Download or read book Built to Sell written by John Warrillow and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2012-12-24 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Run your company. Don’t let it run you. Most business owners started their company because they wanted more freedom—to work on their own schedules, make the kind of money they deserve, and eventually retire on the fruits of their labor. Unfortunately, according to John Warrillow, most owners find that stepping out of the picture is extremely difficult because their business relies too heavily on their personal involvement. Without them, their company—no matter how big or profitable—is essentially worthless. But the good news is that entrepreneurs can take specific steps—no matter what stage a business is in—to create a valuable, sellable company. Warrillow shows exactly what it takes to create a solid business that can thrive long into the future.

Download or read book Sell Your Business and Profit written by James Montgomery and published by . This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selling a business is not like putting a sign out front of the building and putting an ad on the internet.Sometimes the seller of a business has one foot in and one foot out of a business because she has already made the decision to sell and retire. Unfortunately, that business is not worth as much without working on the sales to reverse that trend.Sometimes a sale occurs because of a horrible personal situation. That business is not worth as much as what it could have been with some simple planning.Families sometimes own a business but have never talked about how it transfers from one generation to another. As a result the sale price is less and more tax is paid than necessary by the generation that is selling.All businesses have six systems that make them work better and worth more to a buyer. No one wants to buy a business to have a job. Well some might but they won't pay what the business could sell for.Businesses can plan to preserve their knowledge base and transfer that knowledge to a new buyer team. Businesses that have systems, owners who work less than forty hours a week, and are cash flow machines are worth far more than most businesses that are sold. It takes time and decisions to get businesses in that condition.Sell Your Business And Profit sets out the basics and blueprint for that result. Those basics and blueprint are the secrets to the business owner maximizing the sales price to achieve his or her dreams.After selling and buying over $200,000,000 in businesses over the last few years, I have developed systems and a methodology to increase the price of a business by changing the business operations. From finding new customers to getting customers to buy more and come back more often to how work is delegated, systems can make a huge difference. Businesses that have prepared are easier to sell faster and for more money. Or the owner has a cash flow machine that perhaps does not need to be sold to achieve those dreams.Check out the special bonus available in the book.GET IT NOW at www.sellyourbizandprofit.com

Download or read book Exit Rich written by Michelle Seiler Tucker and published by Greenleaf Book Group. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too many entrepreneurs push off planning for the sale of their business until the last moment. But for a business to sell for what it’s really worth—or even more—owners need to prepare for the sale from the very start. In Exit Rich, author and mergers and acquisitions authority Michelle Seiler Tucker joins forces with Sharon Lechter, finance expert and author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, to create a must-have guide for all business owners—whether they’re gearing up to sell a business now or just getting started building out their company into something to sell for a profit in the future. Seiler Tucker’s twofold approach to selling your business for maximum profit combines two of the most powerful elements of her mergers and acquisitions toolkit: the “ST GPS Exit Model” to help business owners set goals for the sale before their business hit the market, and the “6 P Method” to help them objectively evaluate their business’s worth, before their potential buyers do. Combined, these tools provide invaluable insight into the process of preparing a business for sale, finding the right buyers, and staging the sale itself. Throughout the book, Sharon Lechter’s wisdom peppers each chapter in the “Mentoring Corner” section, providing forward-thinking entrepreneurs with the perspective that they need to take control of their business’s future and exit rich. This book is a rich resource for any business owner looking to: • Objectively evaluate their business before a sale • Improve their chances of finding the right buyer • Sell their business for maximum profit
