3 My Best Advice When Selling Your Business Along with being a business broker I am also a licensed commercial appraiser and licensed mortgage broker and real estate broker. Every business should be structured to sell from conception. Tax laws are always changing but at the end of the day it's not what you make but what you keep that counts. Your business should be structured to take advantage of the capital gains exemption for selling shares in a Canadian company. Banks/lenders will not finance good will. So own your building or location. The income from your business will substantiate the value of your building from an income approach and give the banks something to secure to help a buyer finance the purchase of your business. The terms make the deal by that I mean a sale can be structured to minimize both the buyers and sellers costs while taking away from the tax man and the lenders finance charges. All done legally of course. Both buyer and seller can benefit from the knowledge an experienced business broker can bring to the table. All the best for 2021 Stay Safe Larry Dec 03, 2020 10:34 posted by Larry Matthews 1 Response Share Report

3 Email Change Notification Its been a blast BizON but we need to say bye. BizON will now be doing business as Buy and Sell a Business. For those wondering why, let me explain: 1) bizon is associated with a Russian gun 2) bizon is associated with a dog fighting cult. This obviously doesnt align with our values. Moreover, being named BizON actually weakened our organic search ranking. Our stakeholders deserve better, so we made a bold move. Changing our name after 6 years is a big step, but its a necessary step that shows our commitment to evolve and grow into an organization that adds value to the world by empowering people to love what they do. Also, by the end of the week we will have new corporate email addresses ending with @buyandsellabusiness.com. Please use all new email addresses starting the week of 8/24/2020. As backup we changed the email settings of our old account and all the emails starting the week of 8/24/2020 will be forwarded to our new email addresses, but you will receive replies from our new email addresses, including all automated emails within our marketplace. Moreover, please ensure to whitelist all email addresses associated with @buyandsellabusiness.com to avoid missing out on important communication. We've created step-by-step instructions on how to do this: https://buyandsellabusiness.com/how-to-whitelist-emails Looking forward to answering any questions in the comment area, and looking forward to working together as we continue to strengthen our economy and rebound from such a challenging time.

12 Wall Street Deals Get Done Faster Than Small Business M&A A great question was asked by John Hyde on WhatTheyThink? And I think my answer is something that every entrepreneur and business owner should see. He asked: How is it possible that corporate giants AT&T and Time Warner reach an agreement on the terms of a merger in only two months while many small business owners languish over deals for six months, nine months, or even years? My answer is simple: Corporate giants are more organized, prepared and they engage in effective communication to avoid wasting time. SMEs, entrepreneurs and business brokers should take note in order to move deals quicker! Best of luck selling, NP Jan 12, 2017 21:15 posted by Nunzio Presta 9 Responses Share Report
13 Help for my distressed business In USA, New Jersey. Me: stupidly thought I could remove 900K from my thriving business to build my dream home without damaging the business. Fast forward to today and I stand to lose both without an investment. Could use a private equity loan or willing to take on partner. There is a lot of debt but with proper level of investment (not as much as you think) turnaround would occur within 9 months or so. 2015 sales: 6 million with a staff of 4 (inclusive of me, not drawing a salary) - we are a wholesale distributor of tools, test equipment, safety and MRO supplies. Two e-commerce websites, ebay store, amazon store and we sell several products directly to Amazon. Company is a proprietorship which expedites the need for a solution. Would like to incorporate after we are fixed. Jan 03, 2017 12:57 posted by HVACRTOOLS 8 Responses Share Report
