Best Business Acquisition Financing to Buying A Business ?





How to Use Business Acquisition Financing to Buying A Business














When business owners and entrepreneurs make the decision to buy an existing business they need some solid info around how to finance the transaction . So what are in fact the best ways to execute your strategy on business purchase financing?

In many situations clients tell us they often have the ' inside track' on a business or company that would accept a good offer based on the current situation of the seller. There are of course various reasons for sellers wishing to divest of their business - these days succession and management buyouts are popular reasons.

Obviously there exists key reasons why buying an established company is a solid way to execute on your business plans . Most of those reasons are obvious:

Existing revenue and profits

Experienced management and personnel already in place

Elimination of start up risk

Etc. !



In many cases some seller financing may in fact prove to be critical in financing your deal. Previous owners remain in a subordinate position via whats known as a vendor take back, and often the skills an expertise of the seller are valuable in early stages of the takeover.

A debate sometimes exists, but most experts believe it is easier to arrange funding for an established business. When cash flow and sales are positive they play a key role in establishing the ability to repay business acquisition loans of various types. In many cases franchises are part of todays acquiring of businesses - they have brand and reputation already place.

The concept of valuation is key in purchasing a company . Higher valuations might in fact mean you have to finance goodwill when most lenders prefer asset financing solutions

We should point out that many businesses that are purchases are in some form of ' distress' . Here valuations are often attractive but the buyer must demonstrate confidence around ' the turnaround'. Valuations can be made through the buyers own expertise, or you can use the services of qualified business valuators.

What are the key issues in valuation and financing ? They include:

Quality of financials

Revenue trends

Cash flow and working capital positions ( Throwing off cash is better than using cash !)
