Garner More Revenue From A Limo Business Sale

Last updated on May 15, 2012 by Sozo Staff Leave a Comment

The best place to start when selling any business is with a business valuation. Settling for the price a valuation sets may not be in the cards for a smart limousine business owner. The value of a business exists in three aspects:  assets, liabilities and buyer perceived value, all of which are equally important to the sale of a successful chauffeur business. Paying attention to how buyers perceive business value as opposed to true value will increase the ultimate payout for a business owner.

1. Education

The likelihood of receiving a good price, let alone an outstanding one, for a business without knowing the facts behind a sale is poor. Success may find you, with a lot of luck. Accurately determining the business value of a limo company before putting it on the market will ensure a fair asking price for both buyer and seller. The market will also affect a sale. Putting a business up for sale during a market downturn will not garner the revenue it should. Lastly, a business owner should have a set process that the sale will follow. A business owner can be wrapped up in the sale and lose sight of everyday operations, thus lowering the value of the business. Trust a team of industry experts, like the Tenney Group, to ensure optimal sale quality.

2. Purchase To Enhance

Investing in assets that enhance the business is important to the health of the business and the sale. Like home renovations, not all purchases will add the desired value to a business sale. Ascertain the patterns of market interest and invest accordingly. Overhauling a limousine fleet may add too much to the bottom line, while just streamlining the older vehicles may have done the trick. Likewise with computer and operating systems. Carefully ponder the value that new equipment will actually bring to your business before you make the purchase.

3. Competition Is Your Friend

Many times too much competition in one marketplace is a bad thing. During a transportation business sale, the opposite rings true. Multiple buyers vying for your attention have the potential to drive the sale price up. Competition reinforces the perceived value of the company and sparks motivation among buyers. Additionally, a varied pool of investors will peak the interest of qualified buyers. Creating a bidding war for transportation sales is an excellent but not overused strategy. It involves advertising beyond the local market, while maintaining stability in the everyday business processes. An industry specialist, like the Tenney Group, can broker the type of bidding war every business owner desires while leaving the owner free to run the business, thus keeping all value intact.
