(see Exhibit 5). Their reasons vary, but selling is a key focus for both new and established entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"452\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-180.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4262\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-180.png 452w, https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-180-300x280.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 452px) 100vw, 452px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>That doesn\u2019t necessarily mean these business owners are planning to sell in the near future or that they even have a specific buyer in mind. But it does suggest the idea of selling is a serious consideration\u2014one that should be fully explored by most of you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But among those entrepreneurs who also tracked the sales activities of other business owners to better understand the process and evaluate the results, the overarching impression is that the sellers weren\u2019t thrilled with their outcomes (see Exhibit 6):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>More than 50 percent of the sellers were dissatisfied with their post-sale results\u2014especially the financial results (including the valuation, the agreed-upon sales price, the tax hit and the residual proceeds).<\/li><li>Only about 35 percent of sellers were satisfied.<\/li><li><em>A mere 12 percent were highly satisfied<\/em>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"492\" height=\"426\" src=\"https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-181.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-181.png 492w, https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-181-300x260.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 492px) 100vw, 492px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>These results match up with other research on business owners selling their companies, and with our own experiences and those of other professionals in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Upshot<\/strong>: Without question, many business owners are ultimately unhappy with the results from the sale of their companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The obvious question to ask: <em>What is going on?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For answers, it\u2019s important to realize that post-sale satisfaction levels can be influenced by a variety of factors\u2014some of which may not be financial in nature or within the seller\u2019s control (the timeliness and transparency of the process, how well or realistically the expectations were set in advance, the expertise and professionalism of the advisors, interactions with the new owners, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That is why it\u2019s essential for all business owners to understand where and how they can have the greatest impact on the future value of their business\u2014and their own personal wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#1d49a7\">THE SOLUTION: Pre-sale planning is the key<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re going to sell your business, you\u2019re probably looking to make sure you derive the greatest financial benefit possible. Getting the most for a company at a sale is typically a key goal of business owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trouble is, while this singular objective is pervasive and can be all-consuming, it tends to be a little shortsighted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the best personal financial results from the sale of your business, smart <em>pre-sale planning<\/em> is essential. When business owners combine smart pre-sale planning with astute negotiation, they typically secure the best price for their companies and maximize the amount they walk away with in their wallets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of pre-sale planning that can be significantly beneficial to business owners: corporate preparation and advanced planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, <strong>corporate preparation<\/strong> involves all the activities of organizing a company for a sale. It includes efforts that will address any lingering operational or procedural problems that can impact profits, making sure that a proper infrastructure is in place, along with the appropriate documentation, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Corporate preparation can help increase the price business owners receive for their companies and can include a broad array of possible activities. Some of the most common and impactful are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Improving the balance sheet<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> From doing a more effective job with cash management and accounts receivable to expunging nonperforming assets and personnel, a company can effectively better its financials.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Addressing the cost of funds<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> The right loan covenants, for example, can make a significant difference when selling a company. The overall intent is to maximize the working capital arrangements.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Enhancing profits<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> Business owners should look to take a variety of steps, such as eliminating \u201cbad\u201d customers and refining operations, thereby increasing gross profit margins.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the variety of actions business owners can take to prepare their companies to command the best price, very few have taken any of these steps to strengthen and secure their financial future (see Exhibit 7).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"760\" height=\"272\" src=\"https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-182.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-182.png 760w, https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-182-300x107.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) 100vw, 760px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>Valuation<\/em> is another element of corporate preparation. In most cases, a formal valuation is required for the ownership transfer of a business, regardless of whether the transition occurs between family members, within the current employee base, or to an outside individual or corporate entity. There are usually three approaches used to value a company:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The <em>income approach<\/em> uses the present value of expected future cash flows or operating income.<\/li><li>The <em>market approach<\/em> is based on comparisons with similar companies where the value of these other firms is known.<\/li><li>The <em>asset approach<\/em> is based on getting a fair market value of the business assets and then subtracting the fair market value of its liabilities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One or more of these approaches may be used in the formal valuation process. A qualified appraiser will determine which method is most appropriate based on the nature of your business and its assets, among other considerations. In addition to providing you with a baseline understanding of your company\u2019s perceived and expected value in the marketplace, the process of obtaining a formal valuation can often help you identify other ways to bolster value\u2014and, ultimately, the price a buyer is willing to pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IMPORTANT<\/strong>: Corporate preparation helps companies function better and appeals to potential suitors. But it is the ability to capitalize on these improvements <em>during negotiations<\/em> that translates into a higher sales price. The sales price itself, along with the accompanying terms and conditions, primarily accounts for the amount of personal wealth created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second type of pre-sale planning is<strong> advanced planning<\/strong>.Planning to make the company more attractive to prospective buyers is wise, but so is planning to ensure you get the greatest advantage on the back end. This is where advanced planning comes into play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Advanced planning can be extremely powerful in mitigating the taxes owed on the sale of your company. However, of the business owners interested in a possible sale of their company, only about 15 percent have taken action to maximize their personal wealth or the wealth of their loved ones from a sale (see Exhibit 8).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"386\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-183.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-183.png 386w, https:\/\/fusionwm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image-183-291x300.png 291w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 386px) 100vw, 386px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Timing is everything<\/em><\/strong>: You must act well before the sale to get the most benefit from some advanced planning strategies, such as freezing the value of a business for estate planning purposes. Conversely, there are other advanced planning strategies that can be quite useful when done close to the transaction. Example: using a charitable trust during the sale of all or part of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:33px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"has-text-color wp-block-heading\" style=\"color:#1d49a7\">Take the next step<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Selling your company is one of the most significant business decisions you\u2019re likely to make.
