managing Director of BCI Business Brokers and has over 30 years’ experience of business broking in Australia. He graduated in Arts and Law from Sydney University in 1976 and since then has run his own business.

This will usually involve intellectual property, databases, customer information, relationships with customers, ongoing royalty income, etc.

So where does that leave the distinction between valuation and appraisal today? While accepting that the terms can be used interchangeably, what are some of the differences that you might find when people are talking about each term.

A Business Valuation is commissioned:

• For litigation purposes

• To solve commercial dispute.

• To determine value of shares among shareholders.

• For taxation investigation or general tax purposes

• When the opinion is required to be independent.

Business valuations in this category will be defining value as

market value, the price at which a willing but not anxious buyer, and a willing but not anxious seller would be prepared to transact with equal information on both sides of the transaction.

A Business Appraisal will be sought.

• To determine the value of a business prior to sale or purchase

• Where current owners want to understand how much the business is worth with a view to improving its value

• Where the aim may be not so much to arrive at a business valuation opinion, but to generally assess the strengths and weaknesses of a business.

• Where independence of the appraiser is not important.

Business appraisals in this category may be defining value as market value, but they may otherwise be defining value as investment value or value specific

to a particular buyer that exists in the marketplace.

If you’ve been asked by a solicitor acting for a party involved in litigation to act as an expert witness, you know you are going to do a business valuation, as it must be an independent report and you may be cross-examined on the accuracy of the report as well as the independence of your opinion.

If a business broker is asked on behalf of a business owner to appraise a business that the broker is going to sell, the broker is clearly doing an appraisal. A broker doing an appraisal, not been bound by the restraints of market value, can consider all matters relating to that business that could affect the potential sale.

WHEN THE TIME COMES TO SELL YOUR BUSINESS WHO DO YOU NEED ON YOUR TEAM?

The role of your team is to ensure you get full value for your business when selling.

Selling a business, whether to a family member, your manager or someone outside the company, requires a lot of upfront planning if you want to get full value for your company.

In much the same way you would prepare your house to go on the market to show it in the best light, you want to get your business in order before you sell it, to get the maximum value out of it.

Preparing for a sale often starts by building a trusted team of advisors.

STRATEGY ADVISORYOUR BUSINESS BROKER

The first person to contact is a business broker your "trusted business advisor" who will help you to get an overall understanding of your business, and help you to clarify what you want to achieve with the sale and how you will get there.

Your strategy advisor is likely to be a business broker, exit planning expert or a mergers and

acquisitions specialist. This person will help you:

1. clarify why you’re selling

2. identify what you want to get out of the transaction

3. help you understand all aspects of the sales process (This includes valuation, due diligence, the transition process, do’s and don’t and the costliest mistakes to avoid.)

4. advise you on preparing your business for its sale

This advice will help you take personal stock of what you want, to help you get very clear on why you’re selling, this is a very important first step or first introspection point. Unless you’re very clear on the what and why behind the sale, you may not get what you want from the transaction.

It can be tempting to go to your lawyer or accountant first, but they are going to give you very specialized

advice from a single perspective. Your business broker, on the other hand, can bring together all the moving parts—legal, accounting, insurance and tax. It is a business broker's role to help the other advisors work simultaneously, rather than sequentially.

Most of all, your business broker will propose improvements and investments to help make your business more attractive to potential buyers and maximize its sale value.

THE LAWYER

Your lawyer will help you look at compliance laws and regulations affecting your business. The lawyer will also help you anticipate any changes in the legal or regulatory landscape.

As you examine your assets, including intangible

assets like intellectual property, the lawyer can also help you understand your ownership rights and what can be transferred as part of the sale.

Intellectual property may include:

5. trade secrets, such as customer and marketing information

6. your brand, logos and trademarks

7. patents and product designs

8. processes that are unique to your firm

The lawyer can help you draft a shareholder agreement and update the buy-sell agreement between all shareholders, something you should always have current regardless of sale. The lawyer also drafts the terms and agreement of the sale.

THE ACCOUNTANT

Before buying your business, the buyer will want to carry out thorough due diligence to ensure your books are in order. An accountant can help you prepare beforehand so there are no

unexpected surprises.

For example, many business owners mix their personal and business finances.

But if you’ve been writing off business expenses to lower your personal tax or sprinkling income among family members as a tax shelter, you may put off potential buyers. Your accountant can help you identify these types of red flags and clean up your books.

THE BANKER

Your banker will ensure you can finance a deal if the buyer requires vendor financing. He or she can also play a role in finding a potential buyer. The banker can also play an important role in helping make the business more attractive for potential buyers by financing reinvestments into the business and providing strategic advice.

When the time comes to sell your business, it is critical to maximise the sale price. To do this you will need a team of professional experienced advisors. Give yourself an advantage and contact us today.

DON'T SELL A BUSINESS - UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR TAX OBLIGATIONS

You don’t need to be a tax guru, but there are some things you need to understand.

You don’t need me to tell you that selling your business is a big deal.

Author: Allan Johnson Founder and Director Accumul8 Advantage

It’s your chance to cash in on the years of hard work, lost family time, and mental stress you have invested. Often, the business is your superannuation or the seed capital for your next venture.

Your desire to realise as much as possible is natural.

Giving any of that to the ATO (Australian Tax Office, in case you need reminding) is painful at the best of times, so minimising your contribution to the Canberra blackhole is essential.

The good news is that paying no capital gains tax is possible.

Your accountant will do most of the heavy lifting here and a good accountant will also help you make the important decisions. But knowing the taxation basics beforehand will save you time and dollars.

Here are a few basics to get you started.

THE IMPORTANCE OF OWNERSHIP

If a company owns the business, you have the option of selling the business or the shares in the company. As a vendor, selling the shares is often the best taxation outcome as all gains will be capital

gains and, therefore, easier to retain tax-free.

However, although there are no immediate tax detriments for the purchaser, buying shares is fraught with danger. Typically, a purchaser will opt to avoid buying shares. If the company's business assets include special licences/leases/ agreements that are not easily transferable, selling the shares may be the only viable option. For other ownership structures (sole trader/partnership/trust), you will be selling the business assets, hopefully as a going concern. In this case, you will deal with a combination of income and capital gains tax exposures.

INCOME TAX

Although selling your business is primarily an asset sale, some components of the transaction may affect your profit (and, therefore, your income tax) position. The main ones are -

1. Trading stock

“Plus stock at valuation” is a common condition in business sale agreements. Where trading stock is significant, an independent valuer may be appointed, but there is always room for negotiation. You need to understand the taxation implications of the valuation.

Like the annual end-of-year valuation in your income tax return, a higher valuation will increase the business profit, so consider how that will affect your income tax outcome.

And a warning - don’t declare a sale valuation significantly higher than the amounts included in past tax returns. Depending on the amounts involved, the ATO may conclude that you have been understating your past income.

2. Depreciated assets

Over recent years, you may have taken advantage of the instant asset write-off

concessions available to small businesses.

Any portion of the sale price attributed to those assets will need to be included as a “Profit on Sale” of those assets.

It is unusual to include that allocation in the sale agreement. Typically, both parties would make their independent allocations postsale. You, therefore, have some “wriggle room”. But again, if the amount involved is significant, an unjustifiably low valuation may pique the ATO’s interest.

3. Uncollected debts

If the business accounts are prepared on an accrual basis, you may claim a deduction for any debts existing at the sale date that are not collected.

Uncollected debts are ignored for businesses accounting on a cash basis.

Any of these income tax liabilities may be able to be avoided by making a concessional superannuation contribution.

CAPITAL GAINS TAX (CGT)

The impact of CGT is far more complex than income tax. There is a minefield to navigate, which can materially alter the outcome. So DO NOT make any final decisions until you have consulted your accountant.

As stated at the start, all you can aim for is a general awareness of the possibilities and potential issues which may apply in your situation.

Eligibility

Before considering any exemptions or concessions available, you must pass the eligibility tests. These are

1. Your business must be a small business entity with an aggregated turnover of less

than $2 million, and your net assets must be less than $6 million.

2. The asset must be an active asset. It would be unusual for a business to fail this test, but some assets (e.g., shares or property) may not be considered active even if the business owns them.

