sale over the 2021/22 financial year. If this has not been the case, given strengthening purchaser demand which also occurred over the same period, it is likely that business sale prices/ value multiples would have increased substantially – similar to what happened in the property market.
It will be interesting to see, in the longer term, as the baby boomer exit declines, if business values will increase as the supply of listings declines.
of this generation are now aged between 59 to 77. This means the average age Baby Boomer is now 68 years old. Have we now seen the peak of the Baby Boomer owned businesses being sold?
SMALL BUSINESS MARKET ACTIVITY UPDATE
The “Baby Boomer” exit has been a major factor in providing the marketplace with a relatively large number of businesses listed for
The number of small businesses for sale across Australia reached a two-year peak of around 13,400 in September 2022. This has since fallen by around 8% to 12,300. It is too early to predict if there will be a sustained downward trend in listing numbers, though it is a good time to examine some of the reasons listing numbers change. Such factors include the following:
• Ageing nature of business owners – the “Baby Boomer” population bubble covers people born between 1946 and 1964. Business owners
• “Covid-19 Effect” – Many brokers have reported that business owners have decided to make lifestyle decisions after the main impacts of the pandemic ie. comments like -“life is too short to keep working hard for a long period, so time to sell the business and start enjoying ourselves more”.
• Strength of purchaser demand – if there is low demand, many vendors will become discouraged and withdraw their business from the market. Conversely, if businesses are selling well, more vendors are encouraged to list their business for sale.
• Two years of strong trading - Over the last two years, with many business types
experiencing improved trading figures, a larger than normal number of business owners (including baby boomers) have looked to sell their business/ exit the market. There has also been relatively strong purchaser demand for most business types. As such, market conditions have been close to ideal, with both solid purchaser demand and also a good number of businesses being listed for sale.
Other general observations of the current marketplace include:
• Purchaser Demand Remains
Relatively Strong Even if Slightly ModeratingMost business brokers are now sensing a slight fall in purchaser demand. However, this is to be expected given the well above average demand over the past two years, within an environment of rising interest rates/ falling real estate values. A decrease in house prices means that business purchasers have less equity in their homes, with which to provide security for purchase of a business. Decreasing real estate prices also erodes confidence.
• Discretionary Goods/ Service Businesses Attracting Lower demand – Discretionary retail, hospitality, non-franchise bakeries, gyms, hair and beauty salons are some of the sectors that are attracting a lower level of demand.
• “Buy a Job Businesses”
Attracting Lower Demand
- In particular, where oneowner profits are less than $150,000, given the high level of employment in the economy.
• Business Types Attracting
Stronger Demand - Stronger demand remains for supermarkets, online retail, mining services, transport
logistics and warehousing. There is growing demand for green/environmental exposure industries, such as solar, revegetation, carbon offset service businesses, etc. Brokers are also noting higher demand for businesses with profits over $300,000.

CURRENT PROFILE OF THE SMALL BUSINESS SECTOR IN AUSTRALIA
For over 30 years, Business Values Newsletter has been reporting on the small business to medium business market in Australia.
Whilst there is technically over 2.5M businesses in Australia, the reality is that around 1,550,000 of these, are micro businesses which have no employees and are often sole operators/ subcontractors with an ABN number. Large businesses with over 200 employees, make up only around 4,500. Therefore, the vast majority of transactional activity is in the small and medium size business categories, which total around 1,000,000 in number.
Business Values Newsletter focusses on the small and medium size categories, as this is where there is the greatest number of transactions in the marketplace and hence the greatest demand for information.
The two tables below summarise business numbers by employee and revenue.
Notes on Above Tables:
• Many of the 1,550,000 Micro businesses with 0 employees are sole proprietors or simply subcontractors with an ABN number – As such they are not often saleable businesses.
• The remaining and typically most saleable businesses therefore total around 1M in number.
• Of the 1M saleable businesses, around 780,000 have revenue of less than 2M and the remaining 220,000 have revenue of less than 10M
• In the last 5 years, the number of businesses in the small to medium range has increased by around 18%
It is in recognition of the above statistics that Business Values Newsletter focusses on analysis of the marketplace for businesses that have 10M or less in revenue and most often 2M or less in profit.
