BUYING A BUSINESS FOR BEGINNERS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Author: Justin Reisinger Business Broker

M.

So, you want to buy a business with no previous experience. You are probably looking up “how to buy a business” and presented with a 7-page checklist of the dos and don’ts by an experienced buyer that usually start with; Step 1: Buy a business.

But as a beginner, the rules are different. The battlefield is unknown, and your enemies are yet to be discovered. You are wondering how does someone who is new to the industry simply “buy a business “? how do they become “business ready “without ever owning a business? As a business broker with years of experience dealing with your every day buyer to someone just dipping their toes in the market; I offer a tailored service and can offer the knowledge you need to buy the right business.

Buying a business can be an exciting and rewarding venture with plenty of growth and excitement, but it is essential to be well-informed before diving in. In my years as a business broker, I have made it clear to all my new buyers of several key factors to consider when purchasing a business to ensure a successful transition and future growth.

Firstly, it is crucial to thoroughly research the industry and market in which the business operates. Understanding the competitive landscape, customer demographics, and market trends will provide you with valuable insights into the potential for growth and sustainability.

In the process of becoming “business ready”, you first need to understand the business by

analysing market data to draw conclusions on where is best to enter the industry with the highest chance to capitalise. Once a business has been identified, it will prove valuable to also conduct research in the local area and how the geographical location will work as an advantage to your venture.

Additionally, conducting a comprehensive evaluation of the business's financial health is essential. This includes reviewing past financial statements, assessing cash flow projections, and understanding any existing liabilities or debts. Understanding businesses financials allows you to see the businesses placement in the current market and draw justified conclusions on the trajectory of the business once new ownership takes over. Does it show an increasing or decreasing trend in income? Is their substantial profit? These questions will guide you in making the right decision on what business to purchase.

Furthermore, it is important to consider the existing infrastructure and operations of the business. Evaluating the quality and quantity of assets, inventory management systems,

and employee capabilities will help determine the potential for operational efficiency and growth. The businesses internal infrastructure will highlight key operational responsibility that a new owner will need to undertake once appointed, as well as provide a new entrepreneur an operational template to build from.

Lastly, navigating the business world can feel a lot like swimming in the vast ocean with no sense of direction. Get in touch early with a team of professionals who will throw you a life jacket (and a business!). You cannot ignore the professional guidance from lawyers, accountants, and business advisors throughout the buying process. These experts will provide valuable and tailored expertise and ensure that all legal and financial aspects are thoroughly reviewed and understood. By contacting a business broker, you will receive a helping hand from those in the industry with years of experience and in-depth knowledge of the current market. A broker has the advantage of presenting these important business elements including market data, operational

processes, and up-to-date financials to you in a carefully crafted Information memorandum whilst also acting as a middle person between you and the buyer. So, for the question “how does one buy a business?” You first reach out to a broker whose responsibility is to mediate between potential buyers and the seller any interested offers and contracts/ terms.

By taking the time to research, evaluate, and seek expert advice, you will position yourself for success when buying a business. With careful planning and due diligence, you can embark on a new entrepreneurial journey with confidence and optimism, head held high on the battle grounds with valuable knowledge at your disposal; But remember, buying a business is only the beginning of your journey in entrepreneurship, so make sure your starting right by reaching out to a broker that cares about your business’s future by following my guide to buying a business for a beginner, and that all starts with: Step 1: Contact me.

IS IT WORTH BUYING A BUSINESS UNDER $100,000?

Purchasing a business is a significant decision, especially when considering options under the $100,000 mark. It’s similar to stepping into a new culinary adventure; it’s thrilling, but the outcome depends heavily on your personal preferences, experience and knowledge you bring to the table, and the specifics of the deal.

WHEN MIGHT BUYING A BUSINESS FOR $100K OR LESS NOT BE APPEALING?

Let’s be upfront: a business valued at less than $100,000 might not always promise the financial windfall you are hoping for. Generally, the income from such an investment might not significantly exceed what one could earn in a full-time job, especially with the current average salary in Australia at about $90,000. Given the valuation multiples prevalent in various industries, your net earnings from such-business could range from a modest $50,000 (or less) to an optimistic $120,000, depending on the industry, risk factors, owner involvement, establishment etc. The earning figure while may or may not be appealing, come with the responsibilities and headaches of business ownership, income instability, economy fluctuations, competition, and the initial financial investment, whether from your savings or a loan.

YET, THERE ARE TIMES WHEN WE RECOMMEND AN UNDER $100K BUSINESS TO A SPECIFIC BUYER:

1. Business Improvement: You Are experienced or have a deep understanding/knowledge of a particular industry and find a business with untapped growth potential (due to current owner’s inability or situation), if you are confident that you can turn it to a higher level of success and profit, then it might be a golden opportunity for you! With your vision, planning, and strategy, you can take the business to new heights, and potentially securing a satisfying return on your investment.

2. Strategic Acquisition: For existing business owners, acquiring a complementary small business can be a smart expansion strategy. It can offer a seamless way to widen your market presence, inherit an established customer base, and boost your brand’s footprint, often more efficiently than starting from scratch.

3. Vendor’s Urgency: Life’s unpredictable coincidences sometimes force business owners to look for an urgent sale (i.e. health, separation, moving overseas etc.) and to achieve a quick sale they usually need to compromise on price. When such unique opportunities arise they become lucrative deals for the wise buyers, provided the urgency is genuine.

4. Personal Circumstances: Special needs, such as visa requirements or budget constraints, might steer a buyer towards this price range. Even so, it’s possible to find opportunities that not only meet

their criteria but also promise some level of profitability.

5. A Personal Decision: Besides the points mentioned, there are surely other reasons why someone might choose to invest in a small business instead of working a regular job. For instance, some people don’t like the idea of working for someone else and be overseen all the time. So, they decide to use their savings or take out a loan to buy a small, already up-and-running business. They might end up making about the same amount of money as they would in a job, but the big win for them is being their own boss. This is also a fair and respectable reason to take the leap into business ownership.

In conclusion, the journey towards business ownership, especially within the under $100,000 bracket, is filled with considerations both practical and personal. It requires a careful assessment of your objectives, industry insights, and the specific opportunities and challenges of the business in question. While not every small business investment will lead to financial riches, the right opportunity can offer a fulfilling path to professional independence and personal growth. The key is to approach this decision with open eyes, a clear mind, and a readiness to navigate the complexity of business ownership.

EXPLORING VENDOR FINANCE: PROS AND CONS FOR SELLING YOUR BUSINESS

Selling a business is a significant decision, one that often comes with various financial considerations. While most business owners traditionally opt for an outright sale, there's an alternative option called vendor finance. Vendor finance involves the business owner acting as the lender and financing a portion of the purchase price for the buyer. Like any financial arrangement, vendor finance has its advantages and disadvantages, and understanding these can help you decide if it's the right option for selling your business.

ADVANTAGES OF VENDOR FINANCE:

Increased Marketability: Offering vendor finance can make your business more attractive to potential buyers who might not qualify for traditional bank loans. This expanded pool of prospective buyers can help you find the right person to take over your business more quickly.

Higher Sale Price: You can potentially command a higher sale price for your business by providing financing. Buyers are often willing to pay a premium for the convenience and flexibility of seller financing.

Steady Income Stream: Vendor finance allows you to generate a steady stream of income from interest payments made by the

buyer. This income can provide financial security and supplement your post sale funds.

Faster Closing: Vendor financing can streamline the sale process, as it typically involves less paperwork and bureaucracy than traditional bank financing. This can lead to a quicker closing, reducing the time and stress associated with selling your business.

DISADVANTAGES OF VENDOR FINANCE:

Default Risk: Perhaps the most significant drawback of vendor finance is the risk of the buyer defaulting on payments. If the buyer fails to make payments as agreed, you may need to reclaim the business, which can be a complicated and costly process.

Tied-Up Capital: By financing the sale yourself, you tie up a portion of your capital in the business. This capital could potentially be invested elsewhere for better returns or used for other financial goals.