3. For companies or trusts, there must be a significant individual. A significant individual would typically be you or your spouse holding at least 20% of the control of the business.

What could trick you? Aggregated turnover includes the turnover of affiliates where you control the business activities, so aggregation may cause you to fail the test. Similarly, net assets can include assets owned by affiliates.

Assuming you’ve cleared the eligibility hurdle, we can consider some options. The exemptions and concessions are not mutually exclusive. You can apply more than one to achieve the required result.

Exemptions

1. If you have owned the active asset for at least 15 years, are over 55, and are retiring, 100% of the capital gain will not be subject to CGT.

2. If you have owned the active asset for at least a year, you are entitled to the 50% general CGT exemption plus a further 50% reduction. Effectively, this means that 75% of the capital gain is exempt from CGT.

3. Capital gains made when selling an active asset may be exempt. You are allowed a lifetime CGT-free exemption of $500,000. If you are under 55, you must contribute this exempt amount to your superannuation account.

What could trick you? For the 15-

year exemption to apply, you must retire. That doesn’t mean you have to stay retired. Retiring at 55 may appeal to some, but for others, returning to some form of activity after a period of retirement is necessary - it’s still your call.

CONCESSIONS

Any non-exempt capital gain will be taxed unless you apply the CGT concession available to business owners.

You can defer the capital gain made (and therefore CGT) by applying the small business rollover concession. This concession allows you to reduce the cost base of any other active asset you purchased in the previous 12 months or will purchase in the next two years.

The downside is that when you finally sell the replacement active asset, the capital gain could be higher as it will include the deferred capital gain. But, all the exemptions discussed above will still apply to the “new” capital gain, and your age/retirement status may mean more exemptions will apply.

SO, WHERE TO FROM HERE?

Feeling confused is quite natural, but armed with this information, you now have a general idea of the issues involved when you consult your accountant.

Ask your accountant to set out your tax plan in writing well before the sale so you can understand how income tax & CGT may affect you post-sale.

If applicable, plan your retirement (however brief that happens to be).

And plan what you will do with the sale proceeds now that your accountant has helped you avoid sending any of it to Canberra!

WHEN SELLING A BUSINESS, IT’S IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER THE BUYER

Barton Cha

Sinosmart Business Brokers

Author: Allan Johnson

Bill Gates famously observed that “people overestimate what they can do in one year and underestimate what they can do in 10 years.” For Barton Cha, the director of Sinosmart Business Brokering in Sydney, the last decade has been one of significant achievement.

Coming to Australia in 2013 with his wife, who held a working visa, Barton craved the security of permanent residency. Buying a business was recommended as the solution, but this proved challenging.

Barton explained, “There were not many Chinese background business brokers in Sydney (when he started), and you could not get good advice. When you are in a new country, it’s difficult for you to understand the legal things about regulations, how to do the valuation, and how to get a lease. Everything is difficult and different.”

After approaching two Chinese background business brokers in Sydney and receiving very unprofessional treatment, Barton thought, “Why don’t I do it myself? Then I can give the service to newcomers after me.”

He started his own brokerage business and, except for a brief time as an employee of a national brokerage, has steadily built Sinosmart into the successful business it is today.

Barton’s experience highlights that business buyers come from all walks of life and look to purchase a business for multiple reasons. When the time comes to sell a business, it's critical to consider the potential buyer and how your business can suit their needs.

With the reopening of borders, we see more immigrants moving to Australia and buying a business as a natural and possible visa pathway to permanent residency and citizenship. We are also seeing an increase in buyer enquiries

from people with various ethnic backgrounds, such as Chinese, Indian, Pakistani, Vietnamese, and Korean.

So what does this mean for business brokers? We are seeing an increase in specialisation in specific niches such as Sinomarts' focus on assisting local and international Chinese buyers. A shared language and understanding of culture help to build bonds and guide the seller and buyer through the settlement process.

WHAT TYPES OF BUYERS ARE YOU SEEING?

As a business brokerage specialising in assisting Chinese buyers, Barton observed, “there are not many overseas Chinese every year who are coming to Australia planning to buy a business. Unless they know Australia well, they are afraid to buy. They aren’t even sure where they want to liveMelbourne, Sydney, the other states, or regional centres. It’s all new.”

This limited pool of overseas buyers, plus the disruption of COVID, caused Barton to rethink what type of people are actually buying businesses in Sydney now. He was aware that in many suburbs of Sydney, the Chinese population could be as high as 30% to 40%.

“There is a strong demand from local Chinese who want to buy businesses, so I decided to sell to the Chinese who stay in Australia for a while and are ready for another adventure. Even students who come to Australia for three or four years of study may be interested in buying a business. ”

“And although we specialise in working with Chinese buyers, we also work well with other cultures. We have sold businesses to Korean, Vietnamese, Middle Eastern, Iranian, and Indian buyers .”

WHAT TYPE OF BUSINESS DO IMMIGRANTS PREFER TO BUY?

A common misconception is that immigrant buyers, in particular, Chinese buyers prefer hospitality businesses. Barton laughs at that stereotype.

“Small hospitality and retail businesses are a good start for Asian immigrants. They will work hard in those businesses and improve themselves and their understanding of Australian business laws before moving on to more complicated businesses such as small supermarkets, wholesale, manufacturing, and even childcare.”

“Remember, many of these immigrants (or their children) become lawyers, accountants, and doctors and build more business skills, understand the local background, and have more experience. They can be successful in any type of business.”

Barton also commented that the typical immigrant is highly motivated and willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. They will recruit family members to help with the workload and often benefit from the support of the local community, particularly when the business caters to the specific cultural needs of that community.

IS IT HARD TO SELL AN AUSTRALIAN BUSINESS TO AN OVERSEAS BUYER?

Despite Barton’s close contacts in China, selling a business to an overseas investor is still challenging.

Barton commented, “This is another reason we transitioned to include working with local buyers!”

In addition to the obvious difficulties of conveying business

information meaningfully to overseas buyers who need help understanding the Australian business environment, the added complication of visa applications can derail the negotiation process.

Speaking the same language is a significant advantage for Barton, and modern communication options also assist. But, the process can be too lengthy for some sellers and may only proceed if visa requirements are met.

The complex world of business visas is a specialist area, and the outcome will be life-changing for the applicant. The Sinosmart team fully understands the intricacies of the requirements to obtain a visa and how buying a business or property may be a critical component. Because the application process is administered by government departments, making sure the

correct procedure (including the eligibility criteria) is followed will improve the chances of success.

“The requirements can change at any time. We have to be aware of Commonwealth and New South Wales regulations. They sometimes regulate to prefer specific industries or impose employment conditions as well as capital investment requirements.”

“I am only licensed to operate in New South Wales and ACT, so we only focus on those regulations. We can collaborate with business brokers in other states (particularly Queensland) but keeping on top of the regulations here is enough.”

Barton has not noticed any preference by buyers to buy businesses in other states because those states offer business incentives. “Most buyers have already decided where they want to live before starting their search for a business. Any incentives are a bonus. The bonuses depend on what the government wants to promote at the time.”

BUSTING THE MYTH!

Despite the difficulties, Barton still sells businesses to overseas buyers “mainly mainland China and a small portion from Hong Kong.”

However, he was keen to bust the myth that overseas buyers will pay extraordinary prices for businesses.

Barton explained, “I am often contacted by business owners wanting to sell to overseas buyers. They seem to think Chinese buyers will be willing to pay anything for their business.”

“But it’s not like that at all. Overseas buyers are smart and they know numbers so they can quickly work out whether it is a fair deal. Yes, they will usually pay a small premium, but it has to be fair. In Asian culture, we want to have a win-win.”

BARTON’S ADVICE FOR BUSINESS SELLERS.

“Be ready to sell at a reasonable price. You need to recognise that business conditions will be tougher over the next few years. People have less money to spend so many businesses will suffer.”

Barton agreed that the postCOVID problems of supply chain bottlenecks and labour shortages are passing, particularly with the return of overseas students in significant numbers.

However, the effects of inflation and higher interest rates will reduce business profitability and, therefore the potential sale price of businesses in the short term.

“Rents, power, and higher wages costs all make it harder, and with customers having less to spend, buying a business is riskier at the moment.”

AND, WHAT IS THE FUTURE FOR BARTON?

