A business owner’s exit is a once-in-a-lifetime transformation. We’re not talking about selling a house or a car. This is a complex process that requires the technical expertise of a team of trusted advisors. The key to any successful business exit is planning. It must begin with personal reflection on the part of the owner regarding what he or she wants out of the business exit. Only then can the owner, along with his advisors, design an appropriate exit strategy. The five (5) planning steps outlined in this article are designed to help business owners define their personal goals, understand all the transfer options and work with an advisory team to execute a successful business exit plan.

Step 1: Define the Personal Goals of the Owner

Since personal goals intertwine so closely with the daily existence of a private business owner, it only makes sense to begin with the basic albeit crucial question, “What do I want to accomplish with my business exit?” The answer seems obvious–make the most money after taxes and fees. Often, however, it isn’t this simple. Owners have nourished and raised their businesses from infancy; they typically care a lot about who will take the reigns. Family members might also be involved in the business. Their fate will also be dependent upon what the business owner ultimately decides.

Aside from money, other motives for a business exit can include “transfers to family”, “transfers to employees”, “transfers to co-owners”, “partial transfers to gain some liquidity today but still run the company’s day-to-day business”, or “an initial public offering”. The decision often comes down to a question of liquidity. A substantial source of liquidity outside the business makes for a much easier choice.

However, more often than not an owner’s wealth is tied up in the business. The owner must therefore balance his financial and interpersonal goals in order to find the best possible exit strategy. Therefore, an assessment of the range of values for the business is the crucial next step.

Step 2: Understand that a Range of Values Exist for the Business

The value of a privately-held business depends largely upon who buys it. It’s not as simple a 1000 s watching the ticker tape for today’s stock price. The type of buyer can impact both the price placed on the shares (or assets) of the business and the tax consequences to the selling owner. Value (net transfer price) is therefore a “range concept”.

“Internal” transfers to employees, family, and co-owners provide fewer dollars up front, but allow for greater “control” of the business, “continued income”, and flexible timing and tax characterization of payments to the exiting business owner. By contrast, “External” transfers to other industry players, financial groups, or by initial public offering command more liquidity “up front” while the owner relinquishes more control over the Company and the timing and tax characterization of payments. A closer examination of the transfer options can help an exiting business owner determine the right balance of money and control over the future of the business.

Step 3: Examine the Options Available for the Transfer of Shares

There are seven (7) primary purchasers of privately-held business stock (or assets). Below are listed the Parties to the Transaction and Types of Transactions Available (samples; not a complete list)

Internal Parties:

Employees – Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
Charity – Charitable Remainder Trust
Family - Gifting Program
Co-owners – Leveraged Buyout

External Parties:
Financial Groups – Recapitalization
Industry Buyers – Acquisition (at Synergy Value)
Initial Public Offerings – IPO (at Public Market Value)

Based on the primary goals defined in step one (1), an exiting business owner chooses the “party” to whom the business will be transferred. That designee, once chosen, will determine the limits or expansion of the Value. At the end of this phase, the process comes full circle as the Value (after taxes and fees) is matched against the owner’s goals. If the two meet as one, congratulations! A successful business exit strategy has been devised. Now it’s time to execute.

Step 4: Provide Full Financial Disclosure to the Buyer

This step isn’t going to be easy on the business owner. Assembling financial records and presenting them to a buyer/successor is a very time consuming, very personal survey of how the business is run. It can be huge psychological block for many exiting owners. Remember, any savvy buyer (or successor) to a business will need to understand the financial condition of the Company. When an owner fesses up to any “creative accounting” they may have employed over the years to help build wealth and reduce tax bills, the process goes smoother. Full disclosure is the best path to a seamless process. There is an old saying – “if the truth will kill a deal, then there is no deal”.

Not only that, but it may reward the owner in the end. Full disclosure is not about passing judgment, but instead affords the buyer (or successor) an opportunity to assess the business’s true profit potential. The astute exiting business owner will recognize this in advance. Why? Because most “creative accounting” practices depress the profitability of a business. Clear those away and the Buyer will recognize a higher earning power and in turn a higher Value for the Company.

Step 5: Assembling the Advisory Team – No One Should Go It Alone

Planning and executing a successful business exit strategy is a complex process that requires the technical expertise of a team of trusted advisors. It’s not the time to take short cuts or pinch pennies. Time and money should be invested in assembling the right team of advisors; a successful business exit is more than worth it. It should be viewed as an investment in success.

We must understand that business owners are independent “self-starters”. If they weren’t, their businesses wouldn’t be so successful and we wouldn’t be talking to them. But some of their strengths and characteristics can lead many business owners to attempt the 1000 “do-it-yourself” business exit strategy. This can create an unnecessary drain of time and money on both the business owner and their business.

