Every business owner will eventually exit their business. Successful exits require intentional planning and time, including creating a strategy, closing value gaps, tax planning, and structured ownership transfer.
Selling Your Business to Family
Selling a family business involves balancing fair values with affordability. Clear communication and thoughtful governance are vital for a successful transition, preserving legacy and ensuring harmonious family relationships.
Selling Your Business to a Strategic Buyer
Strategic buyers seek acquisitions to enhance operations and gain competitive advantages, often offering higher valuations. However, integration can alter company culture, necessitating careful consideration from business owners.
Quality of Earnings and Technology Costs
Quality of Earnings audits emphasize the significance of assessing true technology costs through employee productivity. Deferred technology can inflate company expenses, affecting valuations. Investing in updated hardware and software ensures efficiency while avoiding costly indirect expenses and enhances enterprise value.
