Three common objectives to be aware of before you complete the transaction.
When you’re running a business, it’s always important to have clear goals in mind—and it’s no different when you’re attempting to sell it off.
Understanding your motivations for selling your business will shape your objectives and help you understand the steps needed to complete the transaction. Being clear about your goals will enable you to prepare and structure a deal that meets your requirements. Here are some common goals:
If your primary focus is financial, you will aim to maximize the sales price of your company. This could be to fund your retirement, support your family, contribute to charitable causes, or embark on new business ventures. To achieve this, you’ll need to focus on strategies that enhance the business’s value—such as improving profitability, streamlining operations, and presenting a strong growth potential to potential buyers.
If you’re concerned about the legacy and future of your business, your goal might be to ensure a smooth transition. This involves facilitating a smooth transition, maintaining the business’s legacy, and securing the jobs of long-time employees. In such cases, sellers might stay involved in some capacity post-sale; such as through vendor financing, an earn-out agreement, or taking on an advisory or board role. This approach can reassure buyers and help facilitate a smoother transition.
Alternatively, you might prefer to completely disengage from the business after the sale. This allows you to focus on retirement or pursue other projects without any lingering responsibilities. However, opting for a full exit can affect the sale price, as buyers often view this as a higher-risk scenario. Without your involvement, they may anticipate potential challenges and uncertainties—leading them to negotiate for a lower price.
By setting clear goals, you can structure the transaction to meet your needs—whether they are financial, operational, or personal—ensuring a successful and satisfying outcome.