A business owner’s exit is a once-in-a-lifetime transformation. It is an important milestone that is sure to provide any business owner with one of the most challenging yet satisfying sense of accomplishments.

So remember, planning is the key to any successful business exit because a proactive approach to an Exit Strategy is the only approach to a successful Exit Strategy. If you’ve come to the end of this discussion, you’re already ahead of the game.

Advertising on India-classifieds.in is valuable for just about any business offering products or services. Whether these products are offered through ecommerce websites or physical stores, the business owners can see financial gains through advertising on India-classifieds.in. Firstly unlike other advertising opportunities
there is very little risk involved in posting on India-classifieds.in. With the exception of job postings and housing postings in specific markets, advertising is free on India-classifieds.in. Users are asked to agree to the terms of service

Reaching prospective consumers on India-classifieds.in

Another reason why posting advertisements for products or services in India on India-classifieds.in is so worthwhile is the likelihood of reaching a large audience of potential customers. A review of the India-classifieds.in fact sheet reveals pertinent information regarding the amount of traffic the website receives. According to this information India-classifieds.in receives approximately one hundred thousands page views each month with ten thousand people using India-classifieds.in each month. With so many visitors using India-classifieds.in each month the advertising possibilities are limitless, however, there are no guarantee any of these visitors will be interested in your products or services. Like any marketing campaign, your advertisements on India-classifieds.in must be intriguing, informative and in a location where you will reach your target audience.

Finding Your Target Audience on India-classifieds.in

We’ve already discussed the number of visitors using India-classifieds.in each month but the key to taking advantage of these numbers is to target your advertising in a way aimed at reaching your target audience as opposed to a wide audience of individuals who have no specific interest in your products or services. 1000 It is much more worthwhile to reach a small audience of those with a keen interest in your products or services than to reach a much larger audience of those who are not interested. Those who have an interest in your products or services are your target audience.

The key to reaching your target audience on India-classifieds.in is placing your advertisement in the most appropriate locations. India-classifieds.in has a specific section for businesses to advertise their services. This section is broken down into a number of categories. Those who are in the business of computer repair would be wise to place their advertisement in the computer section as opposed to the automotive section because individuals looking for computer help will naturally migrate to the computer section. It may sometimes be appropriate to place an advertisement in more than one section. This is acceptable as long as it does not cross the line to spamming the section. If there is not a specific section for the products or services offered by your business there are a couple of options.

Business owners can place an advertisement in the section for small business

advertisements where it might be found by those doing a search in this section. Alternately the business owner can contact India-classifieds.in to suggest the addition of a new category. They might be willing to oblige if they believe this category warrants an addition.

Make a catalog of all the points that you would like to mention in the ad and think of the variety of information that a ordinary guy who reads your classified will want to know.

If you run a home-based business, you probably already realize that it requires a tremendous amount of effort to keep everything running smoothly. Ideally, competent professionals should manage certain parts of a successful business such as financing, product creation, and promotion. But small business entrepreneurs often manage their businesses entirely on their own, and must take care of everything themselves, frequently after putting in 8 hours at a regular job and dealing with family obligations. Thus, it’s not surprising that many home business entrepreneurs try to find cost-effective ways to have some of their business chores taken care of by professionals.

Outsourcing the accounting work is a fast and simple way to free up a good deal of time, especially if you are not well versed in financial matters and have to spend a lot of effort and time to research legal issues and tax laws. The next thing that often comes under consideration is outsourcing online marketing, and while some home based business entrepreneurs may not realize how this could increase profits, it’s worth remembering that one entrepreneur may develop products in their garage, while another may promote those same products from their spare bedroom.

Many home based business owners have established strategic relationships with professional freelancers in order to reach their internet marketing goals. Online marketing is made easy for small businesses since there are now many websites that seek to team up freelancers who will perform a certain job with companies or individuals who need to get these jobs done.

If you, as a small business owner, can not afford the high cost of hiring an professional Internet marketing service, you may be able to save money by delegating your online marketing to freelancers. Freelance professionals will submit proposals for the work you want performed, including cost estimates. The pitfall of utilizing a private freelancer rests in the fact that you can not receive a guarantee that this individual will be dependable and not cause trouble for your company by engaging in dishonorable practices, such as spamming or posting unsolicited commercial ads in areas where they are clearly not supposed to do so. 1000

To mitigate this danger, the small business owner eager to outsource its Internet marketing tasks may opt to engage the services of professional outsourcing companies that will match freelancers with small business owners. In all probability, the freelance service will have investigated the freelancer and bound them to a contract specifying the details of the services they are providing; this mitigates your risk with outsourcing your Internet marketing to someone else.