Consolidating his obvious advantage in this valuable niche is Barton’s focus.

“We are doing well in this niche market through collaboration and expanding our target market beyond Chinese to include anyone speaking Chinese, Mandarin, or Cantonese. We have helped buyers from Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Cambodia as well as Iran, Vietnam, India, and even Kenya.”

“We also help non-Chinese Australians as buyers or sellers, so although our primary focus is on Chinese, we can work with any nationality. We specialise in working with local business owners and their accountants to sell their businesses to Chinese or other Asian buyers (but not exclusively!). ”

LOOKING TO BUY A BUSINESS?

Whether in the pages of magazines or on countless posts in social media, we are regularly presented or should I say bombarded with articles advising sellers the process of selling a business and what they will be required to do from the time the thought of selling comes to mind until the business sale is settled.

What if you are a buyer, especially a first-time buyer? Most would say that they do not have any idea of where to start or what will be required?

In most cases a potential buyer will make the decision to purchase

a business, whether their first or not. In the majority of cases, they will search the internet and find a business or several businesses that appeal to them, online. They will then contact the broker, by phone, a text message or the most common, they will lodge an enquiry online. That’s the easy part, what happens next?

Any reputable business broker will not provide any confidential information about a business, including the name or location without having a Non-Disclosure Agreement or a Confidentiality Agreement completed. The reputable business broker will also qualify the potential buyer

With over 20 years of experience as an owner operator of his own Manufacturing business, Arnold gained a thorough understanding of the complexities associated with being a business owner.

by requesting information about their background, their ability to fund the purchase of the business and many more questions.

The information is critical for several reasons, two of the most important are:

Finance: It is extremely difficult to obtain finance to purchase a business. If the buyer doesn’t possess solid assets and doesn’t already have a very substantial portion of the purchase price, obtaining finance will be very unlikely. The buyer’s background, experience in the industry can also come into play.

Lease: The landlord is very unlikely to assign the existing lease or offer a new one to a buyer who doesn’t have proven experience in the industry. The landlord will also want to know if the buyer has the funds to cover the rent bond and the first month’s rent. Even if the buyer has the funds to purchase the business and cover the bond, if he doesn’t have the experience in the industry, the landlord has every right to decline the assignment of the existing lease or provide a new lease.

Once the business broker qualifies the potential buyer, they will provide an Information

Memorandum prepared by the business broker or his agency. The Information Memorandum will generally provide all relevant information about the business, including the name, location and financials, such as Profit & Loss for the past few years.

After analysing the Information Memorandum, which can be confusing, especially for firsttime buyers, the potential buyer will usually have a number of questions for the broker. The broker might be able to provide the answers and if not, will obtain the information from the seller. If the potential buyer is satisfied with the information that is provided, the next step is an inspection of the business premises and a meeting with the seller.

If everything moves forward satisfactorily, the price will be negotiated and agreed to by both parties. This is part of the sale process where dealing with an experienced, capable business broker is absolutely priceless. Eventually, it will be time to sign a contract.

The buyer will be required to pay a deposit, generally 10% of the purchase price. I realise that certain business brokers will

attempt to have a contract signed and a deposit paid as soon as possible. I completely disagree with this practice. In my opinion, there’s absolutely no point going to contract if the buyer doesn’t have the funds, is not in a position to obtain finance or if he’s not going to obtain the landlord’s approval.

This is where a broker properly qualifying a buyer in the beginning of the process, is in my opinion critical. Keep in mind that even the most capable, experienced and reputable broker is mostly relying on the information provided by the potential buyer to be accurate and factual, there’s a limit to what a broker is able to check.

Potential buyers need to be honest and upfront about all the information they provide about their background, their financial position and be prepared to fully divulge all the required information to the business broker.

A number of potential buyers refuse to complete a Confidentiality Agreement and or answer the business broker’s qualifying questions. Personally, I shall never pass on any confidential information about a business without a Confidentiality Agreement completed and my qualifying questions answered.

If you are considering buying a business and require more information about what appears to be a mine field, an experienced, reputable business broker will make the process easy and seamless. If you require any assistance and would like a clearer understanding of the process, do not hesitate to contact me. as featured on

Have you prepared yourself for the day? Does this sound familiar? Does owning a business have similar resonances? Do business owners need assistance in letting go? Do you have an exit strategy? Are you subconsciously thinking, will I ever get the money I believe my business is worth?

The answer will invariably lie in ensuring that you have prepared yourself for the day, with an active exit strategy that is structured with timelines and actions. An exit strategy to ensure you get the most money in your pocket typically starts like this;

1. PREPARATION

Make sure your business is in tip top condition. This will involve presenting the financial information for sale, and not for tax purposes. Get your accountant to review and normalise (adjustment) the accounts to reflect the business's revenue and costs in order to show the optimal returns the business generates. Address any legal or structural issues with the business. Make sure that the business is fully

compliant with the relevant legislation that applies to your business. If it is going to be a share sale, make sure the balance sheet doesn’t have any encumbrances.

2. VALUATION

You should determine the market value of your business before deciding to sell. Use a business broker who is a Registered Business Valuer (RBV) to establish a market price for your business. An RBV has access to market data and has undergone rigorous training to provide a fair market value for your business.

3. APPOINT AN AIBB (AUSTRALIAN INSTITUTE OF BUSINESS BROKERS) ACCREDITED BUSINESS BROKER

They will manage the sale process. A business broker will be able to advise you when your business is ready for sale and advise on the sale process.

4. SELLING

Once a business broker has been appointed, an Information Memorandum or Prospectus will be developed that outlines and highlights the key features and benefits of the business. Then a detailed sales strategy will be determined that identifies the optimal sales channels and potential buyers for your business.

5. DUE DILIGENCE

A buyer and their legal representatives will conduct an in depth due diligence on your business to verify the information and data provided. It is a good idea to conduct an internal due diligence to ensure that a sale is not compromised by inadequate preparation.

6. EMPLOYEES

If key employees are critical to the sale, develop a transition plan.

7. SUPPLIERS

If your business depends on specific supply chains or suppliers, develop a plan to transition those agency agreements. With multiple supply agreements a share sale may be the only pathway to a successful sale.

8. NEGOTIATOR

This is where a business broker becomes critical, they will negotiate the most favourable terms of the sale; how to get the top dollar for your business.

Overall, the key to getting more money in your pocket from the sale of your business is to be well prepared, to foresee any encumbrances or roadblocks and address them prior to putting your business on the market.

Then let the business broker get the top dollar for your business!

DIFFERENT ASKING PRICE

So you’ve decided it’s time to sell your business.

Whatever your reason(s) for selling, one of your first questions will be, “what can I sell the business for?“.

For most business owners, the logical starting point is the accountant.

After all, this is primarily a financial decision. The accountant has all the business details, knows the “interesting” transactions affecting the results, can perform the necessary calculations, and will have to deal with the tax consequences of the business sale.

Armed with the accountant’s appraisal or valuation, the hopeful business owner consults a business broker while dreaming of the exciting possibilities for the mountain of cash resulting from the sale.

Enter reality. The business broker has the unenviable task of informing the business owner that the expected listing price may be

somewhat less than the number provided by the accountant.

“How can this be?” cries the disappointed owner. “Did my accountant make a mistake?”

Probably not - there is a difference between intrinsic value (which is the domain of accountants) and market value that a potential seller needs to consider.

Here are three reasons for the difference.

1. VALUING FUTURE PROFITABILITY

An accountant's appraisal will focus on the business's profitability, particularly future profitability. In most cases, a buyer will ask, “how much am I prepared to pay for potential profits? If these are to materialise, I will have to make that happen. “

Because of this, a buyer will place less value on potential profits than

the accountants' valuation models will. This is not to say buyers consider future profitability unimportant, but everyone values potential differently.

2. MARKET CONDITIONS

Most accountants are not acutely aware of the current market conditions for selling any type of business (except accounting businesses). Conversely, business brokers are very aware of current market demand and can adjust the listing price to allow for these factors.

However, individual brokers will have differing views of the market conditions and how those may impact a sale price of a particular business in a specific location.

Which is why it is importat to get an appraisal from multiple business brokers, so you can set yourself up with a realistic asking price.

3. DESIRED RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Even if everyone agrees on the future returns from the business, varying

appraisals are still likely.