MARKET VALUE MULTIPLES/ ROI’S FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
This author has completed some high level analysis of around 1000 sales ranging in price using the Australian Institute of Business Brokers “Bizstats Database”. The sales are ranging in price from $50,000 to $5,000,000. All of the sales on this database are analysed on the basis of the business assets included in transactions being limited to Stock/ Work In Progress, Plant/ Equipment and Goodwill (ie not including working capital, other assets or liabilities).
Businesses sold are mainly based on two standards of profit being;
• PEBITDA (Proprietors Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation) and EBITDA
(Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation) – Essentially profit prior to one main working owners salary being allowed for.
• EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation) - Essentially profit undermanagement, where all working owners salaries have been adjusted to market salaries.
Main points of analysis from the sales data for each of the standards of profit are:
PEBITDA Standard of Profit:
• Around 65% of all the sales were transacted based on a PEBITDA standard of profit.
• The PEBITDA based sales are mainly for business sold for prices $2,000,000 and under.
Around 70% of all of the PEBITDA profit based sales reflect multiples between 1 and 3 times profit.
(EBITDA) Standard of Profit:
• The majority of business sales
transacted at $2,000,000 or above, are sold based on an EBITDA standard of profit.
• The majority of sales in this size category, reflect multiples of between 2 to 5 times EBITDA.

THE BASICS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR BUSINESS OWNERS
Author: Farzin Hesari Director | M & A AdvisorP.
03 9819 4211E. farzinhesari.adelaide@linkbusiness.com.au linkbusiness.com.au
Being a first-time business owner can both be exciting and challenging, especially if you have no experience with financial statements. While your accountant will be the one to prepare and assess your financial documents, it will be beneficial for you to understand what they are and why they are important. There are three main financial statements: the Income Statement, the Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Statement.
The Income Statement: The income statement is also known as the profit and loss statement or P&L. It shows a business's revenue and expenses over a specific period, providing information on the business’s profitability based on revenue generation compared with expenses.
The Balance Sheet: The balance sheet provides an overview of a business’s financial position at a specific point in time, showing its assets, liabilities and equity. The balance sheet provides insights into the business’s financial stability and indicates whether it has sufficient resources to cover its debts and other financial obligations.
The Cash Flow Statement: The cash flow statement shows the cash inflows and outflows of a business during a specific period. It provides insights into the business’s cash management, including how much cash the business generates from its operations and how much it spends on supply purchases, capital investments and other expenses.
Together, these three financial statements can help first-time owners evaluate their businesses’ financial performances and determine whether they are successful. However, financial statements should be scrutinised together with other factors, such as industry trends, management quality and competitive landscape to form a comprehensive understanding of the overall performance of a business.
WHY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MATTER
Financial statements give insight into a business’s fiscal performance, operations, cash flow and overall monetary-related conditions. Some reasons why financial statements matter are as follows:
1. Evaluate Profitability: Financial statements help the business owner determine how profitable the business is, which is crucial when making revenue- or expense-affecting decisions.
2. Assess Liquidity: Financial reports show the business’s ability to pay its bills, including short-term and long-term obligations. It is a critical measure for businesses that need to borrow money or obtain credit.
3. Monitor Cash Flow: Cash flow is the lifeblood of any
business. Financial statements help identify where cash is coming from and where it is going. Understanding cash flow helps the business owner manage the operation and make informed decisions that affect the inflow and outflow of money.
4. Identify Trends: By comparing financial statements over time, it is possible to identify trends and patterns in a business’s financial performance. This information can help business adjust their strategies to stay competitive.
5. Comply With Regulations: Financial statements are required by law and businesses must file them with regulatory authorities.
ANALYSING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Collect the financial statements and obtain the business’s annual reports, income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements for the relevant period you want to analyse. Analysing financial statements involves reviewing the business’s financial reports to gain insights into its financial health and performance. This involves understanding the basic financial accounting concepts and the terminology used in financial reports.
It is important to note that
financial statement analysis is a complex and ever-evolving field. You may want to consult with a financial professional or accountant for specific advice on how to analyse financial statements.
DECISION-MAKING BASED ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Financial statements provide valuable information for decisionmaking, strategy planning and compliance. It is crucial to have a good understanding of how to interpret and analyse them to make informed business decisions. When making decisions based on financial statements, it is essential to analyse all three statements and consider how they relate to each other.