So many people, at some point in their lives, think of starting a business themselves. Unfortunately that’s as far as they get, thinking about it. Perhaps fear of losing money rather than making it stops them or they may be unsure how how to get started with their business idea.

With a traditional business model there always are startup and running costs which can eat into your savings and add to the fear of failure. Thankfully, due to the internet, it is possible to start and run a business online without the necessity of a large capital investment.

When you start a business online, it really is possible to only have to pay for your computer and internet access. No further expenditure is necessary and the absence of startup capital is and incredible bonus. With no investment there is no fear of failure although with no financial commitment sometimes people do not work as hard as they could do.

There are many possible business models and activities to pursue on the internet and my own favorite is internet marketing.

Although internet marketing can be started with no investment it is possible to reinvest profits into your online business to help it grow and prosper more. Once your new business starts to generate an income it is good practice and cost effective to create a small budget to promote it more.

Internet marketing usually is based on affiliate business, promoting products that pay a commission. While the commissions may only be in the region of $20, the business model allows you to create multiple streams of income from different sources.

Over time, this multiple income sources begin to add up until the total daily commissions earned from different product sales can be considerable. Daily income levels of $500, $1000 or more are not uncommon.

As with all business, action is the secret ingredient. Great ideas are nothing without effort to manifest them. Now with the internet, it is possible to start a business online without startup money. It takes your dedication and effort and both of those don’t cost you anything.

One other facet to success in any business is of course, experience. The more experience you have th 1000 e more chance of success you have. Internet marketing is no different in that respect.

There obviously is a period of learning although often people start to become profitable quite quickly and the sheer joy of realizing you are starting to make money is a great boost and encourages you to try harder.

Often, not concentrating on one particular market for long enough is a reason for failure. Hopping from one business direction to another can result in frustration and a low profit potential. A clear focus on one market is the best way to not only make a profitable business but also gain the valuable experience for future campaigns.

There are many requirements of banks when lending to small businesses to include immaculate credit, positive cash flow (profitability) and adequate collateral.

However, not all borrowers have to meet those ridged standards. There are some loan products that, depending on the collateral, do not require stellar credit or two to three years of profitability.

There are three major loan products that small businesses can take advantage without meeting all the major lending requirements mentioned above:

Account Receivable Factoring. Called invoice factoring, where a business owner, who has generated customers, completed jobs or orders for these customers and is just waiting to be paid, can factor these receivables or invoices for cash now – giving the business owner working capital to generate more business, complete more jobs, pay suppliers or make payroll. Banks usually lend 80% of approved invoice amounts then recoup their advance (loan) plus a small fee when the customer pays the invoice. Since these lenders are more concerned about the business being paid from the customer, they do not look very hard at the business or business owner but more at the creditworthiness of the business’s customer as it is their ability to pay and credit that matter in these lending decision. Lastly, since these lenders (accounts receivable factors) now have a stake in collecting from your business’s customers, they will also help to ensure timely collections – further saving the business owner time and expense.

Purchase Order Financing. Where a business has landed a customer and has signed a contract that outlines what the business will provide and the payment for those products or services. However, if the business finds itself short of working capital to complete the job or order, there are lenders who will front the money needed to get the job done – to purchase inventory, engage a manufacturer or hire more labor. The business gets the cash to complete the order – then, when completed and the customer pays, the lenders receives payment for the upfront advance plus a small fee while the business owners gets to keep nearly all the profits. Again, the underwriting decision is based on the strength of the business’s customer and not on the strength of the business owner.
1000
Business Cash Advances. Many businesses accept credit cards as a form of payment. If a business can show a history (at least four months) of accepting credit cards – many lenders will advance against FUTURE credit card sales. This means that these lenders will provide the business with needed working capital for growth and expansion. These advances are repaid from a small portion of future credit card sales (usually around 5%). This still leaves the business with 95% of these same future sales for their continuing operations. The real bonus comes as the repayment of these advances are not based on a fixed monthly payment but a small percentage of future credit card sales. Thus, if the business has a slow month, they are not straddled with a huge fixed payment but will still only pay around 5% of whatever is collected from those future credit card sales.

When the bank or lender underwrites these alternative loans, they are not too concerned about the strength of the business or business owner but in the strength of converting those assets into payments. The idea is to leverage business assets for cash that can be used to grow the business – leading to a stronger company who can then meet other stringent lending requirements in the future.

With the devastating waves of recession ravaging the economies of the world and leaving millions jobless in their wake, the home has now evolved from being just where the family stays to being the place where business is. In the recent decades, many people have opted to depart from working in an office and serving under a boss to marketing their talents and skills from home, with no boss other than their own. 20% of all new small businesses are already being operated out of the home, and this percentage is expected to continuously grow over the coming decades.

