Selling my business

Recommended Posts

Moving back to New Zealand in September and looking to possibly sell my business as is or flick everything off individually.

Any pointers would be appreciated on the pros and cons.

Been running full time for approx 3 yrs successfully.

Many thanks

The challenge with the likes of 'Business Vendors' is they give the vendor an over-inflated idea of the value of the business to hook the vendor, then look for a mug to buy it.

A business only has value if it runs, profitably, without too much or any hands on activity by the owner. Otherwise all you're buying is a job.

A standard benchmark for the value of a business is 2-3x profit plus the value of assets.

 

I'd go with a sale of the bits. You might get someone to buy your database. I wouldn't. Nothing personal. It's just that without you introducing and hand holding I'd just be A.N.Other person.