For example, a business may have a healthy balance sheet with plenty of assets. However, if its income statement shows declining revenue and increasing expenses, it may be struggling to maintain profitability. An owner desirous of leading the business towards success would then be able to identify strategies to generate more revenue, decrease expenses, make key investments with good projected returns or all the aforementioned actions.
MILAWA
MILAWA’S HISTORIC 160 YEAR OLD PROPERTY WITH FOUR INCOME STREAMS IS FOR
SALE FOR $1.375 MILLION
Author: Allan JohnsonOriginally the first public building in Milawa, this property has been a local icon for over 160 years. Situated on the main road it has served as a courthouse, restaurant, maternity hospital, police station and it has been said that Ned Kelly, awaiting trial, was held in the Beechworth jail cell that has been on the property for 102 years. Now renovated, the cell makes a perfect place for an intimate private lunch.
Over the past two years this property has undergone significant renovations and the opportunity to acquire 1597 Snow Road Milawa Victoria has become available.
With four income streams f rom Milawa Providore & Café, Redbank Wines Cellar Door, The Old Emu B&B and The Old Barn events venue, there is now a great opportunity to acquire this property and run as a
business or convert to a stately country residence.
The 3021 sqm property has been listed for sale with a price guide of $1.375 million and will include the freehold property, business rights and furniture on a walk-in-walkout basis.
The current owner explained, “When I set out on this project, I wanted to create a venue that could become a gathering place
for locals but one that also appealed to the passing tourists while retaining the historical features of the property. Milawa was already known as a gourmet region catering to food and wine lovers. This property is now a part of that culture.”
“I’m excited to see where the next owners will take this amazing opportunity, by continuing what I’ve started or going in another direction altogether.”
“Being so close to the snowfields is a huge drawcard during the ski season, and the opportunity to enjoy gourmet food and excellent wines makes us an ideal venue all year round”
What was once a tired secondhand goods store was converted into luxury accommodation by the current owner due to tourist demands. The onsite luxury couple’s retreat is rented through Airbnb with a 4.98 rating and over
50 reviews. The current tariff is $299 a night.
The main drawcard for tourists is to visit the cellar door for Redbank Wines and the Milawa Providore which is located in the old courthouse building. The spacious bar offers ample room for tasting wines, gins, and oldfashioned mead.
The cellar door stocks local food items, olives, hot chocolate, jam, honey, oil, and scented candles
in recycled wine bottles. The purchaser could further adapt this space to accommodate a range of additional features.
The 160 year old history of this property is evident throughout. The main buildings are constructed of handmade clay bricks that have retained their original features and warmth. The original build used the clay beneath the main building to make the bricks, and the resulting space has been converted into a large cellar, used today for wine storage.
There are two charming tearooms for dining, the Kettle Tearoom, seating 12, and another providing private dining for up to eight in a light-filled, sunny room with a wood heater.
On the grounds a pizza oven enclosure was custom built with servery, lighting & power to assemble, cook and serve woodfired pizzas straight from the oven to the customers outside.
This property is located in the King Valley which is known as a perfect location for dream weddings,
and this property also offers a fabulous, rustic wedding venue. This multi-purpose venue can be all-inclusive with events, ceremony and reception options. The bride can walk down a roselined garden aisle to a magical wedding arbour beneath a towering gumtree, lit up with fairy lights.
In 2021, the new 248m2 marquee was erected seating up to 120 guests that opens to the historic timber barn with bar, dancefloor and custom built bench seating. Jenny Chellew, the property’s listing agent said “the upgrades and improvements that have been done are to a very high standard and sympathetic to the property’s rich history. This property is a rare gem full of possibilities for an astute buyer”.
This property encompasses multiple income streams along with onsite living quarters, providing a great opportunity for someone moving to the area. With the recent renovations over the past two years, it is well worth an inspection.
WHY ARE FINANCIALS CRITICAL?
As a business broker, my role extends beyond just evaluating financial statements and facilitating a sale process. I also provide valuable guidance and support to my clients throughout the entire process, from preparing their business for sale to negotiating the final sale price. The process and the following points in this article are even more crucial in the sale of a multi-million dollar business as the business is likely to be scrutinised by high-profile accountants and financial analysts.
