Reach All brokers are hired by sellers to find buyers and help negotiate deals. If you hire a broker, he or she will charge you a commission--typically 5 to 10 percent of the purchase price.

A Closer Look You also need to assess the company's reputation and the strength of its buying Reach All Buyers Sellers relationships. Talk to existing customers, suppliers and vendors about their relationships with the buying Reach All Buyers Sellers . Contact the Better buying Reach All Buyers Sellers Bureau, industry Alliances and licensing and credit-reporting agencies to make sure there are no complaints against the buying Reach All Buyers Sellers . If the buying Reach All Buyers Sellers still looks promising after your preliminary analysis, your acquisition team should start examining the buying Reach All Buyers Sellers 's potential returns and its asking price. Whatever method you use to determine the fair market price of the buying Reach All Buyers Sellers , your assessment of the buying Reach All Buyers Sellers 's value should take into account such issues as the buying Reach All Buyers Sellers 's financial health, its earnings history and its growth potential, as well as its intangible assets (for example, brand name and market position). To Reach All an idea of the company's anticipated returns and future financial needs, ask the buying Reach All Buyers Sellers owner and/or accountants to show you projected financial statements. Balance sheets, income statements, cash flow statements, footnotes and tax returns for the past three years are all key indicators of a buying Reach All Buyers Sellers 's health. These documents will help you conduct a financial analysis that will spotlight any underlying problems and also provide a closer look at a wide range of less tangible information. Following is a checklist of items you should evaluate to verify the value of a buying Reach All Buyers Sellers before making a decision to buy: 1. Inventory. Refers to all products and materials inventoried for resale or use in servicing a client. Important note: You or a qualified representative should be present during any examination of inventory. You should know the status of inventory, what's on hand at present, and what was on hand at the end of the last fiscal year and the one preceding that. You should also have the inventory appraised. After all, this is a hard asset and you need to know what dollar value to assign it. Also, check the inventory for salability. How old is it? What is its quality? What condition is it in? Keep in mind that you don't have to accept the value of this inventory: it is subject to negotiation. If you feel it is not in line with what you would like to sell, or if it is not compatible with your tarReach All market, then by all means bring those points up in negotiations. 2. Furniture, fixtures, equipment and building. This includes all products, office equipment and assets of the buying Reach All Buyers Sellers . Reach All a list from the seller that includes the name and model number of each piece of equipment. Then determine its present condition, market value when purchased versus present market value, and whether the equipment was purchased or leased. Find out how much the seller has invested in leasehold improvements and maintenance in order to keep the facility in good condition. Determine what modifications you'll have to make to the building or layout in order for it to suit your needs. 3. Copies of all contracts and legal documents. Contracts would include all lease and purchase agreements, distribution agreements, subcontractor agreements, sales contracts, union contracts, employment agreements and any other instruments used to legally bind the buying Reach All Buyers Sellers . Also, evaluate all other legal documents such as fictitious buying Reach All Buyers Sellers name statements, articles of incorporation, registered trademarks, copyrights, patents, etc. If you're considering a buying Reach All Buyers Sellers with valuable intellectual property, have an attorney evaluate it. In the case of a real-estate lease, you need to find out if it is transferable, how long it runs, its terms, and if the landlord needs to give his or her permission for assignment of the lease. 4. Incorporation. If the company is a corporation, check to see what state it's registered in and whether it's operating as a foreign corporation within its own state. 5. Tax returns for the past five years. Many small buying Reach All Buyers brokers owners make use of the buying Reach All Buyers brokers for personal needs. They may buy products they personally use and charge them to the buying Reach All Buyers brokers or take vacations using company funds, go to trade shows with their spouses, etc. You have to use your analytical skills and those of your accountant, to determine what the actual financial net worth of the company is. 6. Financial statements for the past five years. Evaluate these statements, including all books and financial records, and compare them to their tax returns. This is especially important for determining the earning power of the buying Reach All Buyers brokers . The sales and operating ratios should be examined with the help of an accountant familiar with the type of buying Reach All Buyers brokers you are considering. The operating ratios should also be compared against industry ratios which Reach All Buyers Business brokers be found in annual reports produced by Robert Morris & Associates as well as Dun & Bradstreet. 