When considering the business sale from a buyer's perspective, a return on investment (ROI) is often considered when determining the price they will pay.

Therefore, the seller needs to take the ROI into account when setting the asking price. This ROI percentage can vary.

Each potential buyer and their advisers will have a different target return. Some buyers may be prepared to accept a 20% return, while others will expect much higher returns.

The ROI can influence a buyers willingingess to buy a business.

Assuming everything else is constant, a business returning, say $100,000 annually may be valued at $500,000 by a buyer who will accept a 20% return but only $200,000 by a buyer expecting a 50% return.

So a buyer may place a different value on the business due to their own ROI expectations.

WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE A VENDOR PREPARING TO SELL A BUSINESS?

Selling a business is an important stage in the business owner’s life, and the desire to “get it right” is understandable. Therefore the vendor should:

1. Understand the factors that will affect the value of the

business. Profitability, loyalty of customers and staff, growth prospects for the industry, age of fixed assets, general economic conditions, and quality of operating systems are some of the factors to be considered.

2. Consult various experts. Yes, consult your accountant, but also talk to a few business brokers (local and national) to have a clearer idea of the range of possible values.

3. Be prepared to negotiate. While your broker can guide you, you will need some flexibility on price and conditions to achieve a successful sale.

Always remember value (like beauty) is in the eye of the beholder. The only objective measure of the value of a business is the number on the signed sales contract. Before that, any number contains an element of opinionwhoever prepares the appraisal.

TACKLING THE PROCESS OF BUYING AND SELLING BUSINESSES - WHAT QUESTIONS GET ASKED THE MOST!

As experienced brokers we hear questions from business owners and potential buyers on a daily basis. Often it is the first time someone has bought or sold a business so it’s natural they want to understand what is involved. Here are the most common questions we get asked at SOT Business Brokers.

WHY BUY A BUSINESS THAT ALREADY EXISTS INSTEAD OF STARTING ONE FROM SCRATCH?

What you are buying is a proven track record. An existing business has infrastructure, financial history, brand power, assets, staff and more. Some estimates say that one in three new small

businesses in Australia fail in their first year of operation and two out of four by the end of the second year. By understanding the history of an established business, you are mitigating the risk of starting from scratch.

THE BUSINESS SOUNDS GREAT, SO… WHY ARE THEY SELLING?

The reasons for sale differ from business to business but don’t be afraid to ask us why the seller has decided that now is the right time to sell. Some owners wish to retire in the near future, others are relocating out of Perth. Some sellers simply had an end goal to sell after they had built a successful business – allowing

them to move on to another venture. Sure, some owners wish to sell when their business when it is in financial decline, however potential buyers will be made aware of this. We operate with full transparency and in order to sell a business, we require a seller to provide full financial information which is available to potential buyers after they have been vetted and signed a NDA.

IS BUYING A FRANCHISE A GOOD IDEA?

There has been a boom in franchising in recent years – you can find a franchise for sale in almost every industry. Unlike setting up your own business, when you buy a franchise the franchisor owns the brand, intellectual property and associated operating systems. You will benefit from a wellknown brand, typically with a long history and a good reputation. The business model is established, so you will get access to refined procedures, operating manuals, stock control systems, financial systems and more. Franchises also tend to have good initial training, ongoing support and assist with marketing/advertising. There are many benefits and disadvantages of buying a franchise.

WHEN CAN I SEE THE FINANCIALS?

The majority of sales with SOT Business Brokers Perth are confidential sales and as such potential buyers are vetted to ensure they are serious and then they will be asked to sign an NDA (non-disclosure agreement). Once signed, you can review the business summary with headline financials. If you’d like to see the full P&Ls and financial picture, simply get in touch to arrange a meeting with one of our business brokers.

HOW TO VALUE YOUR BUSINESS – WHAT IS YOUR CALCULATION METHOD?

SOT Business Brokers Perth has a highly experienced team with strong financial backgrounds. The discounted cash flow valuation is still the most common methodology used when determining how to value a business and we review in detail the P&Ls (profit and loss statements), cash flow, asset and equipment value. We also take into account industry trends and competitor influences.

HOW DO I MAKE A FORMAL OFFER TO BUY A BUSINESS?

An offer is formalised with an ‘expression of interest’ form which we will supply you with. This is a non-legally binding document but ensures everyone is on the same page. This outlines what an offer will be, along with any terms and conditions that would be included/ excluded with the sale.

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY OFFER IS ACCEPTED?

If an offer is accepted a deposit is payable and a settlement date is set. Due diligence is completed subject to the buyer’s satisfaction. Depending on the business this could be very simple or more complex for larger businesses.

WHAT IS DUE DILIGENCE AND WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT?

The buyer can ask any questions they would like to understand the full business picture and get the confidence they need to continue the business. For example; can the claimed revenue and profit be verified? You may also wish to see legal agreements such as licences, permits, insurance policies, lease agreements, employee contracts, supplier contracts and more. The seller is responsible for collating any additional information that the buyer requires. A solicitor and accountant can be engaged at this point for any professional advice. How long the due diligence process takes really depends on

the business but you should allow roughly 15-30 days minimum.

WHAT OTHER COSTS NEED TO BE CONSIDERED APART FROM THE PURCHASE PRICE?

Does the purchase price include SAV (stock at valuation)? Note that the calculation uses the wholesale value. Other costs to be aware of include; stamp duty, fees for any third parties you engage such as an Accountant or Lawyer, assignment charges (lease application fee, assignment fee, rental bond, franchise application fee, training fee), loan establishment fees, initial working capital and more.

CAN SOT BUSINESS BROKERS HELP WITH FINANCING?

We can put you in touch with people who may be able to help, just let us know if you’d like some recommendations.

CAN SOT BUSINESS BROKERS SUPPORT WITH TAXATION AND SUCCESSION PLANNING?

Yes, SOT are partnered with Forrest Private Wealth who are a highly experienced team of financial planners who can advise in taxation and succession planning. Many businesses wait until a crisis occurs before success planning is considered. You may be in a great partnership now but what if things change down the track?

9 MAIN STREAM REASONS SELLERS GIVE FOR SELLING THEIR BUSINESS

about the reason for selling the business. The resultant answer after massaging will determine the course of how to approach the sale process.

In this article, I’ll share nine reasons and some tips on how to approach sellers in each of them. Although itemised, in a simple way, they can be extremely complicated and detrimentally impact the sales process if not identified early and managed. Remember, the initial reason presented my be a cover for another reason that the seller does not want to be aired.

1. RETIREMENT

As a business broker, I initiate conversations with entrepreneurs about selling their businesses as a matter of course. Brokers often underestimate the magnitude of making such a decision for a business owner. If the discussion is dealt with sensitively and empathetically, the broker is well placed to ask a core question

When speaking with business owners who are looking to retire, it’s important to approach the conversation with genuine awareness. They may have more attachment to their business, and their emotions may be running high.

I always try to understand the reasons behind their decision to sell, and help them to feel comfortable with the process. I explain that the transition can be a positive experience, and that there are many buyers who would be interested in acquiring their business which would ensure that

the legacy is continued. Encourage such a seller to plan for the future so that they focus on what will happen after the sale.

2. FINANCIAL HARDSHIP

Sometimes, a reason given by a business owner is that they are selling their company due to financial hardship, such a situation can be especially challenging. To all those involved in the sale as there are limited resources available to pay lawyers, advertising and get the obligatory accountancy reports.

It’s important to approach these conversations with sensitivity and caution as the owner may be feeling overwhelmed and embarrassed about their situation.

In this instance, the conversation should be focused on how I can help the business owner get back on their feet. I explain that I understand the challenges of running a business, and that I’m there to help them navigate the process of selling. I reassure them that selling their business is not a reflection on them as a business owner, but simply a means to an end.

3. PARTNERSHIP DISPUTES

As a previous multiple business owner in South Africa, Canada and Australia, Ray has an exceptionally high level of expertise when it comes to knowing exactly what to look for when buying or selling a business.

Another common reason encountered is when a business owner is selling their company due to partnership disputes, Here, it’s important to approach the conversation with a neutral perspective and listen to both sides of the dispute. Credibility is gained by avoiding taking sides.

