What will happen to your business

October 9, 2018

What Business Owners Need to KnowMost business owners have a vision of what will happen to their business when they are ready to retire or leave their business.

For some, that vision means they will transfer ownership to family or sell the business for maximum value.

What most business owners don't want to see is their business windows shuttered up and doors closed, or to have assets sold off and the business, that they worked so hard to build, torn apart and destroyed.

Yet, this scenario happens way too often for small business owners and it's going to get worse. Why? Competition.

In Iowa alone, 23,000 small business owners are older than 50. And 6 out of 10 business owners plan to sell within the next 10 years. Now think about those numbers across the United States. The competition will be strong. How will your business stack up?

Just like in your day-to-day business, there are elements you can change and influence NOW that will make your business more competitive when you want to sell it.

The great news? These same elements, what we call the 8 Key Drivers of Value, are not only ones that will make your business more valuable when you want to sell it, but also more enjoyable to own now.

If these elements are unknown, it can hurt you. If your business doesn't understand and strategize your plan to maximize value you will miss out on opportunities to influence the 8 Key drivers. Don't look back and think, I wish I would have known then what I know now.