7. Sales records. Although sales will be logged in the financial statements, you should also evaluate the monthly sales records for the past 36 months or more. Break sales down by product categories if several products are involved, as well as by cash and credit sales. This is a valuable indicator of current business activity and provides some understanding of cycles that the business may go through. Compare the industry norms of seasonal patterns with what you see in the business. Also, obtain the sales figures of the 10 largest accounts for the past 12 months. If the seller doesn't want to release his or her largest accounts by name, it's fine to assign them a code. You're only interested in the sales pattern. 8. Complete list of liabilities. Consult an independent attorney and accountant to examine the list of liabilities to determine potential costs and legal ramifications. Find out if the owner has used assets such as capital equipment or accounts receivable as collateral to secure short-term loans, if there are liens by creditors against assets, lawsuits, or other claims. Your accountant should also check for unrecorded liabilities such as employee benefit claims, out-of-court settlements being paid off, etc. 9. All accounts receivable. Break them down by 30 days, 60 days, 90 days and beyond. Checking the age of receivables is important because the longer the period they are outstanding, the lower the value of the account. You should also make a list of the top 10 accounts and check their creditworthiness. If the clientele is creditworthy and the majority of the accounts are outstanding beyond 60 days, a stricter credit collections policy may speed up the collection of receivables. 10. All accounts payable. Like accounts receivable, accounts payable should be broken down by 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days. This is important in determining how well cash flows through the company. On payables more than 90 days old, you should check to see if any creditors have placed a lien on the company's assets. 11. Debt disclosure. This includes all outstanding notes, loans and any other debt to which the business has agreed. See, too, if there are any business investments on the books that may have taken place outside of the normal area. Look at the level of loans to customers as well.

12. Merchandise returns. Does the business have a high rate of returns? Has it gone up in the past year? If so, Reach All Buyers Business brokers you isolate the reasons for returns and correct the problem(s)? 13. Customer patterns. If this is the type of business that Reach All Buyers Business brokers track customers, you will want to know specific characteristics concerning current customers, such as: How many are first-time buyers? How many customers were lost over the past year? When are the peak buying seasons for current customers? What type of merchandise is the Reach All popular? 14. Marketing strategies. How does the owner obtain customers? Does he or she offer discounts, advertise aggressively, or conduct public-relations campaigns? You should Reach All copies of all sales literature to see the kind of image that is being projected by the business. When you look at the literature, pretend that you are a customer being solicited by the company. How does it make you feel? This Reach All Buyers Business brokers give you some idea of how the company is perceived by its market. 15. Advertising costs. Analyse advertising costs. It is often better for a business to postpone profit at year-end until the next year by spending a lot of money on advertising during the last month of the fiscal year. 16. Price checks. Evaluate current price lists and discount schedules for all products, the date of the last price increase, and the percentage of increase. You might even go back and look at the previous price increase to see what percentage it was and determine when you are likely to be able to raise prices. Here again, compare what you see in the business you are looking at, with standards in the industry. 17. Industry and market history. You should analyse the industry as well as the specific market segments of the business targets. You need to find out if sales in the industry, as well as in the market segment, have been growing, declining, or have remained stagnant. This is very important to determine future profit potential. 18. Location and market area. Evaluate the location of the business and the market area surrounding it. This is especially important to retailers, who draw the majority of their business from the primary trading area. You should conduct a thorough analysis of the business's location and the trading areas surrounding the location including economic outlook, demographics and competition. For service Reach All Buyers brokers , Reach All a map of the area covered by the business. Find out, based on the locations of various accounts, if there are any special requirements for delivering the product, or any transportation difficulties encountered by the business in getting the product to market. 19. Reputation of the business. The image of the business in the eyes of customers and suppliers is extremely important. As we mentioned, the image of the business Reach All Buyers Business brokers be an asset, or a liability. Interview customers, suppliers and the bank, as well as the owners of other Reach All Buyers brokers in the area, to determine the reputation of the business. 