Interest Rate Risk: If you offer a fixed interest rate, you could potentially lose out on higher returns if market interest rates rise during the financing period. On the other hand, if you offer a variable interest rate, you may face uncertainty regarding your future income.

Author: Kagan Skipper Managing Director, Business Broker, Business Consultant

Lack of Control: Even though you may no longer be actively involved in the business, you retain a vested interest as the lender. This means you may have limited control over the direction and management of the business, depending on the terms of the financing agreement.

Complexity: Structuring a vendor finance deal can be complex and may require legal and financial expertise. Ensuring the terms of the agreement are fair and legally sound is crucial to avoiding future disputes.

The decision to use vendor finance should be made carefully, considering your financial goals, risk tolerance, and the qualifications of potential buyers. Consulting with legal and financial professionals is essential to ensure that the agreement is structured to your advantage and complies with all relevant laws and regulations. Ultimately, the choice between vendor finance and a traditional sale depends on your unique circumstances and objectives as a business owner.

SMALL BUSINESS, BIG DREAMS: THE JOYS OF BUYING A BUSINESS UNDER $100,000 IN AUSTRALIA

In Australia, the prospect of owning a business is an enticing opportunity that many individuals aspire to undertake. While the idea of purchasing a business may seem daunting, particularly for those with limited capital, investing in a business under $100,000 presents a unique opportunity.

Firstly, acquiring a business within this price range offers a relatively low barrier to entry, making entrepreneurship more accessible to a broader demographic. For aspiring business owners with modest savings or seeking an alternative to traditional employment, purchasing a business under $100,000 can be a viable pathway to financial independence and professional fulfillment.

Moreover, owning a business provides individuals with a platform to exercise their creativity and passion. Whether it's a café, boutique, consultancy, or service-oriented business, small business ownership offers a canvas for individuals to express their unique vision and contribute to their communities. This creative autonomy fosters a sense of ownership and pride, motivating owners to invest their time and energy into nurturing their business ventures.

Additionally, buying a business

under $100,000 can yield significant returns on investment. While the initial capital outlay may be modest compared to larger acquisitions, strategic management, and diligent execution can lead to sustainable growth and profitability. With careful planning and effective marketing strategies, small businesses have the potential to thrive and generate substantial revenue streams, ultimately providing a lucrative return on investment for savvy entrepreneurs.

Owning a business grants individuals greater control over their financial future. Unlike traditional employment where one's income is dictated by an employer, business ownership empowers individuals to determine their earning potential and financial trajectory. By leveraging their skills, expertise, and market opportunities, business owners can build wealth and achieve long-term prosperity.

Businesses under $100,000 enables entrepreneurs to enter niche markets and explore untapped opportunities. In Australia's diverse and dynamic business landscape, there are countless niche markets and underserved segments waiting to be discovered. By identifying niche markets and catering to specific consumer needs, small

business owners can carve out a competitive advantage and differentiate themselves from larger competitors.

From low barriers to entry and creative autonomy to potential profitability and financial independence, owning a small business presents a rewarding and fulfilling journey for those willing to embark on the path of entrepreneurship. With the right mindset, dedication, and strategic planning, small business ownership can be a worthwhile investment that yields both personal and financial rewards in the vibrant Australian market.

For those considering taking the leap into small business ownership, exploring the myriad of opportunities available is crucial. Whether you're passionate about hospitality, retail, or service-based industries, the journey begins with finding the right business fit for your goals and aspirations.

DON'T SKIMP ON DUE DILIGENCE - IT COULD COST YOU THOUSANDS!

Author:

Richard Jacobs Business Broker

In the dynamic world of business acquisitions, distinguishing between a lucrative investment opportunity and a potential money pit is essential for success.

In this article, I will outline key strategies to help prospective buyers discern a good business acquisition from a money waster.

If you learn nothing more from this article then please remember this phrase, “Due Diligence, Due Diligence, Due Diligence”

Conducting comprehensive due diligence is paramount and involves you and your hired experts doing a meticulous examination of the business ensuring that all aspects are thoroughly vetted before committing to the acquisition.

Seek guidance from your Solicitor, Accountant and Business Broker, as their expertise and insights can help identify potential risks, negotiate favourable terms, and navigate complex legal and financial issues.

DURING DUE DILIGENCE YOU WILL WANT TO:

1. Do Industry Analysis: Gain a deep understanding of the industry in which the business operates, assess the market dynamics, competitive landscape, regulatory environment, and growth potential, this will provide you with valuable insights into the business's historical, current,

and future positioning within the industry and its prospects.

2. Evaluate the business's financial health: Analyse key financial metrics such as revenue growth, profitability, cash flow, and debt levels. A financially sound business with sustainable growth prospects is more likely to be a good acquisition candidate.

3. Assessing composition/ loyalty of the business's customer base: A diversified customer portfolio with strong retention rates indicates stability and growth potential. Conversely, heavy reliance on a few customers could poses a significant risk to the business.

4. Evaluate the quality and value of the business's assets. Include both Tangible Assets such as equipment and inventory, and Intangible Assets such as intellectual property (copyright, patents etc) and brand reputation. High-quality assets contribute to the business's long-term value and competitiveness. Lenders will also be attracted

by a strong Tangible Asset base.

5. Assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the business's operations. Do the existing operations work well? Or are there opportunities to streamline processes, reduce costs and improve productivity. Operational excellence enhances profitability and scalability.

6. Evaluate the competency and experience of the leadership team. The legacy of strong leadership who had a clear vision and effective execution capabilities sets up the culture for success and will make it a lot easier for a buyer to continue to drive growth and navigate new challenges.

7. Compatibility of culture fit: Cultural fit between the buyer and the business is very important, the values, work culture, and strategic direction need to be aligned and will foster smooth integration and enhances the chances of postacquisition success.

8. Ensure Legal and Regulatory Compliance: Does the business comply with all relevant laws, regulations, and industry standards? It’s important to identify any potential legal or regulatory risks that could pose liabilities or hinder business operations.

9. Review the scalability of the business model: Are there existing or future opportunities to expand into new markets, diversify product offerings, or replicate success in other geographic regions? A scalable business model has the potential for sustained growth and increased profitability.

10. Research customer reviews, testimonials: This helps to establish in your own mind the real reputation of the

business. Ratings that gauge customer satisfaction and perception of the business can be a valuable tool to establish if the business has a positive reputation and strong brand image which contributes to its customer loyalty, repeat business and its market credibility.

11. Evaluate the resilience and reliability of the business's supply chain: We only need to look back at the recent Covid pandemic to know the more resilient the supply chain is the better chance of riding the storms when a supply chain disruption occurs. Hence it is vital to assess the stability of key suppliers, potential risks of disruptions, and have contingency plans in place to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities.

12. Assess the target business's technological capabilities: A willingness to embrace current and innovative technology can say a lot about a business. Look for investments in cutting-edge technologies, digital transformation initiatives, and adaptability to changing market trends as technological innovation is a huge contributor to driving competitiveness and futureproofing.

13. Analyse the business's market positioning and competitive advantage: Understand the business’s unique selling propositions, pricing strategy, branding, and market differentiation. The depth of understanding and ability to articulate these well to all stakeholders often will define the business’s strong market position and will enhance its attractiveness and sustainability.

14. Evaluate the costeffectiveness of customer acquisition: Review the channels and marketing

strategies of the business. Analyse customer acquisition costs relative to customer lifetime value to ensure sustainable profitability and return on investment. Measure everything.

15. Develop a clear exit strategy before finalizing the acquisition: Buyers often think only about their acquisition strategy and forget their longer-term exit strategy.

Hence from the outset you need to look beyond shortterm gains and focus on the strategic alignment, growth potential, and value creation opportunities that align with your long-term objectives and vision. You need to consider factors such as potential exit options, timing, valuation expectations, and strategic objectives.

16. Develop a risk mitigation strategic plan: Once you have identified all potential risks associated with the acquisition, including market risks, operational risks, financial risks, and legal risks, it’s vitally important you then develop a risk mitigation strategic plan and contingency plans to proactively address potential challenges. Consider those that may be insurmountable and hence make the business acquisition unviable.