A crucial aspect of selling a business is setting the right price. A business's value is not just based on its financial performance but also on other factors such as its growth potential, market position, and competition. As a business broker, I use my expertise and experience to evaluate these factors and determine a fair price for the business.
Financials are the lifeblood of any business, and they play an especially critical role in the sale of a multi-million dollar business. When it comes to buying and selling a business, financials are an essential component that potential buyers use to assess the value and profitability of the business. The EOFY provides the ideal time to prepare up to date financials to assist in the sale of a business. A well-prepared up to date financial statement provides a clear picture of a company's financial performance, its assets, liabilities, and the cash flow generated over the years. In this article, I explore why financials are crucial to the sale of a multi-million dollar business.
One of the primary reasons why financials are critical to the sale of a multi-million dollar business is that they help to determine my appraisal of the business. A buyer would want to know the current and future cash flows generated by the business, the assets, and liabilities, including any debts and obligations. By analysing the financial statements, a buyer can determine the current and future earning potential of the business and make an informed decision on whether to buy the business or not.
Another reason why financials are essential in the sale of a multi-million dollar business is that they provide transparency into the financial performance of the business. A well-prepared financial statement provides a clear picture of the company's revenue, expenses, and profits. This information is critical for potential buyers to evaluate the business's financial health and make an informed decision on whether it is a good investment. Financial statements also help to identify potential risks associated with the business. For instance, if a business is highly leveraged, it may be at risk of defaulting on its debt obligations, which could lead to bankruptcy. By analysing the financial statements, a buyer can identify potential risks and make informed decisions on how to mitigate them.
Before purchasing a multi million dollar business, buyers and their financial team will conduct due diligence to assess the business's financial and operational performance. Financial statements
provide a wealth of information that can be used to conduct due diligence. By analysing the financial statements, the buyer and their team are able to identify any areas of concern and ask the seller relevant questions during the due diligence process.
Finally, financials provide a basis for negotiation between the buyer and seller. If a buyer identifies any areas of concern in the financial statements, they can use this information to negotiate a lower purchase price or other favourable terms. On the other hand, if the financial statements show that the business is performing well, the seller might be able to use this information to stand firm on their asking price.
In conclusion, financials are critical to the sale of a multi-million dollar business. They help to determine the value of the business, provide transparency, identify risks, facilitate due diligence, and provide a basis for negotiation. Therefore, it is imperative for business owners to ensure that their financial statements are accurate, up-to-date, and well-prepared before putting their business on the market.
Arnold Pierce Kelsey Business Broker M. 0458 073 621 E. arnold@absbrisbane.com absbusinesssales.com.auA HEALTHY P&L STILL REQUIRES INVESTIGATION!
Author: Shweta Tripathi DirectorP. 0432 591 529 E. info@acceleratebsales.com.au www.acceleratebusinesssales.com.au
There is no denying as a business broker, when I see a healthy P&L statement meeting all the industry benchmarks and minimal normalisations, I am excited. The Business Sales world, however, does not begin or end with a healthy Profit and loss statement. Many other factors impact the asking price and saleability of a business. The list is exhaustive, however, below are some that stand out :
EBITDA SIZE
The old expression, "size matters" comes into play when selecting an appropriate EBITDA multiple for your Business. larger companies command higher EBITDA multiples and thus it follows larger transactions will garner a higher EBITDA multiple. This is also because a larger EBITDA generally means that the business has a good organisational structure and enough beef in the employee structure to withstand sudden resignations at the time of transition from one owner to the other.
REVENUE TRENDS
Businesses demonstrating consistency and superior historic and prospective future revenue growth will typically command a premium asking price and a
higher EBITDA multiple. Although, a short spike in revenue due to a single sudden client or project has little impact on the value of the business.
CUSTOMER CONCENTRATION
The presence, magnitude or absence of customer concentration significantly impacts the health and eventually the value of a business. companies having significant customer concentration, which we define as any single customer responsible for more than 20% of annual sales or any 3 customers generating over 50% of annual sales, command lower than average EBITDA multiples than industry peers possessing equivalent revenues and profitability yet with a more diverse customer base.
It is possible to minimise the potential negative impact of customer concentration on value by acting as a sole source supplier and/or having favourable long-term agreements with large customers.
