Always be ready to sell your business!
If you are a roofing business owner, you must always be ready to sell your business, because you never know when you will need to do so. Over 50% of sellers were not planning to sell their business, but some event forced them. We call them the 5Ds!:
Disease, Distress, Divorce, Disability and Death!
Don’t be caught off guard if any of these events happen to you.
If your business nets more than $1MM a year, then you should definitely think of selling it!
Below you will find some tools you can use to determine if your business is ready to sell and what is the current value of it.
There are 2 questionnaires and one link to our valuation site.
The first thing you should do is to have an idea of your business value
The following are some of the reasons why you want to have a current business valuation:
Informed Decision-Making
Regular valuation gives you a clear picture of your business’s financial health and worth. This is essential for making informed decisions, whether it’s about investing in growth opportunities, restructuring, or preparing for sale. Understanding your business’s value can guide you in setting strategic priorities.
Preparation for Opportunities
Markets can change rapidly, and having an up-to-date valuation means you are always ready to act on opportunities—like a favorable offer to buy your business. It also prepares you to capitalize on favorable market conditions or to pivot strategies during downturns.
Facilitates Financing and Investment
A current valuation is often required by financial institutions when applying for loans or lines of credit. It also makes your business more attractive to potential investors, as it demonstrates a commitment to transparency and provides them with a clear understanding of what they are investing in.
Succession Planning
For many business owners, especially in specialized industries like roofing, the business is a significant part of their retirement plan. Regular valuation helps in planning for succession or exit strategies, ensuring you can maximize the business’s value when it’s time to sell or hand over the reins, thereby securing your legacy.
