I bought a business for sale in Auckland in an industry that I’d never considered before. I’ve grown it, I’m loving it.
Micheal · New OwnerWe will be in touch when something fits, usually before it is shown to anyone else.
Normally a business is valued on its risk profile going forward. Someone who’s made an offer has usually arrived at a value by ascertaining what impact any associated risks could have on the business. So due diligence should be about verifying everything they already know, and looking again at every single part of the business to establish whether it’s going to be the same, better or worse under their new ownership once the current owner has gone.
Normally we do a staged release of information. We start with a preliminary information document that gives a good holistic overview, enough for a buyer to understand whether it fits their acquisition criteria. From there it’s generally about the buyer asking for more information to establish what the business is worth to them. Some of that more sensitive information can be dangerous in the wrong hands, so we work closely with our vendors to establish where the risk is in handing certain information to a potential competitor. Together we stage the information flow so the buyer gets what they need, while justifying their genuine intent behind receiving it. It’s really important that the intellectual property and unique core metrics of a business aren’t bandied around unnecessarily.
The short answer is no. We’ve got buyers lined up to buy businesses in just about every industry sector you can think of, so we tend to focus on businesses that are profitable, with a bright future, and a vendor who’s getting out for the right reasons, like retirement.
