Maximize Your Value

THE POT OF GOLD AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW

How Do I Maximize the Value of My Company?

You run a business. Sometime in the future you’d like to sell it and move to that small island in the Caribbean. So how do you get the best price? It’s all about maximizing the value and minimizing risk. Ask yourself. Do you have a strong, motivated management team? Do they have what it takes to grow the company when you leave? Kudos, that means the company’s future is not dependent on its owner.

How about predictable future earnings? The number of ways a business earns money reduces risk. Multiple revenue streams are attractive to potential buyers. And if your company’s revenue is recurring and stable, all the better. That’s money in the bank.

Customer diversification? What would happen if your largest customer left? Panic? Chaos? That could be a black eye. The more diverse your customer base, the more buyers you’ll have knocking at your door. A good indicator, you don’t want one customer that accounts for 10 percent or more of your revenue.

So, what’s new? Buyers are interested in your company’s future. Any new products or services in the never-ending pipeline? Is the business scalable and this has nothing to do with fish. And everything to do with rolling it into new markets successfully.

And you can’t forget due diligence. Buyers will put you under the microscope. Check performance. Look at the books. And finally, make a decision. If you want it to be favorable, call us. That pot of gold is closer than you think.

Experience the Oaklyn Consulting Difference

We really appreciated your willingness to adapt to the unique nature of our engagement — i.e., advising both sides — rather than forcing us into a typical approach.”

It was a very helpful professional experience. You are very knowledgeable and explained how you work transparently, even offering that you were probably not a good match. That is rare. Most people try to force-fit their model to every opportunity.”

As I stated many times during our conversations, I so appreciate you and your team for interceding throughout this transaction. It made such an incredible difference!”

Excellent setup and organization of data as well as business-level guidance for transactions.”

Candidly — I appreciated that you were thoughtful about when and where to engage knowing that we had sensitivities to fees. It often felt like you’d give us tools we could use to work through things on our own and then jump back in as needed to add value where you uniquely could.”

You continue to be my go-to for business owners thinking about their business options. I appreciate your approach and everyone I have sent you has said good things.”
