With a world that is so rich in diversity and culture, it is a shame that so many focus primarily on what they find familiar and do not branch out to experience different things. But not me. My name is Shane Silverstone and I have an amazing treasure trove of imports from around the world. It is very difficult and expensive to find products that suit my tastes because so many businesses do not know how to find and market exotic products that may actually be a hit domestically. For that reason, I have decided to create a blog dedicated to the exciting world of business and imports!

Tips For Increasing The Value Of Your Business When You Are Intending To Sell
Tonya Gomez
If you are a business owner who is looking to do something aside from running your business, there is a good chance that you are looking for someone to buy your business. You probably want someone that is going to be able to run the business well. You also likely want someone that is willing to pay you what your business is worth. In order to ensure that you get a fair buyout, you will need to increase the value of your company as much as possible right before you sell. Here are some tips for increasing that value.
1. Increase Your Profits
The first thing that you want to consider is your current profit level. You will be able to attract better buyers and more money if you can show that you are have increasing profits. Being profitable is good but having increasing profits is very helpful. Look at your current operation and see what obvious cuts you can make to increase profits. As you get closer to the month that you want to sell, make more and more cuts in order to bolster your profitability and look better to buyers.
2. Get Excellent Employees
People who purchase businesses don't necessarily want to have to hire from scratch. Find employees that will understand your company and be dedicated to helping it succeed, even if you no longer own it. You can hire better employees by increasing your soft benefits, such as paid lunches, trips for the employees, snacks, and better technology. Tell your current good employees ahead of time that you will negotiate on their behalf when you sell the company and write into the contract any stipulations that they might want. This can help reduce your turnover and foster goodwill between your current employees and the new owners of your business.
3. Create Solid Processes
Finally, codify everything that you do to make the business succeed and show it to any potential customers. They will be much more interested in purchasing a business for a large amount of money if they feel confident that they will be able to successfully run it even if you are not around. By writing down exactly what you do and how you do it, you can increase the value of your business because the unknowns will be greatly reduced.