These strategies can effectively distinguish a good business acquisition opportunity from a money waster. Diligence, analysis, and strategic foresight are key to making informed decisions and achieving successful outcomes in the competitive landscape of business acquisitions.

RAY WHITE

Brett Buckley

Ray White - Business Broker

His varied and exciting career experiences have equipped Brett Buckley of Ray White Business Sales with the knowledge and skills needed to be an outstanding business broker. From leading and managing large private, listed and local government organisations across seven industries in addition to owning two small to medium enterprises, Brett’s business experience is evident. With a strong history of applying this experience in mergers and acquisitions, Brett has the skills to successfully transition businesses to new owners. “I’ve been a vendor, and I’ve been a purchaser. So I have absolute empathy and understanding for what vendors and purchasers go through, particularly the emotional rollercoaster involved in transacting a business,” commented Brett.

He has also gained formal educational qualifications in management, marketing, property and project management, and (of course) business broking.

AIBB has recognised his ability to apply his knowledge and skills with the SA Business Broker of the Year award for 2020, 2021, and 2022. In 2023, he received the award for the highest dollar value of business sales in Australia.

DO YOU HAVE A PREFERENCE FOR WORKING WITH PURCHASERS OR VENDORS?

“Early in my career, I worked as an acquisitions specialist, and when I became a consultant, most of my consulting work was around acquisitions because that’s what everybody knew me for,” explained Brett. “I also became a buyer’s advocate for a couple of corporates that work in the dental field and we still do some buyer’s advocate work but only for medium or larger SMEs.”

Brett started his business broking career initially on his own before

joining another business broking firm. Despite his history as an acquisitions specialist, Brett realised he enjoyed working with vendors.

Brett continued, “I actually prefer working for a vendor. Quite often, when you're transacting a business for a vendor, you’re dealing with vendors who are probably reaching the end of their working career, and this sale will form part of their retirement.

So there’s great satisfaction in knowing you’ve assisted them to enhance their retirement.”

AND NOW YOU’RE WITH RAY WHITE

“Yes, I was approached by the SA/

NT CEO and have been with Ray White since December 2017. We have gone through a massive rebranding exercise,” said Brett.

He explained that the “Ray White” brand is synonymous with residential property for most Australians.

“But we’ve grown the commercial business (commercial property and businesses) large enough to warrant a separate brand now. The idea is to make it easier for the marketplace to identify the difference between residential and commercial. So we’re now RWC, which is Ray White Commercial,” Brett continued.

Although the rebrand will

enable efficient marketing of the commercial side of the business, the restructure encourages specialisation, which Brett sees as the most valuable benefit.

“Within Ray White Commercial, some of the sales team focus on commercial property, but I operate as RWC Business Sales (my company) and as RWC Practice Sales specialising in medical and veterinary practices,” explained Brett.

“We don’t sell property of any type unless it’s part of a business we are selling,” Brett elaborated. “So now we’ve got people who are specialists dealing with each area. It also means that whatever you are selling, we can help.”

As Ray White is a national (and international) brand, RWC Practice Sales is already a national presence, and RWC Business Sales is on the same path with plans to expand both businesses internationally in the pipeline.

And Brett also plans to utilise his M&A pedigree to build that service into RWC Business Sales. “Traditionally, the big four accounting firms have only been interested in the large, highprofile transactions. I see a hole in the market in the mid-size range for a specialist, formal M&A service instead of a simple buy/ sell transaction. We have the skill sets and people with the business acumen to achieve that,” Brett commented.

CURRENTLY, WHAT BUSINESSES ARE DIFFICULT TO SELL?

Brett’s response was encouraging for business owners - “they’re not more difficult or less difficult than any other business. There’s always somebody who’s interested in that market.

What you’ve got to do is be smart enough with your marketing to be able to engage those people without spending too much of the vendor’s money.”

As part of the initial appraisal process, Brett and his team always ask, “Would we buy this business?” before listing. Brett is convinced that there are no bad industries, but there are poor businesses within any industry. We sell all sorts of business. I've even sold a memorial business - a tombstone business!

We’ve sold electronics businesses, engineering businesses, recycling businesses, and so on. As long as they’re a good business, there’s always a market for them,” Brett continued. The appraisal process is critical to the whole sales process, and Brett emphasised that it’s not a one size fits all situation. “You can’t automatically

say profit times a multiple equals value. Each business will have some unique characteristics that feed into the valuation process.”

“That particularly applies to RWC Practice Sales, where we deal with medical practices. With dental, for example, it’s not just the number of patients on the books. You have to consider the opportunities for extra services in addition to the regular checkups. You need to analyse the item numbers of the services provided and what each of those is worth to the practice. You need a higher level of expertise,” Brett explained.

“For any business, the value of referral sources may be

significant. You can’t ignore these types of factors if you are doing the right thing for your vendor,” said Brett.

AND, WHAT IS YOUR SALES PROCESS?

Brett is convinced that the relationship between broker and client is critical to a successful outcome, so the initial meeting focuses on ensuring both parties can effectively work together.

Once the relationship is established, Brett prepares an appraisal. “We normalise the financial statements to adjust for items unique to the vendor. We review market information for similar sales and the features of

this particular business, including competition and history. We also include our marketing plan for the business and our estimates of the costs,” Brett explained. “We list 98% and sell about 96% of the businesses we appraise and sell them at the listed price because of how our appraisals are conducted.”

With the vendor’s approval, the business is listed and the marketing plan is implemented as specified in the appraisal. As well as responses to the general marketing, Brett has access to the Ray White database of potential purchasers. “I can search the database using parameters such as budget, industry, location, etc

to identify possible leads,” he noted.

All the preliminary work completed during the appraisal pays dividends when an interested purchaser is found. “Now, it’s not the purchaser we’ve got to convince because we’ve already convinced them, the person we’ve got to be able to look in the eye and give good solid answers to, is their accountant,” Brett stated. “Their accountant is tasked with making sure that they’re making a good investment. And, because I complete a thorough initial appraisal, I’m going to have most of the answers for them.”

“In the end, vendors are choosy about where their business goes,” Brett observed. “In most cases, they want their employees taken care of, the business to keep growing, and their suppliers and clients taken care of. If the vendor isn’t quite sure about that fit, it won’t transact.”

But that doesn’t happen very often. “Because we get to know the vendor well to start with, and we know what they’re looking for in a purchaser, we usually avoid those situations,” Brett commented.

IN CONCLUSION

Brett’s meticulous approach to the appraisal process, tailored to each business’s unique characteristics, showcases his commitment to achieving successful outcomes. The emphasis on relationshipbuilding and thorough preparations underscores the importance of trust in a successful broker-client relationship.

He is looking forward to building the business broking business within the Ray White ecosystem and utilising his M&A expertise to meet the needs of mid-sized SMEs everywhere.

In the dynamic landscape of business sales, preparing your business for sale is not just a step towards changing ownership; it’s a strategic move to ensure you maximise your exit value to provide you with funds for retirement or your next venture. As a seasoned business broker with MMJ in the Illawarra region, I’ve witnessed firsthand how critical preparation is to achieve a successful and profitable business sale. This article will delve into three key areas that every business owner must address to ensure their business is primed for a premium sale price, illustrated with appropriate case studies.

1. FINANCIAL TRANSPARENCY AND READINESS

The cornerstone of any business

sale is the strength and clarity of its financials. Post-Covid, we’ve seen a significant shift in the scrutiny level from buyers, their accountants, and lenders regarding current financial performance. It’s imperative that business sellers ensure their financial records are up-to-date and all unusual variations are fully explained. Your accountant should be in the loop about your intent to sell, ready to respond promptly to queries about profit & loss statements, cash flow, and asset registers.

Case Study: Food Manufacturing Business

A successful manufacturing business in Illawarra, with revenue close to $5 million p.a., faced a delay in a major project, severely impacting its revenue

and profit for the final quarter of the financial year. Despite keen interest from potential buyers, the seller’s accountant’s delayed response (three weeks) to provide detailed explanations and an accurate asset register led to buyers diverting their attention to other opportunities. This case underscores the importance of financial preparedness and the potential consequences of delays in information provision.

