Here are some typical buyer concerns
- What is the best business to own?
- Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Most Buyers want to own a profitable, well-managed business in an industry that holds a personal interest for them. On the other hand, some Buyers may look for opportunities that offer turnaround potential, where they can apply their special skills. In general, there is no industry that is particularly better than another. However, there are specific businesses that are more successful than others - even in the same industry.
- How is an offer structured?
- Most businesses sell for one-third to one-half down. The remainder is financed by the Seller, by a bank or through family resources. Sellers generally prefer to receive all cash at closing and some Buyers are able and willing to accommodate them. However, Buyers are usually trying to get the most bang for their buck and will want to leverage their down payment into the largest business they can buy. Although, Buyers may want to make a no-money or low-money down offer, it is very rare that they will succeed. Usually a business cannot earn enough to pay salary to the owner and service such a level of debt. In addition, the lender, whether it is the seller or a bank, wants the Buyer to show his commitment to the business by having vested financial interest in its success.
- How much money do I have to put down on this business?
- Generally, we are looking for a minimum of 20% down with finances that can be obtained within 7 business days. If your money is in real estate and not very liquid, you will need to make that money liquid before we start showing you businesses. Be sure to leave enough money in the bank for working capital. A basic financial statement will help us determine your purchase power.
- Do I need an attorney?
- We suggest that you have an accountant and an attorney. However, they are not in any position to tell you to buy this business or not. The accountant will be looking for the perfect business in the financials and the attorney will be looking for the perfect business in the paperwork. Remember, that the perfect business does not exist. If you need guidance in your decision we suggest a friend who has bought or owns a successful business who knows what they are talking about.
- Where can I learn more about this whole process?
- We will take you through an education process to explain pricing, terms, cash flow, the process, what to expect and how to make the right decision.
In the neantime we suggest you avail yourself of American Business Broker Network's wonderful research/educational online facility. Its 24-7, no charge and will demystify the buying process - as well as the selling process. Please make use of this. It is accessable here under the Learning Resource link tab.
- Why should I use a Business Broker?
- Selling or buying a business is one of the most important financial decisions you will make. A Business Broker has the training and expertise to guide you through the process in a comfortable and efficient manner. He is a team player who will coordinate the efforts of your professional advisors, such as attorneys and accountants. He has handled many transactions and understands the complexities of selling and buying a business.