INDUSTRY CONCENTRATION
Companies whose revenues are concentrated within a particular end market are more susceptible
to the impact of sector-specific variables, such as its cyclical nature, the introduction of new regulations or disruptive technologies, increased competition, etc.
MANAGEMENT TEAM
The less the business depends on the owner, the better the transferable value of the business. A CEO who is responsible for many areas of the business is harder to replace and thus his presence in the business is crucial, making the business transition harder. Having staff that is a second in charge or take senior roles if wanted, documented policies and procedures and other factors that make staff less indispensable increases the value of the business and makes the business less susceptible to failure or suffering during a transition.
In essence, just looking at the profit and loss statement is never enough. The science of valuation of a business is more of an art and the factors that influence the health, longevity and market value of a business are never an exhaustive list. having said this, recognising and assessing critical factors that impact a business, especially during a valuation and acquisition gives a true picture and a realistic value of a business.
MEASURING YOUR BUSINESS SUCCESS WITH ROI
WHAT IS ROI
ROI (Return on Investment) is a financial metric that measures the profitability of an investment. To compute the ROI Rate, the net profit (ideally adjusted for normalisations/add-backs) of an investment is divided by the total amount of money invested. The resulting figure of the computation provides a clear understanding of the financial returns generated by a particular investment on a per annum basis, should the business maintain its current performance..
HOW ROI MAY BE UTILISED BY BUSINESSES
Using ROI enables a clear-cut understanding of the financial performance of a business through a standardised numeric figure. Business owners utilise ROI to make more informed decisions about where to invest resources in the future and identify the investments that are most likely to generate a high return. Additionally, ROI can be used to help businesses forecast future returns and effectively allocate resources where necessary, making it a valuable tool in budgeting and planning.
ROI can account for the time value of money and to assess the efficiency of investments. The time value of money posits that money has a greater value in the present than in the future because of the
potential to earn interest through investment. ROI takes this into account by measuring the net profit of an investment relative to the total amount of money a business has invested over a defined period of time. This allows for an accurate comparison of the potential returns of multiple investments even if they have different time horizons.
Additionally, ROI helps businesses benchmark their financial performance against industry standards. ROI figures may provide insights into areas where a business is underperforming and highlight opportunities to improve its operations, such as increasing efficiency or reducing costs to stay ahead of the competition.
ROI FOR PURCHASERS
Purchasers may also utilise ROI when deciding on an acquisition. ROI helps purchasers evaluate the potential benefits and risks of an acquisition opportunity by quantifying factors and comparing the potential returns of different investment options.
A high ROI is positive and can make a purchase more attractive, enabling the possibility of a seamless sale process. While a low ROI may make a purchaser less inclined to proceed with the sale, it may be spun in a positive way. A low ROI may be reframed as an opportunity for growth and improvement that has the potential
to pay off in the long term. By focusing on solutions rather than problems, purchasers and their stakeholders can work together to drive positive change in the business they wish to acquire.
CONCLUSION
In summary, ROI helps measure business success, enabling businesses and investors to determine whether their investments are generating enough profit to justify the amount of money invested. It assists business owners or purchasers make informed decisions about where to allocate resources and whether to continue with a particular investment or strategy. ROI provides a clear understanding of profitability, facilitates investment decisions and helps evaluate business performance over time to
VETERAN BUSINESS BROKER TONY ARENA EXPLORES THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS BROKING
Managing Director Author: Allan JohnsonAs a veteran of the business broking industry, Tony Arena has a wealth of experience and knowledge to share, so the opportunity to meet with him can lead to a riveting conversation.
After graduating with an Arts/Law degree, Tony immersed himself in the legal profession focusing on criminal law. Before he was 30, he was “handling Supreme Court murder cases and all sorts of grim and gruesome cases”.
Six years after becoming a barrister, Tony decided he had seen enough of that side of life and looked for a career change.
His father was already a successful business broker, so the decision to be mentored by a pioneer of the industry was a simple one.
HOW HAS BUSINESS BROKING TRANSFORMED?
Business broking has not been immune to the relentless advance of technology, and Tony identifies the internet as the most significant change during his 30 years in the industry.
“When I first started, we always made contact with people by telephone or in person. Potential buyers and sellers would come to our office to discuss business. You had a greater opportunity to judge body language. We did a lot more personal work.”