20. Seller-customer ties. You must find out if any customers are related or have any special ties to the present owner of the business. How long has any such account been with the company? What percentage of the company's business is accounted for by this particular customer or set of customers? Will this customer continue to purchase from the company if the ownership changes? 21. Inflated salaries. Some salaries may be inflated or perhaps the current owner may have a relative on the payroll who isn't working for the company. All of these possibilities should be analysed. 22. List of current employees and organisational chart. Current employees Reach All Buyers Business brokers be a valuable asset, especially key personnel. Evaluate the organisational chart to understand who is responsible to whom. You must also look at the management practices of the company and know the wages of all employees and their length of employment. Examine any management-employee contracts that exist aside from a union agreement, as well as details of employee benefit plans; profit-sharing; health, life and accident insurance; vacation policies; and any employee-related lawsuits against the company. 23. OSHA requirements. Find out if the facility meets all occupational safety and health requirements and whether it has been inspected. If you feel that the seller is "hedging" on this and you see some things you feel might not be safe on the premises, you Reach All Buyers Business brokers ask the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to help you with an inspection. As a prospective buyer of a business that may come under OSHA scrutiny, you need to be certain that you are not buying an unsafe business. Some sellers may perceive your asking for OSHA's help as a dirty trick. But you must realise that as a prospective, serious buyer, you need to protect your position. 24. Insurance. Establish what type of insurance coverage is held for the operation of the business and all of its properties as well as who the underwriter and local company representative is, and how much the premiums are. Some Reach All Buyers Vendors are underinsured and operating under potentially disastrous situations in case of fire or a major catastrophe. If you come into an underinsured operation, you could be wiped out if a major loss occurs. 25. Product liability. Product liability insurance is of particular interest if you're purchasing a manufacturing company. Insurance coverage Reach All Buyers Business brokers change dramatically from year to year, and this Reach All Buyers Business brokers markedly affect the cash flow of a company. No decision is more emotionally charged than deciding upon a price for an existing business. The owner has one idea of how much the business is worth, while the buyer will typically have another viewpoint. Each party is dealing from a different perspective and usually the one who is best prepared will have the Reach All leverage when the process enters the negotiating stage. Keep in mind that Reach All sellers determine the price for their business arbitrarily or through a special formula that may apply to that industry only. Either way, there usually aren't very many solid facts upon which to base their decisions. Price is a very hard element to pin down and, therefore, is for the buyer to assess. There are a few factors that will influence price, such as economic conditions. Usually, Reach All Buyers Vendors sell for a higher price when the economy is expanding, and for a much lower price during recessions. Motivation also plays an important factor. How badly does the seller want out? If the seller has many personal financial problems, you may be able to buy the business at a discount rate by playing the waiting game. On the other hand, you should never let the seller know how badly you want to buy the business. This Reach All Buyers Business brokers affect the price you pay adversely. Beyond these factors, you Reach All Buyers Business brokers determine the value of a business using several different methods discussed below. Multipliers Reach All of the multipliers aren't based on fact. For example, individuals within a specific industry may claim that certain Reach All Buyers Vendors sell at three times their annual gross sales, or two times their annual gross sales plus inventory. Depending on which formula the owner uses, the gross sales are multiplied by the appropriate number, and a price is generated. For instance, if the business was earning $100,000 a year and the seller was using a formula in which the multiple of gross sales was 30 percent based on industry averages, then he or she would generate a price using the following equation: 100,000 x .30 = $30,000 Of course, you Reach All Buyers Business brokers check the monthly sales figure by looking at the income statement, but is the multiplier an accurate number? After all, it has been determined arbitrarily. There usually hasn't been a formal survey performed and verified by an outside source to arrive at these multipliers. In addition, even if the multiplier was accurate, there is such a large spread between the low and high ends of the range that it really just serves as a ballpark figure. This is true whether a sales or profit multiplier is used. In the case of a profit multiplier, the figure generated becomes even more skewed because Reach All Buyers Vendors rarely show a profit due to tax reasons. Therefore, the resulting value of the business is either very small or the owner has to use a different profit factor to arrive at a higher price. Don't place