Is 2018 the Year to Change the Ending?

Is 2018 the Year to Change the Ending?

About this business of yours, has this year:

  • surpassed expectations? well on the way to building an asset to sell
  • done alright? hit milestones as foreseen
  • plateaued? nothing much happened
  • nose dived? a shocking year, be glad when it’s over

Whatever the answer is, was it good enough for what you wanted to achieve?
If yes, well done you – carry on! If not, what’s going to make 2018 any different?

Maybe it’s worth working out what the business is worth first, in today’s market, and then making decisions accordingly. Having appraised over 150+ businesses this year alone, I can work with you to ascertain the value first, and then work out next steps…

Think of it as my Christmas present to you! Ho Ho Ho

LIVE EVENT: “Business Ownership Is NOT a Life Sentence” YTM Networking with a Twist- KEW

LIVE EVENT: “Business Ownership Is NOT a Life Sentence” YTM Networking with a Twist- KEW

Wed. 16 August 2017, 6:00 pm – 8:30 pm AEST @ the Skinny Dog Hotel, High St Kew.

You’re invited to join us in a warm, friendly and supportive environment where you’ll benefit from a combination of open networking, strategic introductions and an expert speaker with ideas and practical tips on a relevant business issue.

As business owners ourselves, we know that time is a scarce and non-renewable resource. That’s why we’ve designed a different type of networking event that delivers maximum value in minimum time with personal as well as professional rewards.

In addition to ample opportunity for conversation during open networking and table conversations, this month our valuable insight is:

BONUS insight : “Business Ownership is not a Life Sentence …you can GET OUT” proudly brought to you by me!

How Saleable is your Business? Is your Business Ready to Sell at a moment’s notice?

Building a Business into an Asset may result in it possibly being the largest asset you’ll ever own, if not second after your home. So NOT “Starting with the End in Mind” (regardless of how old it is) when you’re ready can result in all the blood, sweat, tears, time and money you’ve invested resulting in close to nothing!

Knowing how to build a business that’s worthy, understanding where its value lies, finding a way to GET OUT as profitably and seamlessly as possible, means you need to think about what needs to be done and how to do it

You will then be able to

• define what it means to have a saleable and profitable business
• identify the key attributes a buyer will look for
• determine your business strengths and the advice you will need

PODCAST: Talking Selling Your Business on the Business Addicts Podcast

PODCAST: Talking Selling Your Business on the Business Addicts Podcast

In this episode of Business Addicts Podcast, we discuss Selling Your Business:

  • The issue many business owners often find themselves in, where they become trapped in an unsellable business because the business is heavily reliant on them as the owner.
  • The difference between building a business as a job replacement and building a business as an asset
  • The importance of recording and systemising work practices so that business becomes less reliant on you as an owner.
  • The pros and cons of productising services to differentiate your business offerings and giving you the ability to scale.
  • The different stages of the business lifecycle.
  • How to know when your business is ready to sell.
  • The importance of planning for the tax implications when selling your business.
  • The different types of people who buy businesses and how that can impact what they are prepared to pay.
  • How to calculate what your business is worth.
  • The value of “poking the market” rather than winding up your business, even if you don’t think your business is saleable.
  • What you need to do to put your business on the market.
  • How to attract the right buyers who will pay what your business is worth.
  • What’s involved in a business sales transaction and are there any pitfalls we need to look out for.
  • How long it usually takes to sell a business.
  • The various options available to you if you can’t find a buyer for your business.
PODCAST: Talking What Your Business Is Worth with Annemarie Cross of The Ambitious Entrepreneur

PODCAST: Talking What Your Business Is Worth with Annemarie Cross of The Ambitious Entrepreneur

Had the absolute pleasure to do the first Facebook Live for the Ambitious Entrepreneur Show, with Annemarie Cross, discussing all things What Is Your Business Worth? A most interesting experience which all went rather smoothly thanks for the impressive skills of Annemarie on the control panel.

It was a good solid conversation about what Business Owners should be doing in their business that will actually be of value come exit and/or sale time. Many Business Owners are guilty of doing the activities they like to do and are even good at, as opposed to the ones that add the most value and need to be done.

My view is why be in business if you’re not planning to build it into an Asset?

Riddle me this; Why do Business Buyers NOT want Trade-based ones?

Riddle me this; Why do Business Buyers NOT want Trade-based ones?

Tools of the Trade

We’re seeing a number of trade based businesses at present that are not getting the selling pricing they probably deserve and that prospective buyers are turning their noses up at… and I don’t get it.

They are good businesses, making good money.
YES, they require work (albeit manual) but then doesn’t every good business.

If you’re at all interested in:

  • maintenance
  • concrete
  • polishing
  • or want to be advised of those that come on the market

Please drop me a line at denise@xcllusive.com.au and I can fill you in with further details as they come to hand.