2. LEASE SECURITY AND DURATION

The term and security of your business’s lease can significantly influence its saleability and the price a buyer is willing to pay. Buyers typically seek a minimum of five years on a lease to ensure an adequate return on their investment. For businesses in locations critical due to council approvals, such as childcare centres or commercial laundries, the expectation can be as high as 20 years of lease options. Relying on personal relationships

with landlords and operating on a month-to-month lease can be risky and potentially devalue your business.

Case Study: Waste Disposal Business

A waste disposal business, operating on a month-to-month lease for a number of years, found a perfect buyer after being brought to market. However, the deal hit a snag when the buyer’s request for a 5-year lease was met with disinterest from the landlord. The sale proceeded but at a substantial discount, highlighting the critical nature of lease security in the valuation of a business.

3. REDUCING OWNER DEPENDENCE

A business overly dependent on its current owner is a significant red flag for buyers. The ideal scenario is a business running under management, but strategies such as outsourcing, delegating, promoting existing employees, and hiring to fill the owner’s roles can also enhance appeal to a broader spectrum of buyers, potentially increasing the sale price.

Case Study: Engineering Business

An engineering firm initially with an appraised fair market price under $1 million struggled to attract buyers due to the owner’s heavy involvement (60+ hours a week) and the absence of a backup manager. By stepping

back, promoting a younger employee to manager, and hiring a replacement, the owner successfully transitioned to a parttime role. The business could then relist a considerably higher price, attracting multiple inquiries and selling close to the asking price in less than three months.

SUMMARY

Engaging with a knowledgeable business broker, like those in the MMJ Business Sales team, is crucial in navigating the complexities of preparing your business for sale. Starting with an appraisal to determine your business’s current market value is a wise first step. Addressing financial readiness, ensuring lease security, and reducing owner dependence are pivotal strategies to enhance your business’s appeal and maximise your exit value.

The journey to a successful business sale is paved with detailed preparation and strategic positioning. By focusing on these key areas, you can significantly improve your chances of a profitable and timely sale, ensuring that your hard work and dedication translate into the exit value you deserve.

THE DANCE OF BUSINESS SALES

The absence of the business broker, serving as the principal of the ballet, gracefully performing on stage and orchestrating the optimal performance of the other dancers, would inevitably lead to the failure of the intricate dance of business sales.

In the enchanting ballroom of commerce, a captivating dance unfolds, bringing together an array of participants eager to take part in the graceful exchange of business transactions. Central to this mesmerizing performance is the virtuoso business broker, whose expertise and finesse make them the principal dancer in this intricate ballet.

Within this intricate dance, the buyer assumes their role as the suitor, seeking the perfect opportunity to add to their portfolio or embark on a new entrepreneurial journey. Driven by astute visions and strategic acumen, these discerning individuals or entities scour the market, their perceptive gaze identifying the hidden gems and potential synergies that lie within the realm of possibility. Through their discerning steps, they envision a future brimming with growth and prosperity.

On the other side of the dance

floor, we find the seller, the graceful guardian of a wellestablished business or a promising start-up. These stalwart custodians aim to maximize returns on their investment while ensuring the longevity of their entrepreneurial accomplishments. With meticulous care, sellers undertake a deliberate and thoughtful process, meticulously evaluating potential suitors to ensure the preservation and continued success of their brainchild.

In this entrancing choreography, the business broker emerges as the maestro, skilfully directing themovements of the buyer and seller. Equipped with a vast repertoire of knowledge and experience, these brokers serve as trusted advisors and powerful intermediaries, harmonizing the needs and aspirations of both parties involved. With deft skill and an astute understanding of the market, industry trends, and valuation techniques, these brokers gracefully guide buyers and sellers through each delicate step of the dance, ensuring a symphony of success.

Beyond the role of artistic conductor, the business broker assumes the mantle of sage counsellor, offering valuable insights into the intricacies of

due diligence, financial analysis, and legal negotiations. Through their expertise, brokers create an atmosphere of transparency and trust, enabling both buyers and sellers to execute their moves with confidence. They navigate the ever-changing tempo of negotiation, mediating and facilitating solutions that satisfy the aspirations and requirements of all parties involved.

Indeed, the beauty of this intricate dance lies in the harmonious collaboration between buyers, sellers, and business brokers. Each participant plays a vital role, their distinct steps blending seamlessly to create a masterpiece of business transaction. As the rhythm intensifies and the crescendo approaches, dreams are transformed into reality, legacies are preserved, and new chapters are written in the grand tapestry of commerce.

Let us revel in the partnership between buyers, sellers, and business brokers, for it is through their collective effort, skill, and dedication that the world of business continues to flourish and evolve. As the dance continues, with its twists and turns, let us celebrate the artistry, vision, and passion that contribute to the symphony of success in the realm of business transactions.

AVOID THESE 6 COMMON MISTAKES MADE BY BUYERS.

Purchasing a business can be rewarding, but it also comes with many challenges and risks. In Australia, entrepreneurs and prospective buyers can make many mistakes when acquiring an existing business. These errors can be costly and have long-term consequences. Let’s explore some of the most prevalent mistakes buyers make when purchasing a business and provide insights on how to avoid them and invest in a thriving business.

1. INADEQUATE DUE DILIGENCE

One of the most critical steps in buying a business is to conduct a thorough due diligence. Due diligence involves scrutinising the financial, operational, and legal aspects of the business you intend to purchase. It also involves considering the business’s brand and reputation within its sector. Unfortunately, many buyers, eager to close the deal quickly, skip or rush through this essential step.

At Advantage Business Sales & Valuations we help our buyers ensuring all the information they need is included in a comprehensive Information Memorandum –business information is presented professionally, comprehensively

and in a timely manner, meaning the financial results and other important recent information is current and updated.

To avoid this common mistake, take your time to examine the following:

• financial statements;

• tax records;

• leases;

• contracts; and

• employee agreements.

Obtain professional advice to help you navigate complex financial and legal documents. Pay attention to any red flags, such as inconsistent financial data, expiring leases or pending legal claims, as they may signal underlying issues.

2. IGNORING INDUSTRY KNOWLEDGE

Buying a business in an industry you know little about can be a recipe for disaster. A lack of industry knowledge can lead to:

• poor decision-making;

• difficulty understanding market trends; and

• challenges in managing the business effectively.

To mitigate this risk, consider

purchasing a company in an industry that you are familiar with. If you are unfamiliar with the industry, ensure you invest time learning about it before purchasing a business. You can gain this knowledge by:

• attending industry-specific events;

• joining relevant online forums; and

• networking with experienced professionals to gain valuable insights.

3. UNDERESTIMATING WORKING CAPITAL NEEDS

Many buyers focus solely on the purchase price and forget to consider working capital requirements. This business mistake has caught out many large and small aspiring business owners.

Working capital is essential to cover day-to-day operational expenses, such as salaries, inventory, and overhead costs. Failing to ensure the business has adequate working capital can lead to cash flow problems shortly after the acquisition.

thorough legal review and ensure the business fully complies with:

• employment laws;

• environmental laws;

• tax laws; and

• industry-specific regulations.

Many prospective business owners obtain expert legal advice to address any potential compliance or legal issues.

5. OVERPAYING FOR THE BUSINESS

Determining the fair market value of a business is a complex process that requires a careful analysis of various factors, including:

• financial performance;

• industry trends; and

• market conditions.

To avoid this mistake, assess the business’s working capital needs thoroughly. Consider negotiating with the seller to ensure sufficient capital is available as part of the deal or secure financing to cover these costs.

4. DISREGARDING LEGAL AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Australia has a complex regulatory environment, and failing to comply with legal requirements can lead to fines, legal battles, and business disruptions. Some buyers make the mistake of assuming that their acquired business fully complies with all relevant laws and regulations.

To prevent such mistakes, conduct a

Overpaying for a business is a common mistake that can lead to financial strain and reduced profitability.

When appraising the value of a business, at Advantage Business Sales & Valuations we use accepted principles – commonly accepted by accountants and banks.