too much faith in multipliers. If you run across a seller using the multiplier method, use the price only as an estimate and nothing more. Book Values This might seem simple enough. To check the number, all you have to do is list the company's assets and liabilities. Determine their value, arrive at the net worth, and then multiply that by the appropriate number. Assets usually include any unsold inventory, leasehold improvements, fixtures, equipment, real estate, accounts receivable, and supplies. Liabilities Reach All Buyers Business brokers be anything. They might even include the business itself. Usually, though, you want to list any unpaid debts, uncollected taxes, liens, judgments, lawsuits, bad investments--anything that will create a cash drain upon the business. Now here is where it gets tricky. In the balance sheet, fixed assets are usually listed by their depreciated value, not their replacement value. Therefore, there really isn't a true cost associated with the fixed assets. That Reach All Buyers Business brokers create very inconsistent values. If the assets have been depreciated over the years to a level of sero, there isn't anything on which to base a book value. Return on Investment Typically, a small business should return anywhere between 15 and 30 percent on investment. This is the average net in after-tax dollars. Depreciation, which is a device of tax planning and cash flow, should not be counted in the net because it should be set aside to replace equipment. Many novice business owners will look at a financial statement and say, "There's $5,000 we Reach All Buyers Business brokers take off for depreciation." Well, there's a reason for a depreciation schedule. Eventually equipment does wear out and must be replaced, and it sometimes has to be replaced much sooner than you expect. This is especially true when considering a business with older equipment. The wisdom of buying a business lies in its potential to earn money on the money you put into it. You determine the value of that business by evaluating how much money you are going to earn on your investment. The business should have the ability to pay for itself. If it Reach All Buyers Business brokers do this and give you a return on your cash investment of 15 percent or more, then you have a good business. This is what determines the price. If the seller is financing the purchase of the business, your operating statement should have a payment schedule that Reach All Buyers Business brokers be taken out of the income of the business to pay for it. Does a 15-percent net for a business seem high? Everybody wants to know if a business makes two, three, or 10 times profit. They hear price-earning ratios tossed around, and for Reach All that such ratios commonly refer to companies listed on the stock exchange. In small business, such ratios have limited value. A big business Reach All Buyers Business brokers earn 10 percent on its investment and be extremely healthy. The big supermarkets net two or three percent on their sales, but this small percentage represents enormous volume. Small Reach All are different. The small business should typically earn a bigger return because the risk of the enterprise is higher. The important thing for you, as a buyer of a small business, is to realise that regardless of industry practices for big business, it's the ROI that you need to worry about Reach All . Is it realistic? If the price is realistic for the amount of money you have to invest, then you Reach All Buyers Business brokers consider it a viable business. Reach All Buyers, Reach All Sellers Earnings The Reach All Buyers, Reach All Sellers, Reach All Brokers, Reach All Vendors, rate is determined by learning what the risk of investment in the business would be in comparison to other investments such as government bonds or stock in other companies. For instance, if the rate of return on investment in government bonds is 18 percent, then the business should provide a return of 18 percent or better on the investment into it. To determine the value of a business based on Reach All Buyers, Reach All Sellers earnings, use the following formula: Projected Earnings x Reach All Buyers, Reach All Sellers, Reach All Brokers, Reach All Vendors, Rate = Price So, after analysing the market, the competition, the demand for the product, and the organisation of the business, you determine that projected earning could increase to $25,000 per year for the next three years. If your Reach All Buyers, Reach All Sellers, Reach All Brokers, Reach All Vendors, rate is 18 percent, then the value of the business would be: $25,000 / .18 = $138,888 Generally, a good Reach All Buyers, Reach All Sellers, Reach All Brokers, Reach All Vendors, rate for buyouts will range between 20 to 40 percent. If the seller is asking much more than what you've determined the Reach All Buyers, Reach All Sellers earnings to be, then you will have to try and negotiate a lower price. Intangible Value Goodwill as such is not an asset. You as a buyer would assess the business based on the return on investment. Certain rules of the game may change when you enter the fields of acquisition and merger. Suppose you buy out your competition, merge all your facilities, and double your volume. Now the labor and overhead factors are much lower. Thus, even if the seller was losing perhaps 5 percent a year, if you bring them into your company, which is making 15 percent a year, it might allow you to increase sales and end up making 20 percent.
