Why Business Owners Sell: The Motivation Behind Every Opportunity

Our ideal seller should be someone highly incentivized to make a deal. People who want to relocate to be near their grandchildren are generally interested in moving quickly, not spending months trying to ratchet up their selling price. People going through a divorce or facing health issues prioritize their time and emotional well-being over finding the perfect buyer at the perfect price.  The same is true for those who have grown tired of the business and want to pursue a shiny new object. In all these cases, our interests coincide with the sellers': they want a quick exit, and we want a fair, and likely low, price for your willingness to act quickly. You've heard the expression "going-out-of-business sale." One of the first things to understand is that this phrase doesn't apply just to the products a company sells. It also refers to the business itself. 

Baby Boomers are Aging out of Their Businesses. Many no longer want to run their companies; others are no longer able to because of health or other reasons. The first step is to keep in mind that millions of people have yet to retire and will be doing so in the next ten years, according to the Insurance Research Institute and the Pew Research Center.  Approximately 24% of those Baby Boomers own businesses, millions of which are going to transition over the next decade. Their cumulative value is worth over in the trillions. So, the years ahead will be full of opportunity.  

Life holds many unexpected twists and turns and, frequently, the need or desire to change location is one of them. Often, we find entrepreneurs who need to change locations to live near children, grandchildren, friends, relatives, or others who have moved away or live too far away to visit regularly. In other cases, entrepreneurs want to retire to a different climate, lifestyle, or lower cost of living to enjoy their later years. For others, a new business opportunity may present itself that requires a relocation to fully take advantage of it.

For entrepreneurs who pour their lives into their businesses, a common refrain is a desire to get some rest, take some time off, or just escape the day-to-day demands of a daily grind they have endured for the past years. These entrepreneurs have great businesses but are either just tired of them or have not been able to scale themselves out of the business to the point where they can enjoy life as they want to live it. These are excellent acquisition opportunities.

The statistics are undeniable: 80% of businesses that are listed for sale do not sell. That means that even if you are dealing with an entrepreneur who wants to sell their business, many times you will discover that they have tried in the past and failed. These are excellent opportunities to serve the entrepreneur by referring them to us, as we can help provide them with an exit at a very favorable price and/or terms. The entrepreneurs will be motivated and grateful to you for helping them to finally realize their vision of exiting the business. 

Walk into any roomful of entrepreneurs and you will find a roomful of people itching to find the next big thing for themselves. One of the challenges of being an entrepreneur is a continuing drive to discover, innovate, and try new things. That makes it hard to stick with running a business that you’ve been in for a few years, and very often that entrepreneurial restlessness leads to a motivated seller longing to escape their existing business to try something new. We love buying from these entrepreneurs and helping them get out of the old and into the new.

Often, entrepreneurs pass on without any viable plan of succession for their businesses, leaving their heirs with a business that they do not understand, have no skills or experience to run, and most likely just want to sell to move on with their lives. This presents an excellent opportunity to step in and help the decedent’s family by removing the onus of continuing to operate the business and providing them with cash or terms for cash in exchange for transferring ownership of the business. 

After operating their business for many years, some entrepreneurs experience unanticipated health challenges or simply decide that as they age and their health changes, they no longer can or want to own and operate their business.  These situations provide an excellent opportunity for you to send them to us so we can come into the picture and acquire the business to help the ailing or aging entrepreneur shed the responsibilities of owning and/or operating their current business to move on to their next adventure.  

This may result from a distracted owner/operator no longer being able to focus on the business, a couple who started a business together no longer being able to work together, or the need for an owner to sell the business to meet property settlement or ongoing child support obligations.  No matter what, it’s not an ideal situation, but you can serve the people who are going through divorce by referring them to us. We can provide them with an option to sell their business so that it can continue to serve its clientele and provide jobs for its employees. Because divorce sales are usually subject to timing pressures, very often both the terms and the price of the businesses in this situation are quite favorable. 

In all these scenarios, our interests align perfectly with the sellers': they want a quick, hassle-free exit, and we aim to provide a fair, often favorable, price for their willingness to act promptly. Think of it as a "going-out-of-business sale," not just for products, but for the business itself.