To prevent overpayment, conduct a thorough review of the business with the help of a professional advisor. Consider seeking multiple opinions to ensure the purchase price aligns with the business’s true value.

6. NEGLECTING CUSTOMER AND SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIPS

Maintaining strong relationships with customers and suppliers is crucial for business continuity.

Unfortunately, some buyers neglect these relationships, to their detriment, assuming that customers and suppliers will remain loyal after the acquisition.

To avoid this risk, engage with key customers and suppliers early in the process. Assure them of your commitment to maintaining quality service and reliable products. Develop a transition plan to minimise disruptions and keep these relationships intact.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Purchasing a business can be lucrative if done correctly, but it is riddled with potential pitfalls. Avoiding common mistakes like inadequate due diligence, industry ignorance, and neglecting customer and supplier relationships is essential for a successful acquisition.

By carefully navigating the acquisition process, you can maximise your chances of turning a purchased business into a thriving and profitable venture. Remember that seeking professional advice and conducting research are crucial to making a fully informed and successful business acquisition decision.

VENDOR FINANCE IS NOT

A DIRTY WORD

Author: Alex Stajka Managing Director

Vendor finance, also known as seller financing or owner financing, can be a very effective way to sell a business in the current climate. It does however come with risks, so the team at SOT Business Brokers Perth explore some of the benefits and drawbacks.

WHAT IS VENDOR FINANCE?

Vendor finance is when the seller of a business funds part of the business sale instead of the buyer going down the route of traditional lending. Typically the buyer will pay part of the price upfront and the finance terms are arranged via contract privately rather than through the banks. The buyer pays off the purchase price of the business (including interest) via instalments to the seller (vendor).

A worked example:

John wants to sell his café for $280-$300k. A very interested buyer has assessed their lending options and the maximum they can offer is $220k for the business. They simply can not get any more funds from any lender. This is much lower than John wants to accept. John offers vendor financing for a purchase price of $290k. The buyer pays John a $110k deposit and the remaining $180k is paid off in instalments over the next 24 months, at an interest rate of 6%.

WHY CAN’T THE BUYER USE TRADITIONAL LENDING?

It’s no secret that the current lending landscape has become more difficult. In fact, it's harder to get a loan in Australia now

than it has been in years, possibly ever. Why? In recent years, the big banks have been hit by both the financial services royal commission and the media for lax lending standards. As such, changes have been implemented by the Australian Government to ensure the financial system remains strong. Great in theory, however the reality is that lending is much more difficult for your typical business buyer. This is especially true if the business for sale has no/limited tangible assets such as machinery or vehicles.

For buyers who are older and have assets/capital to leverage, it can be easier, however younger buyers without significant wealth creation are really suffering. Business brokers in Perth are seeing some deals fall through at the financing stage and for those who can get lending, the process often takes longer than previously. Lenders ask more questions, insist on more documents and have more hoops to jump through than ever. Why take on the risk of vendor finance?

Vendor finance is used more often than you might think to achieve a better deal for both parties. Buyers see it as a way to reduce risk and it enables them to buy a

business they might not otherwise have been able to finance. Sellers use it to access a wider pool of buyers and to achieve a faster sale at a higher price than they may have been otherwise offered. In today’s complicated lending landscape, buyers who can get loans are frequently getting less than they ask for and this shapes their offer to buy a business. The seller can of course accept a lower than anticipated offer, however, vendor financing can allow a higher purchase price to be agreed. Vendor finance can not only prevent a deal from falling over, but the vendor also earns interest on the loan.

WHAT RISKS ARE INVOLVED WITH VENDOR FINANCING?

If the buyer defaults on its agreed repayments, there is financial risk to the seller providing vendor finance. There are a number of effective methods for minimising the risk, including:

• Performing a credit check on the buyer to understand if they have defaulted in the past;

• Ensuring the loan agreement is properly drafted by an experienced commercial Lawyer;

Search businesses and franchises for sale in Australia

• Agreeing securities and how they will be provided;

• Entering into a deed of priority, which would give the seller priority against third party lenders so they get “paid first” in terms of debt repayment;

• Limit the buyer’s ability to share the business’ profits until the seller has received full repayment under the repayment schedule of the agreement; and

• Grant power of attorney to the seller in the event of a default to regain control over any licences and assets of the business.

Vendor financing is generally not recommended if the business has a history of low profits and poor cash flow.

Situated on the mouth of the Murchison River as it flows into the Indian Ocean is the picturesque town of Kalbarri, almost 600 kilometers north of Perth.

At the heart of the friendly community of Kalbarri is the newly-renovated Gilgai Tavern. With two fully equipped bar areas and comfortable seating for up to 200 patrons, the Tavern embodies the coastal, laid-back atmosphere residents and visitors expect.

It has become the local live music venue with visiting bands entertaining large crowds of patrons.

After 16 years of operation, the current owners have decided to retire, appointing business sale representative Loni Visser of Ray White Kalbarri to help them move on.

“This is an exciting opportunity

for anyone looking for an excellent investment and a slower paced community,” Loni commented.

She explained, “The successful buyer can purchase the freehold property or the leasehold, listed at $700,000. The current owners have built a thriving business during some tough times for the hospitality industry, and now the Gilgai Tavern has never been more popular.”

The word Gilgai translates from the Kamilaroi, Wiradhuri and related Aboriginal languages as “small watering hole,” which is appropriate for this local focal point. However, the Tavern is not that small now.

So what does Kalbarri offer?

• A population of 1,478 locals with a median age of 53 (you will be at the centre of the community)

• Attracting over 200,000 tourists every year couples to families

• A great destination for sea-changers who love the outdoors

• A popular tourist location (easy access to the famous Kalbarri National Park)

• An exciting surf beach for beginners and the best left hand break around (as well as reef breaks for the more experienced surfers)

• An opportunity to swim or kayak in the Murchison River (if you tire of ocean swimming)

• And we could go on (but we won’t!).

Loni said, “The extensive renovations and expansion of the Gilgai Tavern has created an atmosphere catering to modern tastes while retaining the coastal

feel locals and visitors expect. It’s strategically located in the heart of Kalbarri, so it’s part of the business precinct and easy to find.”

With stunning views of the Murchison River and the Indian Ocean, the expansive outdoor areas can be adapted to varying weather conditions. And, speaking of weather, Kalbarri’s temperatures range from highs of 33°C in summer to lows of 10°C in winter.

Since the disruption of the COVID pandemic, the business has enjoyed consistent growth, benefitting from the increasing numbers of sea-changers moving to the area and the returning tourists who enjoy lengthy stays in the region.

Loni emphasised, “The region's popularity is expected to continue creating more opportunities for business growth. The buyers could add new service options and there is space for physical

expansion of facilities.”

“Although the current owners have managed the Tavern,” Loni continued, “employing a manager to work with the existing experienced and loyal staff is possible.”

For anyone seeking a lucrative financial investment and a fantastic lifestyle, the Gilgai Tavern could be yours. For more details and to express your interest, contact Ilona Visser from Ray White, Kalbarri on 0458 663 995.

eaving your comfortable 9-5 to embark on a journey to creating that freedom business can be filled with twists, turns, and unexpected challenges. For many, it begins with a burning passion and a desire to make a difference in the world. Yet, the road to success is rarely linear, as I learned firsthand in my own journey.

After many years growing my own company and supporting many to do the same, I’ve discovered that getting started is the hardest part, which is why most stay in the rat race. Whether it is the fear of the unknown or leaving the security of a steady income. Creating the momentum and drive to overcome those first hurdles will set you up for success. How do you do that I hear you ask? Here are three simple things to remember:

1. What you focus on is what you get: A clear vision of what you want to achieve, what you want life to look like will set you up to move towards your goals. Those that stay stuck focus on what they don’t want which makes opportunity hard to spot.

2. Progress not perfection: Know that the expectations you have on yourself are usually much greater than the ones others have of you. Have a plan but don’t feel like everything needs to be perfect before you launch. It will adapt and grow over time.