Many people start home based-businesses as part-time ventures or source of extra income and eventually expand it into a full time business after the market for the business develops and grows. Most home-based businesses are founded by women and usually get other family members involved either from the start or after growth and expansion. This is so because operating a home-based business normally needs greater amounts of time, energy and money than most jobs.

There are almost as many kinds of home-based businesses as there are normal businesses. The variety of home-based businesses may range from service-oriented child care businesses to product-oriented craft outlets. Additional examples consist of farming, catering, specialty mail-order, home horticulture, and computer software consulting, woodworking and bed and breakfast establishments.

There are many things that can entice people to engaging a home-based business. They may include indulging in the personal satisfaction of making their own decisions, being their own boss, and expressing their own thoughts and ideas. People that establish home-based businesses may come from a wide variety of groups, like homemakers, single parents, youth, dislocated workers, hobbyists and people interested in earning more income.

The sense of independence and personal satisfaction are two bonuses that may be derived from operating a home-based business which some even value more that the earnings. Such feat of putting up and operating a successful home-based business however, is but a simple task. Complete commitment to the business and its needs are necessary. Me 1000 eting these various business needs such as customers, suppliers, and employees may greatly limit your independence. Home-based businesses require a great deal of sacrifice, because it is often difficult to balance business and family needs.

Factors to Consider in Starting Your Own Home-Based Business
Many factors are to be considered before establishing a business in your home. Does making a business out of your home seem sensible? What effects will the business you have in mind have on your family? Is the demand for the product or service you are planning to offer sufficient? What price should you charge for your products or services? These are but just some of the many questions one has to answer before starting up a home-based business. And these questions can be answered through writing a sound business plan.

A business plan can be the best guide when putting up your own home-based business. It is a basic description of the goals and objectives of your planned business and how you intend to realize them. The business plan will allow you to answer all the questions you may encounter during the endeavor even before actually starting your business. Also keep in mind that priorities need to be set and you need to manage your time effectively so your business life and family life can be in equilibrium.

Managing a home-based business in many respects is similar to managing any other business. There is however, the need to explore certain circumstances that are special and unique to home-based businesses. The analysis of the impacts on the family as well as the rest of the advantages and disadvantages of operating a home-based business is a must in the decision process of whether or not to start a business in your home.

There are of course both advantages and disadvantages in starting a business in your home. And with the home being the haven of the family, most of these pros and cons will directly or indirectly impact the family. Even though having your own business inevitably involves the need for a great deal of your time, money and effort, it should never come at the expense of your family.

These days, small-scale entrepreneurs are quickly gaining ground and popularity. If you really want to start your own business, take a look at the list of small business ideas in this article and you might just find one that is ideal for you.

Putting up a business can be a little daunting, especially when you consider the big businesses exerting dominance in your neighborhood. However, that doesn’t mean your dream of starting your own business is doomed.

Our list contains a lot of interesting and exciting business ventures that require little capital and yet bring in big profits. Choose from the list of small business ideas below and get started!

1) Buy and sell on Ebay.

This is a good small business idea if you’re into shopping and if you have a good eye for products that will sell. Think about it. You don’t have to build a store or rent a kiosk. You don’t even have to leave home, or even your office, to operate this business.

All you need is a computer and reliable Internet connection. Who doesn’t have both these days? You can concentrate on a specific kind of product (e.g. designer bags) or branch out into different areas (e.g. jewelry, cars).

2) Offer tutoring services.

Another concept that made it to my list of small business ideas is tutoring. What subjects are you good at? Math? English? If you are somewhat successful academically, I suggest you give tutoring a try.

This gig usually pays well, depending on who your clients are. You can start with the people you already know. Is your friend flunking Algebra? Or is your co-worker’s daughter a little behind her Science? Don’t hesitate to offer your tutoring services. Who knows just how far that will get you?

3) Serve the dogs.

People have become too lazy to walk their dogs or give them their baths. You can take advantage of that! If you have a way with animals, why don’t you start walking or bathing your neighbors’ dogs?

Not only will this help you earn cash, it will also help you get your daily dose of healthy exercise. Besides, you don’t have to walk or bathe dogs forever. Someday, you can hire other people to d 1000 o the task for you. Then you can just sit back and relax for the commission to roll in.

There is nothing embarrassing about turning to this simple list of small business ideas for inspiration. Most entrepreneurs I know are happier with their ventures now than with their previous jobs. So if you’re thinking of starting a business of your own, there’s nothing wrong with testing the waters by vying for a small one first.
