If you are a business owner you
will know that building your company is hard work. Selling your business often
seems like a distant dream, many years in the future - if only you could get
there.
However, the years pass and the
sale of the company seems to get no closer. Does that sound familiar? For many
company owners it is an uncomfortable reality. If building the company is hard,
selling it can feel like the ultimate goal that is forever out of reach.
It is a good idea to do a legal
health check on your company each year, which will look at whether all your
client contracts and compliance paperwork is in place. It will review your
employee contracts and staff handbook and it will look at your online presence
and whether your activities online are fully compliant with relevant laws. The
aim is to make sure that your business is continually ready to be sold as it
grows, because you never know when the right time to sell will come along.
The truth is that no company ever
reaches a ‘perfect moment’ at which point it is sold. Selling a company, as
with most things in life, is a compromise. It also takes hard work and serious
planning. How do you value a company? What if your co-owners don’t want to
sell? Who would want to buy your company? Is the company value too reliant on
your employees?
The good news is that you can
increase both the value of your company and the likelihood that it will be sold
by understanding the key factors that a buyer will look for.

ReplyDeleteAsk your friends or family if they know a good immigration solicitor. It is very probable that at least one person in your network needed an immigration solicitor at one point or another in their life. People are very quick when making positive recommendations and even quicker to warn others about a bad experience.