In these situations, it’s more compelling to be transparent about the process of selling a business, and to ensure that both partners understand the value of the business. (Even if a formal valuation is called for). I communicate the importance of keeping emotions out of the decision-making process which enables them to navigate the complexities of dividing assets and responsibilities.

4. STRATEGIC

If a business owner is selling their business due to a strategic change, they may have mixed emotions about the decision. It’s valid to approach the conversation with an understanding of the business owner’s vision and goals. In this instance, I am totally transparent about the benefits of selling the business and how it aligns with their new strategy. I highlight the value of the business and the opportunities that are available to potential buyers. I encourage the business owner to think about the benefits of the sale, rather than the potential loss of their company.

5. BURNOUT

When a business owner is selling their company due to burnout, they may be feeling overwhelmed and stressed

but not fully understand the depth of exhaustion that they have reached. In this instance, it’s necessary to approach the conversation with simple but clearly identified steps and to help the business owner understand that they’re not alone.

In these situations, I listen to the business owner’s concerns and offer support. I communicate the benefits of selling the business and how it can help them achieve a better work-life balance. Furthermore, I encourage them to take time to reflect on their goals and aspirations, and to help guide them to make a decision for their future that is logical and beyond a “knee-jerk”.

6. HEALTH

If a business owner is selling their company due to health reasons, they may be feeling vulnerable and anxious. In this instance, it’s necessary to approach the conversation with care, compassion, understanding and confidentiality. I listen to the business owner’s concerns and offer support but I don’t take on their anxiety. I emphasize the benefits of selling the business and how it can help them focus on their health and recovery. I help them understand that selling the business is not a reflection on their abilities as a business owner, but simply a means to an end.

7. OPPORTUNITIES

When a business owner is selling their company because of better opportunities, it’s important to approach the conversation with curiosity.

I ask questions about their new

venture, and help them to see how selling their current business can help them achieve their goals. I reiterate the benefits of selling the business and how it can help them move forward in their chosen new career or venture. I encourage them to think about the opportunities that are available to them and to see that the sale is just an empowering step to reach new targets.

8. REGULATORY CHANGES

A less frequent reason given and one that is often disguised, for obvious reasons, is that the business owner has discovered that the government will be making changes in regulations and statutes that will have a direct impact on their business. Such information may dramatically affect the value of the business. This also impacts the broker’s need for a duty of care. I look at the issues and see how the seller can restructure the business so that it can be better packaged for a potential sale.

9. EMPLOYEE SHORTAGES

The pandemic has largely exposed the last reason for selling in this brief list. That of course is the shortage of employees. Staffing is necessary and the shortage in a business will impact its value and some owners get fatigued because of the resultant challenges.

IN SUMMARY

This brief list of reasons show us how important it is to look at the sale in a holistic way. The reasons given for selling will alert and focus you on the central, core thinking of the seller and ultimately the buyer.

Remember, the true reason for the sale may be initially hidden.

WITH SO MANY FOR SALE. HOW DO I SELL A CAFE OR RESTAURANT?

With the new year underway, it’s a great time to sell your cafe – especially if you got all your financials sorted. There are many buyers shopping for a business at the moment, and the majority would prefer to purchase an established enterprise, rather than starting from scratch.

IMPROVE THE PRESENTATION OF THE BUSINESS

Author:

Buying an established café/ restaurant is a great option, as it will have an established name and customer base, it is already trading, and the chances are the staff would be happy to stay on. There’s a fair bit to do once you decide to sell your cafe but, if you follow the processes, and seek expert advice, the whole transaction can be smooth and successful.

The way a cafe or restaurant looks can be a major factor when it comes to the selling price. Buyers would be willing to pay more for a business which looks well maintained and presents well since it means they can immediately concentrate on growing the business without requiring any additional cost or effort.

A business which looks dirty and run down means the buyer may need to spend on equipment repairs or close the business for renovations down the track which increases the risk of buying the business. It can also make

some buyers assume the seller has lost interest in the business causing them to make a low and opportunistic offer. Obviously, there’s no point in spending on a renovation just for the purpose of selling the business, however, things like making sure everything is clean and well organised go a long way in helping you attract more buyers to fall in love with the business. You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression.

In addition to the physical location, online presentation is also becoming increasingly important and it's not uncommon for buyers to go on Facebook and Instagram to check what customers are saying about the business. A Facebook profile with a significant number of bad reviews can suggest a problem with the management and operation which causes doubt in the eyes of the buyer and can lead to them walking away if they feel they don’t have the experience or confidence to turn it around.

PRICE THE BUSINESS CORRECTLY

While a clean, fresh appearance might well attract prospective buyers to view, the value of the business is based on the bigger picture. For example,

• How much profit does the cafe make?

• What are the assets worth?

• What is the cash flow?

Even the circumstances of the sale can affect the value. For example, A forced sale will probably drive down the value, as the current owner needs a quick sale, so will take an early offer.

One of the biggest challenges in selling the café business is deciding on the asking price. Most sellers will have their business professionally valued. Why? Because sometimes, when you’ve quite literally put blood, sweat and tears into the business, it can be

hard to put a price on it! Because the seller is emotionally involved, it can be hard to see the factors that could reduce the asking price. Or, the owner might put more value on a particular feature than a prospective buyer would.

A positive is that a café/restaurant has tangible assets – kitchen fittings and equipment, furniture, crockery, glasses, cutlery, and so on. That makes it easier to value, and attractive to a buyer, as they feel they are getting their money’s worth!

Business owners tend to advertise their businesses at a price that is higher than what it’s worth assuming this will lead to a higher offer. This is a MISTAKE which could end up costing you more than just your time.

Owners need to understand that the number of cafes in Victoria has grown exponentially over the last few years and has led to an increased supply of cafes selling on the market. This gives buyers a huge number of businesses to choose from and has created a market that is massively in favour of the buyers. The vast majority of buyers which we deal with on a daily basis would have looked at dozens of businesses by the time we get to show them yours, so pricing your business correctly is key to a having a successful sales campaign. Being a buyer’s market, they are less likely to waste their time negotiating with you and far more likely to just move onto another business with a more realistic price tag.

Advertising the business at an inflated price can be detrimental even after you decide to lower it as buyers can get sceptical once a business has been on the market for a long time (if it’s so good then why hasn’t someone bought it already).

KEEP PROPER RECORDS OF THE BUSINESS

In the good old days, selling a café

or restaurant was much easier and it wasn't uncommon for buyers to make an offer on a cafe business purely based off a 2-week trial. Unfortunately, these days are well and truly over.

Even though we can still sell businesses without adequate paperwork, you would be setting yourself up to get a selling price that is LOWER than equivalent businesses which can prove their profitability by providing documentation since buyers will always pay more for a business if they are confident in the numbers.

A potential buyer will want to see the financial records to establish the profitability of what they are buying. Be organised and ask your accountant to prepare the necessary documents, increasing your likelihood of selling the business at a higher price.

At the same time, banks are enforcing stricter lending criteria making loans more difficult to obtain. This means businesses that can show profitability on their tax returns and can be financed are worth more to buyers when compared with businesses where the owner has not declared the majority of their cash income (to avoid their GST commitments) and have a lot of personal expenses claimed against it which in turn makes it near impossible to get any sort of finance from the business.

KNOW YOUR LEASE AND YOUR LANDLORD

Reading the fine print in leases can put anyone to sleep, but it’s important you know where you stand legally. A large part of a café or restaurant’s goodwill is tied to their location and lease tenure. This means a business with a lease which allows the buyer sufficient time to make a return on his investment and resell the business to another buyer after himself will command a better sale price.

Most buyers prefer a lease with at least 5-7 years left, obviously the

longer the better.

Another factor often overlooked that can affect the sale price is how strict the landlord is when it comes to approving their next tenant (the buyer), a landlord who is open to accepting tenants with little to no experience means we can bring through more potential buyers and increase the likelihood of getting a better offer.

Depending on the relationship you have with the landlord, it may be worth talking to them about this before putting the business on the market as the last thing you want to happen is to think you have a

buyer, only for the landlord to turn him down during the final stages of the sales process.

ENGAGE A SPECIALISED BROKER

In light of everything mentioned above, choosing a specialised broker to sell your cafe and restaurant has become more important than ever and campaigns that just involve putting your ad up and hoping for the best without preparing for when the buyer actually comes to do their due diligence on the business is likely to be a waste of your

valuable time and result in the buyer walking away.