3. You don’t need to do it all at once: A side hustle can be a great way to build a sustainable business while still earning a steady income. A great little exercise I do with my clients is to have them list their priorities in life, in order, eg: family, fun, travel, work etc and then to look at their current calendar and see the reality of their current priorities based on how they schedule their week. This creates a catalyst to map out how you can move from

where you are now to where you want to be at a pace that works for you. Slowly transitioning priorities without going cold turkey on that monthly paycheck.

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE

DON’T DO IT ALONE:

After letting ego get in my way for several months when I first started building my new business. I sought the help of a mentor. You simply don’t know what you don’t know and surrounding yourself with people who you aspire to become is real fast track to success. Think of those you admire, the successful people in your eyes that have come before you. You don’t necessarily need to go knocking on their door to buy them a coffee and ask 50000 questions (though if you can it definitely helps) but research them, what has their journey been so far? How did they get to the place they are now? This will setup your own roadmap and hopefully help you navigate your first few steps.

THE POWER OF MINDSET:

Throughout my journey, what was going on inside my head played the most crucial role in determining success. The biggest barrier for many aspiring entrepreneurs isn’t lack of knowledge or resources, but rather their own limiting beliefs and self-doubt. I’ve witnessed firsthand how negative self-talk can sabotage even the most promising ventures. That’s why cultivating a positive mindset is paramount. By reframing challenges as opportunities and silencing the inner critic, entrepreneurs can unlock their full potential and achieve their goals.

CELEBRATE FAILURE:

Contrary to popular belief, failure is not the end of the road but rather a stepping stone to success. Failing forward is how I like to see it. Failure as a natural part of the entrepreneurial journey, recognizing that each setback

brings valuable lessons and insights. From failed ventures to missed opportunities, every experience will shape you into the entrepreneur you will become. Success isn’t about avoiding failure but rather learning from it and using it as fuel to propel you forward.

As I reflect on my journey, I’m reminded that turning passion into profit is not just about financial gain but more about personal fulfillment and growth. Money after all is the resource to achieve what you want in life and if you truly follow your passion and embrace the opportunities in front of you that resource will present itself at the right time. So to all the aspiring entrepreneurs out there, it’s time, pursue your passions with courage and conviction. Remember, the road to success may be challenging, but with the right mindset and determination, anything is possible.

HYBRID CARAVANS THAT SELL THEMSELVES

Author: Susan Woodland

In 2006, a couple of Sydney tradies started a camper trailer business. The outdoor industry was booming, and they saw an opportunity to utilise their building and plumbing skills in the adventure market.

“In the beginning, our products were pretty rudimentary. We put primitive tents on Australianmade box trailers. But over the years our business has evolved and today we are offering highquality off road hybrid caravans that we manufacture offshore.”

“These days a lot of caravan companies are manufacturing offshore. Even some of the iconic Australian brands have models that are fully imported.”

“When we started the business in the early 2000s, camping shows were our main sales channel. Around 80 percent of sales came through the shows and 20 percent direct. Now it’s the opposite way around. We still attend some shows to maintain brand awareness, but the ROI isn’t there.”

“Our customers do their research online and then visit our showroom or our dealerships. During COVID when many consumers were turning away from bricks and mortar shopping,

our showroom was busier than ever, and it has remained that way.”

“We are not high-pressure sales guys, and our customers are not hagglers. We show them the models, tell them the price, and they accept the quote and place their order. We have good designs and brand reputation. Most of our customers know what they want, they may have friends who’ve recommended our hybrids, or they’ve seen them on the road. I would say we sell to a slightly older, wiser demographic.”

“It would be more difficult to get into the market now with new regulations and the changing sales landscape. You could burn a lot of money launching a business. Fortunately, we have good brand awareness, and we are well established in the market.”

“I wouldn’t be selling the business if it wasn’t for some health issues that I have to deal with. It is a really enjoyable industry to be part of. Customers come to you in a happy mode. They are buying a ‘toy’ or something to have fun with.”

“People can confidently go offroading in our hybrids. I don’t

know how many of our customers actually go off road, but that’s what people are looking for these days. They have a bucket list that includes exploring the great outdoors, but they want to have a level of comfort too.”

“We haven’t extended the business as much as we might have. A new owner could keep it the way it is, or they could find more dealerships. The brand, the models, and the supplier relationships are ripe for expansion.”

“Our workshop and showroom are in Western Sydney, but the business is relocatable. This could be advantageous if the new owner already has a similar or complementary business.”

“Although the business was started by a disgruntled builder and plumber, the product crosses over many fields. The business would be suited to an electrician, mechanic, panel beater, indeed anyone who’s mechanically minded. Or the new owner might want to be more hands-off. You don’t need to be into camping either, but you do need to understand what it’s all about.”

WHY A MERGER OR ACQUISITION SHOULD BE ON YOUR LIST IN 2024

In the landscape of modern business, strategic maneuvering is paramount for sustained success and growth. As we navigate through the complexities of the global market in 2024, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) emerge as indispensable tools for organizations seeking to fortify their position, expand their reach, and capitalize on emerging opportunities. In this topic, we delve into the compelling reasons why an M&A should be a top consideration for companies in 2024.

1. Market Consolidation and Competition: The business arena continues to witness heightened competition across industries. Rapid technological advancements, changing consumer preferences, and evolving regulatory landscapes contribute to an environment where only the fittest survive. M&A presents a strategic avenue for companies to consolidate their market presence, streamline operations, and enhance competitiveness. By joining forces with complementary entities, organizations can leverage synergies to strengthen their market position and gain a competitive edge over rivals.

2. Access to New Markets and Customers: Expansion into new markets is a pivotal growth strategy for businesses looking to diversify revenue streams and mitigate risks associated with regional economic fluctuations. M&A facilitates rapid market penetration by providing access to established distribution channels, customer bases, and local

expertise. Furthermore, strategic acquisitions enable companies to capitalize on emerging market trends, demographic shifts, and untapped consumer segments, thereby fuelling sustainable growth and market expansion initiatives.

3. Innovation and Intellectual Property: In the age of digital transformation and disruptive innovation, intellectual property (IP) assets and technological capabilities assume heightened significance. M&A serves as a conduit for acquiring cutting-edge technologies, proprietary software solutions, and valuable patents that can catalyse innovation and drive product development efforts. By integrating innovative startups or tech-savvy firms into their ecosystem, established enterprises can foster a culture of innovation, accelerate time-to-market, and stay ahead of industry disruptors.

4. Economies of Scale and Cost Efficiencies: Achieving economies of scale is a fundamental objective for businesses seeking to optimize operational efficiencies and reduce costs. Through strategic mergers or acquisitions, organizations can rationalize overhead expenses, streamline supply chains, and negotiate better terms with vendors and suppliers. Moreover, the consolidation of resources and infrastructure enables companies to achieve economies of scale in production, distribution, and marketing activities, thereby enhancing profitability and shareholder value in the long run.

5. Talent Acquisition and Human Capital Development: Human capital is a cornerstone

Author: Shrey Shah Specialist Business Broker

of organizational success, driving innovation, productivity, and customer satisfaction. M&A presents an opportunity for companies to acquire top-tier talent, subject matter experts, and skilled professionals who possess specialized knowledge and domain expertise. By fostering a culture of collaboration and knowledge sharing, organizations can harness the collective intellect of their workforce to tackle complex challenges, drive organizational change, and sustain competitive advantage in a dynamic business landscape.

6. Risk Mitigation and Portfolio Diversification: Diversification is a prudent risk management strategy that allows companies to spread their investments across different asset classes, industries, and geographic regions. M&A enables firms to diversify their business portfolios, reduce dependency on specific market segments or product lines, and hedge against unforeseen disruptions or downturns. By expanding into adjacent markets or verticals, organizations can create synergies, minimize business risks, and enhance resilience in the face of macroeconomic uncertainties.

NAIVELY OPERATING AN UNLAWFUL BUSINESS

Author: Ray Dye Certified Business Valuer

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

Over my career as a Business Broker, I have found that the majority of Buyers and their cohorts, (real or imagined), focus on the financial reporting which in most cases is part of the

ATO submissions. To say that this is an accurate way of confirming the business’s income, expenditure and transparency is absurd. However, in my experience, it is still the methodology that is preferred.

