Business Analytics & Advisory Services
We help you sell your business through advisory services for all aspects of a transaction. Our pricing philosophy is to determine a realistic market price, defend the price with data, and raise the price if the business outperforms our projections. Our historical pricing efficiency is 94% of the initial valuation. Our unique advantage over value-add is the justification of price, which is not included in traditional listings.
Our marketing strategy is a series of intense, multichannel campaigns that evolve based on the knowledge gained from the market's response to each campaign.
We provide operational support for the due diligence phase and the business transfer phase of the transaction at no additional cost.
Your Business is an Important Financial Asset. Your Future Plans Assume It Will Grow in Value, and That You Will Be Able to Capture and Monetize (a Fancy Word Meaning to Turn Your Equity Value Into Money) That Value. It Won't Happen Without a Strategy and an Operational Plan.
Your value strategy should include three components:
1. Establish the current value of your business today.
2. Determine the future value of your business based on your dream scenario (also known as your exit strategy).
3. Create an operational plan to optimize, and then capture the maximum value within your designated timeframe.
How do you capture the value of a business? (Exit Strategy Alternatives)
1. Sale - This is the sale of your business to a third party through a merger or acquisition. Value optimization is based on identifying and then leveraging the industry's value drivers. In other words, transform your business into one your potential acquirers want to acquire.
2. Succession - This is the transfer of your business to a partner, family member, or key employee. Value optimization is based on professional estate planning and transforming your business, if necessary, into one that your successors can successfully manage.
3. Dissolution - This is the orderly consumption and/or sale of assets. Value optimization is based on managing the business for cash and the profitable sale of depreciated assets.
You can clearly see that each alternative requires its own operational plan. First, decide where you want to end up, and then plan and execute to maximize that chosen strategy—which is your customized value strategy.
Advantage Business Advisors, Inc. Provides in-house House Professional Business Appraisals, Independent Appraisals, Consulting, and Litigation Support.
To provide a professional appraisal of value, we are required by our certifying organization to perform a detailed analysis and study of your company, your industry, and the markets you operate in.
Both internal and external factors that influence the value of the company will be reviewed, analyzed, and interpreted. Internal factors include, among other things, your company's financial position, results of operations, as well as the size and marketability of the interest being valued. External factors include, among other things, the status of the industry and the position of your company relative to your industry.
To enable us to issue a formal valuation opinion, we will analyze financial statements, financial information, and other data obtained from management. We also visit the company, interview management, research the company's industry (customers and competitors), search for guideline companies, and perform other procedures necessary and appropriate to render an opinion regarding the value of the company in accordance with the appropriate standard of value. We provide you with a written appraisal report based on our analysis.
