You may be coming close to retirement age or have found you would like to shift into a different career arena. Several small business owners consider their retirement plans to include a transition or sale of their independently-owned business. Maybe you haven\u2019t had the ability to set aside any funds for retirement outside your business. Or your retirement is secure, but you don\u2019t know how to dispose of the appraisal company now. If this is in your future, here are some factors you can measure to ensure a better chance of a successful transition to retirement or sale.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consideration 1:&nbsp; The Value of Your Business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a valuable appraisal business worth selling? There are many ways to outline and assign value to your business. First, review your hard assets. Do you own a physical building space\/structure? Or do you work out of your home? Does your company employ staff, or are you a sole proprietor and operator? Compiling an accurate valuation of the business should include these items in your figures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>A solid and successful operating model: This should include historical data and profitability detail.&nbsp;<\/li><li>List of hard assets and hardware: Computers, equipment, furniture add to the value of your company.<\/li><li>Recurring or long-standing business\/client partnerships: Dependable relationships guarantee growth.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Established marketing strategy and positive reputation in the market: What made your company succeed, and can it be replicated?<\/li><li>List of personnel or employees on staff: This is vital for ownership transfer.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consideration 2:&nbsp; Is This the Right Time?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you had to sell your business tomorrow, would the company sell immediately? This may depend on the environment of the market in your area. The stability or hostility of the economy can also factor in the chance of selling your business smoothly. A buyer wants to be confident that it will run successfully if they were to take on your business today.&nbsp; How would your company stand out from the competition? Research into the number of like businesses in your region. You\u2019ll want to position your business as a step above the rest. If your company also offers some additional services, it would be appealing to contribute to profits with extra revenue. Work with your accountant or CPA to ensure your books and financials are in clear order. Any risk factors or unnecessary expenses can be addressed before you move forward in the sales process. Read up on the <a href=\"https:\/\/archstone.group\/virus-uncertainty-drives-down-commercial-real-estate-transactions\/\">trends<\/a> occurring right now in your industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Consideration 3:&nbsp; Work with a Consultant<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Buying and selling an appraisal business is a significant undertaking. The potential for success or misfortune can be great if you are not prepared and informed about the process. Seeking the expert help of a good business attorney and a business valuation expert is a smart choice. They will walk you through some of these considerations listed above. Ensure you fully understand your local laws and the fiscal decisions that need to be made in such a transaction.
