Selling the Future

Jun 03, 2022 7:38 pm

As a Business Broker, I have two objectives when selling a business. In my last email I discussed the notion of helping a business owner to sell their business and realize maximum profit. My other goal is helping the new owner make the most of the investment they just bought.

One of the reasons why I enjoy doing what I do is because I get to work with a lot of entrepreneurs. I consider myself an entrepreneur as well, and, let me tell you from personal experience, they can be an odd bunch. But, with that quirkiness comes some amazing out-of-the-box thinking. Business owners harness this creative spirit to create new products and marketplaces.

In the world of business brokerage this is obvious in the buying process. An investor wants to use their capital in a strategic manner that produces the greatest return with the least amount of risk. My job (or, at least, one of them) is to help a buyer walk away from a business transaction with a plan of how to make the business bigger, better, more efficient, have higher margins, lower costs, and, ultimately, generate wealth for them.

So, please, do yourself (and me!) a favor and begin the conversation. We are constantly on the lookout for new opportunities for a number of qualified buyers that we have. Some of these candidates are looking for small investments, others quite large, and the preferred industry is as varied as the individuals. One thing, though, they all have in common is a desire and ability to problem solve and approach each particular business situation from a unique point of view.

As always, I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Happy Friday,

Josh

P.S. I've just listed a new business. More on that next week.

P.P.S. I'm also currently working on four business valuations, so expect more new listings in the near future!
