You are ready for life's next adventure, but you're not sure if this is the right time to sell? As the economy rebounds the demand for quality business acquisitions is increasing. During the decline there was a significant reduction in the number of good businesses coming on the market. However, a broad range of qualified buyers are ready, willing and able to buy, and many existing businesses are seeking to grow through acquisitions. This pent up demand for good businesses, along with the reduced supply and easing of credit markets means sellers can capture very attractive prices when the transaction is prepared and structured properly.
Layoffs and downsizing increase the pool of potential buyers
Investment groups with "dry powder" are now looking for opportunities
Many businesses owners postponed selling until economy rebounds
Increased demand and reduced supply enhances value of good businesses
Other considerations:
Commercial Lending Environment - Access to capital for business acquisitions has been improving dramatically. This is great news for anyone interested in selling or buying a business.
Favorable Capital Gains Rates: Capital gains rates are at near historic lows of 15%, for now. This can effect the after tax proceeds many business sellers will realize. It can take from several months to a year to sell the average business. For those business owners thinking of selling, beginning the process now could mean greater net proceeds at closing.
Regardless of the capital structure or finance considerations, professionally crafted transactions and creative deal structuring is the key.
