If for some reason the Generational Equity graphic above does not load, here are the bullet points:

Main idea: The sale of your business is the single most important, and perhaps the largest, financial event that occurs in your life. You must have an exit strategy, because selling at the wrong time or without the right information can substantially lower the value of your business.

On the Rise: The rebound in M&A activity is expected to strengthen significantly this year.

Key Questions:

  • Do you know how much your business is worth?
  • Do you know what you need for your financial future?
  • If someone knocked on your door with a checkbook, are you ready?
  • Do you know what type of model is right for you?

Factors that Determine the Outcome: Of the three major variables that impact business sales price, you can only control one – Your Business!

Business Maximization: Things that maximize your business and make it buyer ready…

  • Top Line Performance
  • Bottom Line Performance
  • Performance Ratios
  • Decision Making Capacity
  • Work Force
  • Reputation
  • Age of Company

The process: For each business owner, Generational Equity prepares a customized marketing strategy that presents the business to the most appropriate potential buyers while maintaining strict client confidentiality.