As a result of this focus, a buyer tends to gloss over areas that have significant value and potential for the viability of the business and its future. Examples are the authenticity or currency of the database of the business and the true transferability of agreements and understandings. Most of these are casually agreed to and continue over many years without event or challenge. Furthermore, they are not formalised and condensed into a written document. It is difficult to insist that these form part of the transferable assets of the Business.

This financial document bias or skewing often leaves some aspect of the business that needs addressing undiscovered.

In my example today, A café/coffee shop business was purchased 3

years ago. It was located outside of the urban area and served as a community watering hole as there are no alternatives locally. For over 30 years, it has operated as a café selling food and coffee. In that time there have been several owners that have continued to operate in the same manner. The lease has been assigned over to these new vendors and they have not experienced any challenges besides their normal business activities. The Gold Coast City Council (GCCC) Health department issued food licences and inspected the premises as part of their mandate. The GCCC also issued a pavement licence as the business demonstrated full compliance.

The latest vendor continued in the same manner as their predecessors. They also had the lease assigned to them. That meant that the previous landlord permissions had been obtained and continued. For them, the business was showing substantial growth and an increased patronage.

As a natural progression of this trend and as part of their business plan (submitted to the landlord as part of their acceptance process), they applied for a Liquor Licence. During the application process, the licencing authority found that the business was incorrectly zoned and had been so since the inception of the business. This meant, that the GCCC was made aware and issued a cease business injunction. The vendor was compelled to apply for a Development Approval (DA) and after considerable business disruption, managed to keep the doors open whilst the DA was being processed. The business owner had to pay over $25,000 to get the approval and thereby, get the business rezoned so that they could apply for the liquor licence again.

Part of the DA compliancy requirements involved the landlord as he had to complete some aspects. One of these was to improve the parking area as it was muddy in the wet season and he had to demarcate parking bays. The vendor obtained permission to continue the business. She knew that the landlord had to complete these issues of compliance but it was outside her area of responsibility. Unfortunately, the ordeal had soured her excitement for the business and she placed the business on the market.

It was not long that as her business broker, I received an offer that both parties accepted and we went to contract. The contract was a REIQ Business Sale contract. Included in Contract, were the addendums. They included (amongst others), a copy of the lease, a leasor disclosure statement, a leasee disclosure statement and a copy of the Standard Conditions of sale version 4. Seeing the disclosure statement more as a legal requirement, I only checked the main points of the statement. (Especially as it was a “rinse and repeat” occasion or so I thought).

When the draft contract went to the Buyer’s solicitor, he “picked

up” from the Leasor Disclosure Statement, that the carpark work was not completed. Although the landlord had instructed a contractor to complete the work and that he was going to start it in 2 weeks, there was no firm completion date set due to weather conditions. An added weight was that once the work was completed, the GCCC would need to sign off on the work and issue the report required for the compliance that was previously mentioned.

The consequence and the numerous instructions given to the Buyer’s solicitor by the Purchaser to act on, was that the sale became stressed and a suspicion of complicity was growing. The Seller was not represented by a solicitor as she still was hurting from the $25,000 “gouge”. The negotiations became untenable especially as we were dealing with parties outside of the contract of business sale influence. Unrealistic demands were made from the Buyer’s “cadre” and ultimately the deal “crashed”. The Seller could not give warrantees around this work. She was permitted by the GCCC as the work was being completed.

I know, that we can look through the steps and apportion blame, a little like “pointing the bone”. However, I want to draw the reader’s attention to several items of significance to anybody involved with selling, buying or brokering a business sale. The sale of a business often uncovers areas that are unlawful, furthermore, these issues are important in the course of normal operation. If the business wanted to claim insurance for example in their daily operations, and these anomalies were discovered, they might lose their ironclad claims.

As a business broker, I gave considerable thought to how I can ensure that there is a way to mitigate this risk especially as it might not be intentional and can grow to be a problem although it has not been picked up over several cycles of the business operation. The REIQ Standard

Conditions version 4 gives us a contractual solution in Item 17 where the Seller warrants to the best of their knowledge at the point of sale of the business that none of these issues are present. This protects the Buyer to a certain extent but does not tell you how to pay for the resultant litigation, unless the deal is cancelled before completion.

Another help is that in item X of the REIQ Contract there is a provision for requisitions that can be used by the Buyer to ensure that the unlawful elements are addressed to the amount stated in the contract. The challenge here is to consider how much the requisitions should be. Too little doesn’t address the problem and too much may jeopardise the acceptance of the contract. Besides most brokers are thinking of it as a fund to ensure the food licence is awarded.

To me, a business sale is an opportunity or chance to reset the business. It amazingly generates new hope aspirations and to some a relief. Be on the lookout and check the details in the information supplied. This is easier said than done because some sellers are in desperate positions and have very little chance of producing the actual documents that you need. Some may say that you as a Buyer should just walk away, however, I suggest that although chaotic there might be the bare bones of a wonderful opportunity. Remember, your experience in business will still be comforted by the implementation of solid business principles without compromising the new innovations. An experienced competent Business Broker is, I believe, a non-negotiable.

So, you might be blissfully unaware that your business is unlawful but inaction or being inattentive might attack your credibility when selling. Assuming or relying on your “innocence” is not enough.

STRONG: How the best sales leaders engage, achieve, and thrive

In today’s competitive landscape, one of the most pressing challenges facing organisations right now is the retention and engagement of their sales teams. This concern is not simply speculation, it’s substantiated by recent reports from PricewaterhouseCoopers and Development Dimensions International.

Sales leaders are acutely aware of the gravity of this issue. After all, the departure of a salesperson doesn’t just leave a vacant role; it can also mean the erosion of existing client relationships, impacting customer retention. This is why the financial implications of a salesperson’s turnover can be staggering, often amounting to four times their pay. But why are salespeople leaving in the first place?

One of the most significant reasons is the decline in engagement, not only in Australia but globally. Sales teams are under immense pressure, and when they feel ill-equipped to meet these demands, they become disengaged, leading to dissatisfaction and reduced performance. The cost of staff disengagement, according to Gallup, is a staggering $3,400 out of every $10,000 worth of salary paid.

It’s clear that maintaining an engaged and motivated team is paramount, especially in sales, where motivation is a fundamental trait.

So, what exactly drives engagement and motivation? Contrary to popular belief, money isn’t the ultimate motivator of sales teams. Research suggests that we’re most motivated when our fundamental psychological needs are met. Let’s delve into these four key needs that apply to all individuals, including those in sales.

1. UNCOVER PURPOSE

Understanding your purpose

is a powerful motivator. What’s even greater is when your individual purpose ties in with your organisation’s purpose as this is when people find meaning in their roles. Sales teams need to understand the impact of their product or service on their clients; this realisation can significantly boost their motivation. When they see how their work contributes to a larger goal, they find greater meaning in their role. This alignment of personal purpose with an organisation’s mission sets a clear pathway to success and can help salespeople through challenging times.

2. BUILD COMPETENCE

Competence is about our desire to build knowledge and develop skills to feel capable in our roles. We want to work for employers who support our growth and help us become our best. Instead of feeling overwhelmed by constant challenges, we want to feel that we have the mastery to overcome them. A long-term career path that allows continuous advancement is also crucial. To motivate and retain sales talent, they need opportunities to learn, grow, and develop in their roles. This could include formal avenues like workshops, coaching or mentoring, or informal methods like offering feedback, roleshadowing, rotating roles or responsibilities, and providing challenging work.

3. OFFER AUTONOMY

Autonomy in our roles means having control and choice over how we work, when we work, and with whom we work. This sense of freedom energises and satisfies us, enhancing our overall engagement. Achieving autonomy doesn’t necessarily mean working remotely; for some, this may not be feasible. Instead, it could involve flexible start, break, and end times, or the opportunity to choose the type of work to undertake or who they work with.