Having a specialised business broker which knows how to properly price & prepare your business for sale according to the demands of the market and guide the buyer through the entire sales process means you increase the chances of selling your business faster and also likely to get a higher offer.

SELLING YOUR BUSINESS: SHOULD YOU SELL PRIVATELY OR WITH A BUSINESS BROKER?

Ithink its important I premise this article with Bsale’s position. We are a business for sale marketpalce with the goal to generate leads for our clients. This includes business brokers and business owners. In order for Bsale to be a successful business for sale marketplace we have both clientele.

There are reasons people decide to sell a business privately vs with a business broker. I dont think it is a all one-way or the other.

SELLING PRIVATELY

When you sell a business privately you are basically selling your business without the assistance of an agent. This agent in Australia is typically a business broker, though may be a real estate agent.

In order to sell privately you must handle multiple steps in the process, such as:

• Prepare your business for sale

• Create an exit strategy - how you intend to sell, writing a business memorandum, training periods, negotiation process, settlement.

• Obtaining the necessary legal documents such as contract of sale and NDA.

• Understand the price you could sell your business for (get appraisals)

• Advertise your business for sale, whether its on business for sale websites like Bsale or other avenues such as approaching competitors, clients, employees etc.

As a writer and contributor on Bsale, she wants to bring informative articles that can assist people in the process of buying or selling a business.

• Negotiate with interested parties and undergo due diligence process.

BENEFITS

When you sell a business privately you are involved in the entire process. This can be a positive or negative depending on the business you are selling and how confident you are with the process. As the business owner you know the most about your business and have the ability to communicate directly with buyers without the involvement of a third party.

You get to see when the enquiries come through, respond in a timely manner and followup directly with the buyer. Creating a quick connection - business owner to potential business owner.

Save costs from paying excessive marketing fees and business broker commissions. if you are selling a business sub $300,000 it may be a good option so you can reap as much profits from the sale as possible.

CHALLENGES

Selling a business is not a quick exercise. There are risks involved and finding a buyer may take time.

You need to be committed to the process, be a good negotiator and know how to close the deal. A solicitor can assist you with the legals and negotiations process, but as the owner you need to be ready to walk the path. Getting the most exposure for your busienss

sale is very important.

Listing directly on all the major business for sale websites and applying upgrades will get you the best exposure and set you back less then $1,500.

SELLING WITH A BUSINESS BROKER

Business Brokers have a specilasied skillset. Even though they are registered as real estate agents in most states - they have a very different knowledge base.

Business Brokers can assist with:

• Preparing business for sale

• Establishing an asking price (appraisal)

• Marketing and writing a business memorandum

• Negotiations with buyers

• Guide you through the process

BENEFITS

They can be there through the whole process. Whether your 3 months into your sale or 10 months. They are there to assist you. Experienced business brokers will give you guidance and be excellent communicators through the entire process - connecting the dots between you, your solicitor, buyer, buyers solicitor, accountants etc to get the deal done.

CHALLENGES

Finding the right business broker. It can be a bit of a balancing

act, finding a broker who will work with you and your best interests. You dont want to go with a business broker who gives you bad advice, provides you a bad appraisal, gives false hopes, doesnt list on the major business for sale websites - or simply isn’t fully committed to the process.

The AIBB is the peak body for business brokers. It is a good idea to check if they are a member. As the business owner, you need to realise alot of the work also involves getting the business ready for sale - internal systems, increasing profits, tax implications. A business broker is not a magic wand - a business is a separate entity that needs to be well prepared.

SO WHICH IS THE BEST OPTION?

Like stated earlier, we are biased - we have both clientele. So I wont argue one or the other. If you ask a business broker - they will say a business broker. If you ask a business owner who sold privately or had issues with their business broker - they will say privately. So we stand neutral.

At the end of the day, when you are selling a business. You want to get good advice that can lead to a successful sale. So get advice! Dont just rely on one source, speak to accountants, solicitors, business brokers and make an informed decision that is good for your business.

6 STEPS TO INTENTIONAL PROFIT EVERY FOUNDER SHOULD FOLLOW

When I ask business owners about their goals, one of the biggest things they tell me is that they want to make more money and grow their wealth. But when I then ask how much time they spend working on this goal, by getting close to the numbers and being super intentional about their expenses and income – I’m often met with silence.

Here’s the thing: if you want to create big profits, you need to create a plan to strive towards future wealth.

For some business owners, spending time and attention on their books doesn’t come naturally. But if you want to truly master your money and unlock a whole new world of potential profits, you need to be intentional in your approach. Here’s the steps I take my clients through to get started on this journey:

STEP 1: RUN YOUR PROFIT AND LOSS REPORTS

Open your accounting program and run your profit and loss report month-by-month for the last year. By generating the report over a 12-month period, you can

get an understanding of your sales cycle and notice the slow periods, the busy periods and your actual profit.

Don’t forget to adjust for wages if appropriate. For instance: if your profit runs at $100,000 but you also paid yourself a wage of $150,000, then you actually made $250,000. Also, if you’re not sure how to do this, refer to your accounting software guide or ask your accountant for help.

STEP 2: REFLECT ON RESULTS

Are your numbers in line with what you thought they would be? Are you happy with your current profitability? Are there any surprises?

For some, looking at the cold, hard numbers can be confronting, especially if you discover your business isn’t performing as well as you thought. This was the case with one client, who was turning over $1m a year and thought she had a wildly successful business. When we ran these reports and took a closer look, we realised she was just breaking even – and she was able to pay herself

reports and realise you’re actually in really healthy shape.

Whatever these reports show you, the bottom line is you gain valuable access to information – which can empower decisive action in step 3.

STEP 3: UPDATE YOUR BUDGET

While your profit and loss has mapped out exactly what you earned and spent in the last 12 months, your budget sets out your

expenses for the year ahead. Refer to your spending and income in the past year to guide your plans for future spending, but keep in mind that it’s just a guide; just because you made $500,000 last year, doesn’t mean that’s the limit of what you could achieve this year.

STEP 4: SCHEDULE REGULAR PROFIT APPOINTMENTS

Set up some regular appointments with yourself to keep these habits up.

Schedule a profit and loss appointment with yourself at the same time every month, and diarise appointments every quarter to check in with your budget to ensure your income and expenses are lining up with your projections. If they’re not, adjust your budget and forecasts so your numbers are accurate.

STEP 5: IDENTIFY NEXT STEPS

Work out what goals you want to set and what actions you can take to build on your success from here.

One exercise I often suggest to my clients is to imagine the sky’s the limit when

it comes to setting goals. If anything, absolutely ANYTHING, were possible for you and your business… what would you aim for?

With a really big, bold goal in mind, you can work backwards and identify the “baby steps” to get closer to your dream result.

STEP 6: INTENTIONALLY INVEST IN YOUR OWN SUCCESS

Most people need to make some investments in your business to realise your dreams.

For instance, if you want to be the no.1 go-to provider of your service in your area and you want to consult with big brands and land six-figure deals, then you’re unlikely to attract those types of clients with a cheap/free website. You’ll need to intentionally invest in a bespoke brand campaign to give your business the professional look and feel you need, to attract the clients you want.

Not sure what you should invest in? Consider this: if you were handed $100,000 “no strings attached” and you had to invest it in your business, what would you spend it on? Write it out and allow yourself to get excited about the possibilities.

THE TOP 7 LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS WHEN YOU ARE PREPARING FOR THE SALE OF YOUR BUSINESS

When you decide to sell your business, you may be walking into a minefield of issues that you have not encountered before.

In this issue, we get down to the nitty gritty, and outline for you the remaining 6 top legal considerations to be aware of, as you prepare yourself for a sale:

1. GET READY FOR DUE DILIGENCE

As part of the sale process, a buyer will want to conduct due diligence of your business. This is when they will review the accounts, and investigate other areas of your business.

Being prepared for due diligence will make the process quicker and easier, and result in a higher likelihood of a smoother transaction.

I have known of many transactions that have fallen apart at this due diligence phase because the seller had not been prepared before hand – make sure that’s not you. Make sure you understand the financial and legal items that a prospective buyer will be looking for, so that you can show your business in the best sale-ready condition.

