Dear Business
Owner,
We are working with many
financially qualified potential buyers who are specifically looking
to buy childcare centers. The acquisition criteria they have are
generally:
·
Licensed
capacity should be greater than 140 children. (Or, the facility can
be easily expanded to grow to this size.)
·
Located in the greater metro Atlanta
area, other metro area of Georgia, and North Georgia.
·
Prefer buying
the business and the real estate, but would consider just buying the
business.
·
Centers in
financial trouble considered if real estate is
included.
We also work in the Carolinas
to sell larger Childcare centers that are doing well and therefore
will have potential buyers from across the nation. We also sell
private schools in Georgia and the Carolinas.
At some point, every business owner
leaves his or her business - by the owner's choice or otherwise.
The
key is to know when to sell. We understand that there are many
personal and business issues that effect your timing decision to
sell.
Is selling your business important to you
and your family's goals in the next few years? Should you sell your
business now or in a few years? Issues
include:
·
If you do not
have the same focus, intensity, and passion for managing the
day-to-day details of the business as you had when you were growing
the business, will the business suffer and its value
suffer?
·
Are you
willing to continue with the intrinsic risks of business ownership
that can reduce its value? (Risks include: economic slow down, key
employees leaving, new competitors, fewer young children in the
area, declining health ...)
·
Will growing
the business for a few years before selling it really make you much
more money than if you sell now?
These questions are almost misleadingly
simple to ask, but to answer them requires thought and action on
your part.
Do you find yourself thinking about
getting out of your business? Are you wondering how to groom a
successor? Is passing your company on to your children becoming
increasingly unlikely? Are you getting tired of fighting the
alligators and want a different challenge?
If you can answer yes to any of these
questions, it is time for you contact us. No pressure and no hard
sell, just an opportunity to confidentially discuss if you should
sell now or create an Exit Plan for you to sell
later.
CREATE AN EXIT PLAN
If you don't know how to get started, you
are not alone. Few, if
any, business owners know how to leave their business in
style.
Leaving in style means leaving your
business to the successor you choose, for the price you want at a
time you pick. An Exit
Plan makes all that possible. You may be thinking of selling to an
insider, such as a key employee, co-owner, or child. To get top
dollar for a business, it should be sold to an outsider – who
normally has more cash & the ability to pay
more.
There are four ways to get top dollar for
your business:
·
Determine the
business value now. Will the sale of your business help you obtain
financial security?
·
Choose when to
sell.
·
Take action to
increase the value of the business.
·
Use the proper
sales process to sell your business.
If you are interested in selling your
company, now or in the future, please call or e-mail us at your
convenience to confidentially explore your options. We will provide
information about the current status of the business sale
marketplace for childcare centers, the process of selling a
business, an approximate market value of your company, and
techniques to save taxes on a business sale - all to help you arrive
at a decision.
A Thought for You to
Consider
