Selling:
Start HereIs it time to sell your business?
Every business owner reaches their limit at some point, for any number of reasons. Maybe you’re finally ready to relax and retire. Maybe you have goals you’d still like to achieve before retirement, but need to free up both time and money. Or, perhaps your business has reached a point where it’s poised for fresh leadership to take it to the next level.
Whatever your motivation, you may sense that the day is coming when it will be time to move on. Or, you may be ready to leave today, but don’t know where to start.
At Allan Taylor & Co. we meet you where you’re at.
A few quick questions to ask yourself:
- Does owning your business make you feel energized?
- Are you up for the challenge of facing new competition or looming changes in your industry?
- Do you have the desire and the resources to launch a new product or service, add a new division to your organization, or embark on a new strategic direction with your business?
- Would you be willing to invest additional money into your business — or take on more risk by raising capital — in order to remain competitive five years from now?
- How would you characterize the primary financial metrics in your business, like sales, gross margins and net income? Are they consistently growing every year, or have things stagnated?
- Do you take extended vacations away from your business, then come back with renewed energy and inspiration for rolling out fresh ideas and tackling big projects?
If you answered “No” to all or most of these questions, it may be time to think about selling your business.
It starts with an
informed decision.