“Now it’s emails and Zoom calls. I have sold businesses where I never met the buyer or the seller. The idea of a personal meeting has just drifted away.”
Tony agrees that technology has expanded the pool of potential clients. Buyers or sellers (as well as the broker, subject to licensing restrictions) are no longer restricted by geography.
Technology has also impacted the types of businesses being traded. “We are selling fewer and
fewer physical businesses,” Tony observed. “You can walk down any main street and see nothing but businesses that require personal contact like medical services or food/hospitality and, of course, lots of empty shops that used to sell physical goods.”
“Any bricks-and-mortar businesses hoping to succeed will have built a significant online component. And once they have that online presence, the cost of a physical presence (rent, power, etc.) becomes too high to justify.”
The result, as Tony explained, is that brokers are selling more businesses that are wholly or substantially digital or service. And this trend was happening well before the pandemic. “We recently sold a recruitment business that has been run online for eight years. – No offices!”
“There are plenty of good reasons the trend towards working from home will continue - it’s better for the business owner because it reduces overheads, it’s better for the employees because they don’t have to commute, and it’s better for the government because the reduced traffic reduces congestion and demand for public transport - just imagine what it would be like if everyone had to start commuting again!.”
ARE BUYERS ASKING FOR MORE?
Tony agreed that the information a potential buyer wants has not changed despite the change in business models.
“The financial statements are always my first stop. Any due diligence will always focus on the financials.
You need to understand the future profitability of the business for the new owner by adjusting the profit and loss statement. The balance sheet will give a guide to the amount of working capital required.
But apart from the actual numbers, if the financial statements are tidy and wellpresented, it often indicates that the business is well run too.”
The reliability of the financial statements is an important factor in any successful sale. The statements are usually unaudited. The accountant has to rely on the accuracy of the underlying records provided by the business, and the business broker has less opportunity to scrutinize the records.
Tony commented, “I will look at the financials fairly aggressively because I know the questions a serious buyer is going to ask. Having said that, I can do a solid investigation, and even then, everything falls apart when the buyer does a deeper dive and the figures don’t stack up.”
Red flags include transactions recorded in different years (or not at all), catch-up journal entries, and grossly understated stock values.
“If a buyer starts to lose confidence in the financials but still wants to proceed, there’s something else driving the transaction.”
“Some buyers don’t place as much importance on the financials if they believe they can substantially improve the business. One potential buyer told me he looks to see if the business still uses a fax machine. If they do, he knows he can improve the business, so the financials have merely historical interest”
And, with June 30 rapidly approaching, Tony commented that cut-off dates are artificial, so he’s prepared to use the financials for any 12-month period. During Covid, we had to go back to 2019 for the last unaffected full financial year and now, calendar 2022 is the only 12 month period most people have that is not affected by lockdowns.
“Of course, June 30 financial
statements are ideal because that’s when the accountant tidies up the records and processes the end-of-year entries.”
But, for most buyers, confidence in the financial statements is the first part of the due diligence process.
The second part Tony focuses on is understanding the relationships. The current owner will have established relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees.
A potential buyer must assess the transferability of those relationships. A careful review of contracts, observation of the current owner’s involvement in the business, and an assessment of the potential buyer’s preferred management style will indicate any potential transferability challenges.
And the third part? Maintainability.
“This is all about … “Is the industry going to be around, in say, ten years? Disruption moves much faster these days, so AI disruptors will threaten some industries we’ve regarded as secure in the past.”
“Now buyers are looking to buy boring services businesses that need people to provide the service. These businesses need people to get out of the office to do the plumbing or electrical repairs and hospitality businesses. They can’t be substantially disrupted, but they can be improved by better marketing and back-end systems.”
Businesses that operate in industries that are targets for disruption will face valuation issues unless there are other mitigating factors.
“Most vendors have a fair idea of what their business is worth. The other day I had to almost double the vendor’s estimate because they didn’t know what was happening in the current market.
That is our advantage - we know the recent relevant transactions.”
So, for Tony, profitability, transferability, and maintainability are the cornerstones of a due diligence process.
FRANCHISE VS BUSINESS BUYERS
Tony agrees that people are still people, but with the rise in the number of franchises in Australia, he regards those who want to buy a franchise as having a different attitude to those willing to operate a non-franchised business.