2. GET YOUR CONTRACTS IN ORDER, AND KEY CLIENTS AND SUPPLIERS LOCKED IN

Make sure the key relationships in your business are supported by solid written agreements that are up to date. This includes relationships with any key clients, key suppliers, your contractors etc.

Your contracts should also be specifically geared up for a sale, and contain clauses that assist you in an easy transition to a new owner.

I highly recommend that you make sure all of these contracts are reviewed and updated regularly to ensure that when the time comes for a sale, your sale price is not diluted as a consequence of a buyer taking a dim view of the protections you have in your contracts.

Joanna Oakey Managing Partner

Bear in mind that these contracts can often be pivotal in helping you to prove that your business has locked-in and transferable value.

3. GET YOUR PREMISES SECURE

Review your business leases and ensure that the lease does not expire during the time you are looking to sell the business. Be prepared to deal with an assignment of the lease to the buyers. Sometimes when sellers are in a hurry to sell, they forget that issues like the assignment of leases can take time.

If the premises are freehold, it may be worth considering if a sale and leaseback would be beneficial.

4. GET A GOOD A CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT READY TO GO

You should have a good quality confidentiality agreement ready to hand out to potential buyers before discussing any specifics about your business, and definitely before releasing any

financials, client details or company documents. This document should be on hand and ready to go.

5. ONCE YOU FIND A BUYER – CONSIDER CAREFULLY HOW YOU MIGHT WANT THE SALE TO BE STRUCTURED

Will the sale be structured as cash, shares, or cash and shares?

If cash, will this be a one off cash payment? Or upfront plus a deferred payment?

If you are taking part of the sale as a deferred payment, what are the conditions to the deferral – will this be an agreed amount, or will it be calculated by reference to the performance of the business after sale?

There are many important legal implications tied to each of these decisions. An upfront payment may be the most appealing option, but a buyer may often require that the deal is comprised of some deferred payment.

If part of your payment will be deferred (as is often the case) then it is very important to consider what steps you should be taking to secure those payments. Will the deferred payment be guaranteed? Will you be able to take some security over the purchaser, over the shares, or over the assets of the company?

If your payment is tied in part to an earn-out, you must ensure that you have worked through the details of the calculation of the earn-out payment very closely. This can often be an area of dispute – so it is very important that you work through these calculations

carefully. And while earn-outs may increase the final amount you receive, you have to bear in mind that you may not receive as much as you expect (or at worst, you may not receive anything at all).

6. AND FINALLY –KNOW YOUR PROPOSED TIMEFRAME – AND GET REALISTIC ABOUT IT

If you want to move quickly on a sale you need to make sure you have “all of your ducks in line”, so to speak. A sale can take a long time to negotiate, get the contract agreed, and do all of the steps required in transacting the sale – and sellers often badly misjudge how long the process will take. Make sure you get good solid advice from the start to help you build realistic timeframes around all of the key steps that are involved once you find a buyer.

Many of these items will need to be addressed a long time before you start down the path of gearing up for a sale. For example you may need to restructure the business to optimise it for sale – and if that is the case, this may need to be done years before a sale.

A large proportion of sellers that I meet have just not thought about these issues in the detail that they should have, and sometimes by the time I come along, its too late. The message is that there is a lot to do to prepare yourself for a sale, and it is never too early to start planning towards achieving a great outcome.

6 WAYS TO DEVELOP A SUCCESS MINDSET

Author: Hemi Hossain Digital Entrepreneur, Business Coach and Author

E: Hemi.hossain@growwithhemi.com.au growwithhemi.com

The greatest difference between the best and the rest is mindset. The way one thinks determines their entire life's path. The most successful people are those who don't focus on the negative or obstacles, but instead focus on their vision, their strategy, and their goal. Thinking about your future or about your past will only hinder you from focusing on the present moment.

Every day, no matter how much you may want to give up, there are going to be some things you can't control. The question is: Will you let that stop you or will you use it as motivation to achieve your goals?

A positive attitude makes all the difference. It can help you keep

going when things don’t go your way, stay motivated during tough times, and stay focused on what matters most in your life. When you have a growth mindset, you believe that your skills and abilities can be improved through learning, practice and effort. So how do you start?

Change those thoughts over time! Start by identifying the areas where your thinking makes you uncomfortable, such as thinking: "I'm too old to learn something new;" "I don't have enough patience for this;" or "I'm not good at anything," then look for ways to gradually alter these beliefs.

Your mindset is so important. The way you think about your life has a direct impact on how

you live it. If you want to be successful, you need to start with the right mindset towards success. Achieving goals isn't just about hard work or dedication - it's also about how you see yourself and what you expect from yourself. Here’s 6 ways to develop the right mindset to set you up for success:

1. ACCEPT CHALLENGES

You've probably heard the old saying, "the journey is more important than the destination." And it's true. The secret to success is all about taking on challenges and learning from them, whether they're big or small. By seeking out challenges, you'll put yourself on a path to learn more lessons, take more risks, and achieve greater rewards than you would on the safest route through life.

Success is hard work and requires a lot of dedication. The first step to success is to realise that the journey is more important than the destination. If you want to succeed, you must be willing to take on challenges. Accept that there will be setbacks along the way, but don't let them stop you from pursuing your goals. As long as you're open-minded and willing to learn from your mistakes, you can turn every challenge into an opportunity for growth.

2. SET BOTH LONG-TERM AND SHORT OBJECTIVES.

Start by setting both long-term

and short-term objectives. From there, break each one down into simple steps that you'll need to take in order to achieve your goal. This will help you build a wellorganised plan for the journey ahead. To help get you there, I've identified five steps that will help set your mindset for success. They are: Reflecting on the past, setting both long term and short term objectives, Nurturing your confidence, Making a habit of celebrating progress, Avoiding negative self-talk. Remember, maybe it's not possible for you to run a marathon right now but maybe being able to walk at least five miles each day would help!

3. EXPLORE NEW THINGS

It's easy to get stuck in a rut, so try new things! Just like you should seek out challenges, don't be afraid to try new things. You rarely know which new interest could develop into a lucrative new profession, for instance. You can allow yourself to grow by exposing yourself to new hobbies, people, experiences, and locations. You might feel like it's too much work at first but remember that it's all about the journey! Don't just sit around when there are so many other options out there.

4. ENHANCE YOUR PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL SKILLS

You must constantly learn and develop if you want to be truly

successful. Make an effort to acquire practical skills in both your personal and professional life. For some people, this can mean establishing a morning routine and rising earlier. Others might decide to enroll in courses, get tutoring, or read a lot of self-help literature in order to achieve their personal development objectives.

5. LEARN FROM FAILURES

You know that the ability to bounce back is a big part of what makes someone successful. Admit your failures and learn from them, that’s the way to get better at anything.

6. BE SURROUNDED BY THE BEST

Our mindsets are significantly influenced by our environment. We are social beings who are influenced by people around us, after all. Be in the company of smart people who can share their knowledge with you and inspire you to advance both personally and professionally.

The process of modifying your mindset is slow. Accept that it will take time for you to adopt a positive view on life. You'll be able to push yourself more frequently and understand the advantages of going above and beyond the minimum level if you have a growth mentality.

Think carefully about the mental adjustments you want to make. Once you've figured that out, continue by refining your abilities and saying "yes" to chances that push you to grow and challenge you. Encourage yourself along the way, and don't forget to regularly take ownership of your progress.

HAS YOUR LISTING GONE STALE?

HOW TO REVITALIZE YOUR BUSINESS FOR SALE LISTING

Is your business for sale and not getting as much traction as you hoped? There could be a few things affecting the exposure of your listing that are dropping the enquiry rate. While a price reduction is usually the quick go-to that may be recommended. There are other methods to ensure your listing is getting the best exposure. After all, you want to get the best price when you sell a business and that comes from getting multiple buyer enquiries.

INCREASE YOUR LISTINGS EXPOSURE

Listings that appear at the top of search results get the most exposure (it doesn't matter which business for sale website you are using - when you are at the top you get the most views). So look

at the upgrade options - it will be cheaper than dropping the asking price of your business!