4. STRENGTHEN BELONGING

Relatedness taps into our inherent need to belong and form meaningful connections with those around us. Given the significant amount of time we spend at work, cultivating strong relationships with our colleagues is essential. These connections not only motivate us but also enhance our productivity, energy, and engagement - qualities that are particularly valuable in today’s demanding environment. When you feel a sense of belonging and support from your team, you’re more likely to be committed to your workplace and less likely to consider leaving.

When these four fundamental needs are met - purpose, competence, autonomy, and belonging - salespeople are highly motivated, engaged, and inherently satisfied with their work. Conversely, when these needs are frustrated, salespeople are more likely to be disengaged, and eventually seek opportunities elsewhere. A team of intrinsically motivated salespeople not only performs better but also remains loyal and committed. However, if they feel disconnected from the company’s purpose, overwhelmed by performance pressure, or their needs remain unmet, they become a flight risk. Therefore, it’s imperative that organisations cultivate an environment that nurtures these needs, so sales teams thrive.

Bad Boss: What to do if you work for one, manage one or are one

Depending on which side of the AI divide you sit on, AI will either ruin workplaces and destroy jobs or be a productivity bonanza.

With AI evolving at an unprecedented rate, balancing the opportunities from technological change with ethical responsibilities is imperative.

In striking the optimal balance, the critical consideration for leaders is how to leverage the technology wisely and be ready to make the most of it.

Both questions are vital. Leaders need to understand technology’;s consequences, particularly as it can sometimes be unintentional. They must also prepare themselves and their teams because it’s here whether you like it or not.

IDENTIFY THE ISSUES

For leaders to successfully navigate these changes, they need to ensure they are fully informed and aware of AI’s challenges.

Director of Technology Ethics at the Markkula Centre for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University has identified 16 central issues. These issues include concerns around transparency of AI use and safeguarding user privacy; bias in data sources, which can lead to discriminatory outcomes; being clear on where the responsibility lies and ensuring ethical guidelines for AI deployment; and impacts on jobs.

ELEVATE ASSESSMENT

In 2017, Genpact research found that only a quarter of people surveyed were concerned about AI’s impact on the workforce right now; instead, they were more concerned about what it meant for their children or later generations.

More recent research from SnapLogic found that 72% of Australians interviewed

welcomed AI’s use in their role, compared to an average of 66%, with UK respondents the least inclined at 61%. However, 34% of respondents felt that very few people in their organisation had the skills to implement and adopt AI successfully.

Just as organisations undertake scenario planning to help them investigate and plan for unknown risks, this is a helpful approach when planning for potential AI changes. Look ahead, examine where your industry, organisation and profession are heading, and consider possible pathways and options that could eventuate.

By conducting thorough impact assessments, you can better understand the use and impacts of AI in the context of your role, team, clients/customers and communities. Using these insights, you can determine how far you need to pivot and adapt, and you can proactively address workforce transitions and any necessary reskilling or upskilling for your team.

SUPPORT YOUR TEAM

When ChatGPT was first released, some sectors immediately banned its use. However, a better approach was to find ways to work with the technology, as Professor Aumann from Northern Michigan University did. He explained how when he saw the prevalence of its use, he changed how students were assessed, weaved ChatGPT into the lessons and asked students to evaluate the chatbot’s responses.

Investigate the benefits and options. Ask yourself: How can it save time? Where could it improve processes and output? How can it be best blended with the work I and my team lead? Explore and play with the technology to test the boundaries.

Talk with your team about how and where it can be helpful because when employees see

the benefits of working with it, they will more readily leverage its benefits to innovation and work quality.

However, not all employees will embrace AI readily. Don’t dismiss their concerns. Work with them and help them to navigate this changing landscape. It’s easier to adapt when a person can see the benefit and feels supported to try something new.

EMBRACE HUMANITY

Not everything can be outsourced to technology, nor would you want to.

Technology is excellent with processes but not with emotions and connection. A robot can’t connect, show compassion or provide the emotional support humans need to thrive.

That ‘special sauce’; that makes us all unique becomes even more critical in the age of AI.

LEAD BY EXAMPLE

Ethical leadership will be more critical than ever as leaders confront decisions they have not faced before.

Your integrity will be tested as you make choices around transparency, collective good, and workforce changes. Consequently, you want to identify what you stand for, identify the issues that matter and be aware of the line you won’t cross.

In embracing ethical AI, seek input from the fields of technology, law, philosophy, and sociology. Encourage collaboration to tackle complex challenges and regularly monitor AI systems for bias, discrimination, and unintended consequences.

Leaders who navigate the ethical challenges of AI with integrity will drive innovation and ensure a future where technology serves humanity rather than harms it.

In many ways, when you look around, we appear to have normalised or, at the very least, become accustomed to mediocre service interactions. Either that, or we’ve fallen under some kind of spell.

Let me paint a picture for you; maybe this picture is familiar to you also? An ordinary day, a few errands and appointments to attend. I take a family member to a medical appointment, get on a flight, check in to my hotel at the other end, do some quick personal shopping across the road from the hotel, grab dinner with some colleagues and drop into a supermarket on the way back. Multiple interactions as a customer, and all of them below average and predictably underwhelming:

1. At the medical appointment: We arrive for a scheduled checkup. The receptionist confirms our appointment, checks my family member in and directs them to the waiting area. The receptionist efficiently carries out the necessary administrative tasks but does not engage with me or my family member beyond this.

2. At the airline check-in desk: I have a bag to check in for this trip. The self-service kiosk is not working. An airline staff member walks up to me and, without eye contact or a smile, asks for my boarding pass, overrides the selfservice kiosk, prints the baggage tags and tags the luggage, all in silence. The interaction is minimal and solely focused on completing the transaction as quickly as possible.

3. At the hotel: I arrive and queue at the front desk. With a halfsmile, the receptionist asks for my name, verifies my booking, provides the room key and briefly explains where the room is located. The process is quick and efficient but lacks any personal touch or attempt to understand if I have any special requirements or interests.

4. At the retail store: I walk in with a particular product in mind. I go to the register to find a human, as I can’t see anyone on the floor. I ask where the product is, and the staff’s reaction to my product request is a look of disapproval. They point in a particular direction, leaving me doubting if this product is reputable and wondering if I said something I shouldn’t had? I find the product. I no longer feel good about it, so I leave without making a purchase.

5. At the restaurant: I arrive where my colleagues suggested they would be and eventually find them. I sit at the table and wait for several minutes before a waiter sees me and offers me a drink. The menu is accessible via a QR code, and we are asked to use this when we’re ready to order. We order. There is no more service for what feels like an eternity as I drain my first glass of wine. The food arrives with a brief explanation of what has been placed on the table, and then they are off. ‘Dump and run’ would be an accurate description. There is no more service. Our bill arrives, and we are asked to leave a tip on a mobile payment machine that is (yep, you guessed it) dumped on the table. We all agree that the tip request is an insult – who would we be tipping and what for? We get up and leave; no one from the restaurant says goodbye or asks if we enjoyed the meal.

6. At the supermarket: Well, let’s just say, even I am not paying attention by now. Just an ordinary day, and soooo many opportunities for these people to make me feel just a little bit valued, unique or important – yet I collapsed on my hotel-room bed thinking how beige and twodimensional each of those service interactions were. No one did anything wrong and no one was offensive, but equally, no one honoured the whole human that I am beyond the product or service. There was nothing special about any of it.

And so, on we go. Each day is a lot like the last. Walking around the world under the illusion that we’re serving people with what we think they need – and yet missing opportunities each day, in the ordinary interactions, to reinforce and honour each other.

We don’t need to be part of a religion or commit to community service to feel connected, cared for and part of something bigger than ourselves. If we take a more holistic approach to ordinary service interactions, we are nurturing that deep need to feel we matter. As the saying goes (often attributed to philosopher and psychologist John Dewey), ‘The deepest urge in human nature is the desire to feel important’.

Customer service delivered by humans has a point of difference that needs to be articulated clearly. That point of difference is this: we can see all of the person in front of us. Beyond the product or service that the customer has come for, what they really want out of this engagement is often something only another human can sense, only a human can tap into, and only a human can provide (even if they are unconscious of it).
