These will help you build your company valuation long term
In a presentation this week to the Consumer Technology Association, we shared the top questions that sellers of businesses wished someone had asked them years prior to selling their business. We want to share here these value creating questions for all to think about:
- Am I clear on what will make me euphoric at time of an exit event
- Can my business continue to flourish for an acquirer without me at the helm
- What will my company performance data convey to a potential acquirer
- Is any portion of our revenue highly predictable
- How sticky is our business with customers
- Can we prove a strong growth outlook for the acquirer to benefit from going forward
- What will my exit narrative be one day and will my financial results support it
- Can my company successfully undergo an acquirer’s due diligence
- Do I have seasoned deal partners helping me get to a euphoric exit event
You’ll want to think about all these questions well prior to your exit event. Don’t just hope for a future euphoric exit event, use time as a friend to plan for it. Give us a call and we can add color to any of these questions to help you think it through for your business. Call 949.874.0787.
