Buy an Existing Business or Start from Scratch? www.DjbRealty.com

The question most new entrepreneurs will face early in their journey will be the question of buying an existing business versus starting one from scratch.

First, I want to take a moment and Congratulate all Entrepreneurs for even reaching this point....it is the first step in a wild journey!

Each respective entrepreneur will have their own set of strengths and weaknesses that will be unique to a business.  However, some of the common threads are casually discussed here.

BUYING A BUSINESS

Pros - Existing Cash Flow!  This is probably the #1 reason why to purchase an established business vs. starting one from scratch.  If financing is being sought, an established business may offer seller held financing and possible SBA or local lending.  The current established customer base gives the new entrepreneur the ability to grow the business from pre-determined level vs. risking if the product or service will be accepted by the local market.  Established build out, permits, licenses, etc. all ready in place will make it easier to enter this market.

Cons - Payment of Goodwill is the main issue with buying an established business.  You more than often will pay a premium for the items listed above, unless you are buying a closed or turnaround business that is currently cash flow negative.

STARTING FROM SCRATCH

Pros - Your Freedom to design, outfit, and market from day 1 to your specific vision.  For those entrepreneurs that MUST have their vision ahead of all else, it is almost a definite decision to start from scratch.  Possible vendor financing of equipment if purchased new...i.e., equipment leasing may gain you leverage in your new business venture.  If done correctly, this can be a less expensive route by only paying for build out, equipment, license, permits, etc.  Goodwill has not been established and thus you are paying for a zero value.

Cons - Will it work?  I have seen many bright eyed entrepreneurs with the golden idea...but the market does not accept the product or service...or worse than that...wont accept it at the necessary pricing to ensure a viable business.  Extensive marketing costs will also be an additional expense as you absolutely MUST advertise heavily in the beginning to get a customer base to breakeven basis as fast as possible or risk the elimination of working capital and thus the viability of the business.

Each entrepreneur is unique and so is each business.  Please take time to consult with your TEAM of advisors to gather an overview of your best road to success.

Double Dip on Horizon?

It is now apparent that there could be a double dip recession on the horizon.  The Fed released statement over the past week and comments from the IMF are issuing concerns for the economy growth rate as a whole.

The question is this.

Did main street ever get out of the FIRST Dip?

Outside of those fortunate enough to purchase homes with FHA at short sale and reo prices, the main issue seems to be a severe lack of liquidity to the average Joe on main street.  However this is the EXACT reason that there are substantial opportunities available for those who can think outside the box.

Let me be very clear.  No person, firm, entity, etc. can predict with 100% certainty of the future economic conditions.  Only the best educated guess can be made from the available statistics and news.

For the entrepreneur with a business plan and a understanding of the level of risk that is within their parameters, this is a historic time.  By factoring in a realistic pro forma business plan and having reserves to withstand the current conditions, this time offers exceptional business purchases at very favorable long term internal rates of return.  

In summary it is the existence of the Double Dip that is giving the current pricing structures that are becoming very favorable for entrepreneurs with a realistic business plan and the ability to leverage risk.

So you Want to be an Entrepreneur?

Ahhh.....being the Boss!  The American Dream!   Cruising on your Yacht, swimming in cash....no worries.

Then you wake up from a good night sleep.

The day starts by writing checks to your vendors, and hoping they clear.

Tackling the repairs to the kitchen equipment before the rush comes in....

Calling customer service to find out why the rain storm knocked out your NFL Ticket 30 minutes before kickoff when you have a packed house...

Negotiating a calm conclusion to the 3 in the morning liquor related "shoving match" that is more of a comic spectacle than a fight.

However........

with all the ups and downs.........

you look up at the store sign and see your name in lights.  All is OK again and you recharge for the next day.

As the days go on, you start to streamline your efforts and become organized.  What once seemed like the "end of your business" situation is now only a thought that is handled in 5 minutes or less.  Your employees are running the day to day operations smoothly and your customers are praising your business as "THE" place to be.

So now you grab your fishing pole, a little bait, turn on the engines and cruise out into the sunset of the golden coast and your tranquility.

You have now arrived.

Welcome to your New World.......

You are an Entrepreneur!

Tampa Bay Bucs ready for a run this year?

I wanted to take a moment (being Sunday and all) and just say a few words on this season of football.  

As my fellow followers are aware, I am a huge Bucs fan, with the Bills a close second.

I am looking forward to the Bucs winning the Super Bowl this year.............

yes I said it.

BUCS to win it all this year!

The schedule is favorable, and the team is fast.  The current coaching staff is ready and hungry.

The pieces are in place.

With attention on Tebow in Denver, the T.O. and Ocho Cinco show in Cincy, NOBODY has their eyes or attention focused on the Bucs.

Just the way I like it........

The Trojan Horse of this season will be the Bucs!

You heard it hear first.......GO BUCS! 

Business acquisition financing in todays market

You have found that perfect business.  The price is right.  The seller will accept your price.

Now you are hit with the realization of how to finance the transaction.

Some ideas to consider would be seller held financing, savings, retirement accounts, family, local banks, regionals, commercial institutions, SBA, private placement, equity, bridge or mezzanine financing, just to name a few.  Each business transaction is unique in nature and you should consult your professional team for your specific transaction to weigh the risks and benefits of each.

Seller financing is becoming the popular choice of first result due to the ease of it.  It also provides confidence to the buyer when the seller is willing to hold a note.  Terms and conditions vary from deal to deal, however it is common to see acceptable ranges from 5 to 10 years with interest rates at favorable rates.

Savings and liquid accounts are normally used for initial down payments, and to qualify for more financing.  Remember that liquid reserves are the lifeblood to your new venture.  If they are not there, the business will most likely fail.

Though local and regional banks have tighter lending requirements, it is still possible to get financing for general working capital, equipment purchases, real estate, etc.  The most important item to complete is a very detailed and realistic business plan.  Remember, a realistic business plan is what the bankers want to see.

SBA is one of the cornerstones to the entrepreneur of today.  You absolutely must know what they offer.  Visit www.SBA.gov for more information.

In summary, you will need to be more creative and work a little harder to get financing for your business.  The market currently is providing exceptional values for those willing and able to work in this tighter lending environment.

Effective pricing of your Business for sale

You have spent the time building a successful business and the time has come for you to exercise your exit strategy which includes the sale of your business.

There are several factors that go into this decision, however the most common is effective pricing.

With so many different variables that can be viewed from multiple points of view, it is imperative to understand that the true price of any asset for sale is;

"A price that is agreed to by both a willing buyer and a willing seller with no outside influences and all factors known"

There are guides and rules of thumb that can be utilized for a starting point though.

Those factors, which should be discussed with your professional team, are items such as EBITA cash flow, predictability of future earnings, length of operation, ability of leveraged finance, customer loyalty, current record keeping, provable financials, reason for sale, just to name a few.

One common misconception is that pricing an asset at a high price and then negotiating from there will yield a higher return on the sale for the seller.   Studies show that the opposite is actually true.

Always discuss your options with your team of professionals to see what option(s) are best suited for your unique situation and goals.
