If
you own a business, one of
the most difficult decisions
you will ever face is if and
when to sell your business.
Sometimes it’s difficult
because you feel you are
putting a value on your
life’s accomplishments.
Sometimes, it’s because you
love the business so much,
you find it difficult to let
it go. Or the decision
could be so complicated by
family and circumstance that
it’s easier to make no
decision than the decision
to sell. And let’s
face it: sometimes, the
business has been left to
run downhill and you don’t
want others to find out.
The decision to sell your
business is a major life
decision, and there are few
resources available to help
you through the process.
That’s why Altman Business
Solutions, LLC was formed.
We’ve been there!
We can help you navigate the
turbulence around selling
your business by providing
information and experience
that allows you to
understand all the bits and
pieces that go into selling
a business profitably.
How do you price a business?
Altman Business Solutions
can show you, and we’ll use
the methods and formulas
widely accepted in the
investment banking world to
price your business
realistically and as
profitably as possible.
We’ll show you variations on
your financial business
model that will allow you to
realize a higher sale price,
given some time and effort.
You will be given a
personalized action plan,
one you can implement to
better showcase your
business and make it more
attractive to serious
buyers.
Don’t have a clue how to
find a buyer? That’s
okay, at Altman Business
Solutions, we do. Or
perhaps you have a buyer,
but are unsure how to
negotiate and structure the
deal? No problem,
that’s our specialty.
You want to make sure your
employees have jobs when
it’s done? Great!
That was important to us,
too. We can help you
get your employees
ready so that the buyer sees
them as a critical part of
the success of the business.
Whether your business is
big, like the Fortune 500
companies we have consulted
for over the last 20 years,
or small, as was our own
family business, sold for a
profit in 2007, we can
understand the picture and
communicate it to your
potential buyers. Most
importantly, Altman Business
Solutions can help
interested buyers see and
calculate the potential so
they understand the value
that your business can bring
them in the future.
And let’s face it, that’s
what makes a business sale!
