Valuation of Ongoing Business Concern
The
owner of a business is the only person who can determine if and when it is time to sell his/her business. As one decides whether he/she wants to sale
their decision, must include the following issues:
- Is your business an “Ongoing Business
Concern” which your family can manage after you are gone?
- Has your business provided for you and your
family?
- Does your business
have the financial resources to keep up with new technology?
- Do you just want a
change in your lifestyle?
- Will the sell of your
business fund your retirement?
- Every 7 years many
industries go through a metamorphosis.
Is your industry approaching such changes?
- Is your partnership not
working? What is you exit plan?
- Are you just are not
happy with where you business is at this point?
- Have you built a very
successful business and you are ready to sell (cash-out)?
The economic value of each business is
determined by the following issues:
- Business Concept;
- Lease expiration
date;
- MBE, DBE, or WBE
status;
- Minimum Monthly
Rent;
- Net Cash Flow;
- Percentage Rent;
- The life cycle of
your industry;
- The life cycle of
your business;
- The type of industry
(retail, service, food, manufacturing, health, brokerage and others);
and
- Union Relationship.