This is especially important if your business has been on the market for a while. Most websites and marketplaces organise their listings based on featured > newest > updated > everything else. So if your business enquiries are going stale, it could be that you're now sitting on pages 2, 3, etc.

Get your listing back to page one with an upgrade! Whether selling with a business broker or privately - everyone has access to these features. Get back to the top asap!

REFRESH YOUR TITLE AND LEAD IMAGE

Buyers are constantly looking.

Vanessa is the current manager and CEO of Bsale Australia. Over the past 11 years as a business owner, she understands what it takes to grow a business. As a writer and contributor on Bsale, she wants to bring informative articles that can assist people in the process of buying or selling a business.

They don't come once and decide that is the business and buy it - we're not selling beach umbrellas here!

We are talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars and a big investment. A buyer will come back. You want to get their attention. If your listing is ‘lackluster’ or has been sitting on the marketplace for a while - it needs a refresh to grab attention.

Update your title and include some numbers! “Selling 30kg of Coffee a Week” “Established 30 years” “Turning $20,000 a Week” - Gone are the days of “Cafe for Sale” - Where is the love? Tell your business's story. If you want a buyer to be excited about your business - you need to showcase its best features.

This goes for the lead image as well. It should be horizontal and clear - why do people load pixelated images in this day and age? Get out your phone (or whoever has the latest model) and take some quality images. If you are after the silent touch - ask the Bsale team about stock imageswe have thousands!

TELL YOUR STORY IN A DIFFERENT WAY

The more eyes on your listing the potential increase in buyer enquiries.

Everyone loves a good business story. If you want to get traction for your business - you need to tell its story. Building a business and brand is hard work - it took emotional and mental input to get it where it is today.

Instead of trying to “sell” look at strategies to tell your story. Tell why your business is a great asset to be acquired.

Consider options to do a press release and place on social media or in an email marketing campaign. Get the socials involved in the process and you can connect with people differently. Bsale understands socials with 34,000+ Facebook followers. We have social options for you and press releases.

CONNECT WITH YOUR POTENTIAL BUYER

To sell a business you need to connect with buyers. Read your listing again - have someone else read it. Get your advisors to read it. What is it telling about your business? As a business owner we are sometimes too close to the business to see it from the outside. Yes, you are selling a business, but on the flip side, someone is also looking to buy.

You need to have this buyer in mind.

Are they an owner-operator,

investor, family, couple, professional, industryexperienced, local, or international?

Are they buying a job, buying an opportunity, buying for a business visa, expanding their current business, or relocating?

You need to have an idea of your buyer. Write your ad for your buyer - hello marketing 101 and avatars!

A business is a separate entity to you, when you sell, you are selling that entity. Your ad needs to be enticing - you need to sell the business. What can the buyer get from buying your business?

Use sub-headings - make it easier for the buyer. Have a clear contact process. Good communication. Make it easy for a buyer to see the value in your business. Why they should be considering your business.

A lazy ad, looks like a lazy business. That's not what buyers want.

KEEP AN EYE ON THE MARKET

The best way to see what is listed is to register for buyer alerts. See when a new business is listed similar to yours. It may just give you an idea of the best marketing approach!

THE FIVE KEY SKILLS OF ALL SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEURS

Author: Alan Manly UBSS Founder P. 1300 422 422 E. info@gca.edu.au www.ubss.edu.au

Once the decision is made to follow a certain career path there is one question to ask - what skills will be needed?

In the case of skills to be a successful entrepreneur perhaps the secret is that there is no secret. Skills can be innate or learnt, while the outcome may well be the same. So let's look at what having a skill is all about.

First, what exactly is a "skill"?

According to dictionary.com, a skill is "the ability, coming from one's knowledge, practice, aptitude, etc., to do something well." This definition includes several important elements that are crucial for any successful entrepreneur. However, entrepreneurship for many has insurmountable barriers and many folks may feel that they just don’t have the skills to ultimately succeed.

Let’s examine the five key skills that all successful entrepreneurs possess.

1. ABILITY

The power or capacity to do is a crucial element of success as an entrepreneur. Nike's famous slogan, "Just do it!", embodies this concept perfectly. Many aspiring entrepreneurs are held back by their own self-doubt and the perceived obstacles in their way, but successful entrepreneurs know how to overcome these

barriers and take action. Whether it's starting a new business, developing a new product, or launching a marketing campaign, successful entrepreneurs have the ability to bring their ideas to life.

2. ACQUAINTANCE WITH FACTS

Knowledge is power, and successful entrepreneurs know this better than anyone. They have a detailed knowledge of the industry and market they're entering and know their product or service in minute detail. This deep understanding of their business allows them to make informed decisions and avoid costly mistakes. The need to know what you are talking about is often what separates success from failure. The sooner a working knowledge of what the great new idea is about the less likely a poor investment will be made.

3. PRACTICE

Many would agree that being an entrepreneur requires a performance that is consistent with the image of someone others will have confidence in. Leaders are known to be habitual in the image that they present. Successful entrepreneurs are known for their strong work ethic and their ability to lead by example. Practice the right skills enough and you will become the entrepreneur you want to be.

4. APTITUDE

Many regard talent as a God-given gift. Maybe that’s true in some cases, but a lot of entrepreneurs acquired the aptitude for developing a new business from nothing by trial and error before ever receiving applause for having the talent required for success. The hard work of gaining the aptitude is often called other names.

5. DOING SOMETHING WELL

Perhaps the most important factor in success is not only to “just do it”, but rather to do something well. To be successful you will need to do whatever it is you intend to do, better than someone else. This could mean offering a superior product, providing better customer service, or having a more effective marketing strategy. Whatever the case may be, successful entrepreneurs know how to stand out from the crowd and make a lasting impression on their customers.

Ultimately, the skills of an entrepreneur may be innate or acquired through experience and hard work, but what matters most is the ability to put them into practice. Entrepreneurship is a challenging and competitive field, but with these skills and the right mindset, you’re giving yourself and your business the best chance of success.

Introducing The Exciting New Franchise Opportunity: STACKED

STACKED is a popular restaurant that is known for its freshly made sandwiches made with only the highest quality, locally and ethically sourced ingredients. The restaurant's unique menu and emphasis on local, fresh, and ethical ingredients set them apart from other sandwich shops. Due to its success in the industry, STACKED is now expanding. They are offering potential franchisees the opportunity to own and operate their own Sandwich Artisan location. This expansion into franchising allows STACKED to bring its delicious sandwiches to even more customers across the country.

The franchise opportunity with STACKED is a chance for entrepreneurs to own their own businesses while also joining a brand that is dedicated to using only the freshest and highest quality ingredients. The franchise model also allows for training and support to ensure the success of each franchise location.

STACKED's commitment to using locally and ethically sourced ingredients sets them apart from other sandwich shops and is a key selling point for customers. This commitment to quality is something that franchisees can also take pride in and incorporate into their own locations.

The founders of STACKED, Danny and Steven, brought their diverse backgrounds in hospitality, business, and equity to the table when they opened their first store in December 2020. Despite the challenges posed by the global pandemic, STACKED managed to open its doors and remained operational. The brand expanded quickly and opened its remaining six stores in 2021.

“At STACKED, we take great pride in our accomplishments over the past two years, we have successfully launched seven stores and continue to gain momentum with each passing day. Our focus remains on further expansion and building lasting partnerships with franchisees for an exciting journey

of growth in the future”. - Steven Khawaga and Danny Assagby.

At STACKED, the focus is on providing real food to customers and sourcing ingredients locally. By doing so, the brand has differentiated itself from its competitors and gained a reputation for providing high-quality food that customers can trust. The brand is also committed to ethical sourcing and has extensive knowledge about where its produce comes from.

STACKED has been successful in its mission to bring real food to customers and is now looking to expand further throughout Australia.

James Young, Head of franchise sales at DC Strategy comments, “Stacked fills a gap in the food and franchise space adding fantastic systems, marketing and operational support to a product hugely popular with customers. With 7 sites operational in NSW, this is a fantastic chance for passionate partners to jump on board and grow with the brand.”

Overall, the expansion into franchising is a great opportunity for STACKED to grow its brand and reach even more customers across the country, while also providing a unique business opportunity for potential franchisees. If you're passionate about high-quality food and are interested in owning your own business, a STACKED franchise may be the perfect opportunity for you.