“They are different. They are more averse to risk, don’t mind being restricted or controlled, and prefer the certainty and protection of a franchise.”
A non-franchise buyer, on the other hand, doesn't want to be restricted, and quite often doesn't want to pay the franchisor for things that they can provide themselves. Many non-franchise buyers have been in a franchise before, and what they have learnt stands them in good stead for when they move into a nonfranchise business. It really is horses for courses.
“Ideally, we end up with a few potential buyers, and the vendor can select the buyer most suitable. The vendor wants the business sold, but my rule is: You want to sell the business, but you want it to remain sold 12 months after the transaction. No one wants court cases or even financial disasters.”
WHAT IS THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS BROKING?
“When I started, there were probably 50 business brokers in NSW. Now I think there would be at least three to four hundred, so it’s certainly a growing industry. Like business in general, the move to digital communication has been significant.”
Tony is confident the future looks
bright. And he is at the forefront of molding that future.
He is presenting at the International Business Brokers Association Conference in Orlando in May. The title of his paper is ‘The Business Broker of Tomorrow’. “ My focus this year is around future scenario planning, which prepares us for the threats that may be ahead and teaches us how to take best advantage of the opportunities that no doubt will arise."
Tony sees co-brokering as being more prevalent in America than in Australia. He is hopeful that will be the direction ahead for Australia. “Brokers working cooperatively and collaboratively will improve the experience for clients.”
And, the AI advancement will not leave business brokers unaffected. “It has the ability to improve our processes at all stages of selling a business. If you utilise it properly, it will help you. The risk is to let AI take over.”
“For example, if you put a chatbot on your website and expect clients to engage with a computer, you will be disappointed. Getting the chatbot to send you a text to alert you to a prospect will combine elements of AI but retain the personal interaction.”
“The importance of personal communication will become even more important, and brokers should resist the temptation to let AI take over. Our aim should be to deliver a personal service quicker
and better using technology.”
So, for Tony, the future of business broking is in providing superior, personal service and being prepared to move with the times - that much hasn’t changed.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ACCURATE FINANCIALS WHEN SELLING A BUSINESS

Selling a business is a complex and challenging process. As a business owner, you have invested time, effort, and capital into building your business, and you want to ensure that you receive the best possible return on your investment. One of the critical factors that can impact the sale of your business is the accuracy of your financials.
Accurate financials are essential when selling a business. They provide potential buyers with a clear understanding of your company's financial health, profitability, and potential for growth. Having reliable financials can help you attract more buyers, negotiate a better deal and reduce the risk of litigation after the sale.
CONVERSATIONS WITH YOUR ACCOUNTANT
When preparing to sell your business, it's essential to have conversations with your accountant. Your accountant can help you ensure that your financials are accurate, up-to-date, and in compliance with applicable accounting standards. They can also help you identify areas where you can improve your financial performance and increase the value of your business.
STOCK LEVELS
One critical aspect of accurate financials is the management of stock levels. Your stock levels impact your cash flow, profitability, and ability to meet customer demand. Having
accurate records of your stock levels is essential when selling a business. It allows you to demonstrate the value of your stock, identify slow-moving items, and calculate your inventory turnover rate.
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT / DEPRECIATION
Another critical area where accurate financials are essential is the management of plant and equipment. Your plant and equipment represent a significant investment, and it's important to track their depreciation accurately. Accurate depreciation records allow you to calculate the true value of your assets, identify areas where you can improve efficiency, and make informed decisions about asset replacement.
WORK IN PROGRESS
Work in progress (WIP) is another area where accurate financials are crucial when selling a business. WIP represents the value of work that has been started but not yet completed. Accurate WIP records allow you to demonstrate the value of work in progress, identify bottlenecks in your production process, and forecast your future revenue.
IMMEDIATE TAX WRITE-OFF
When selling a business, it's important to be aware of any immediate tax write-offs that may be available. Immediate tax writeoffs can help you reduce your tax liability and increase the value of your business. Your accountant can help you identify any tax write-offs that may be available and help you maximize their benefit.
PROVIDE INCENTIVES TO HOLD KEY STAFF ESSENTIAL TO THE BUSINESS
Your staffing arrangements can impact the value of your business. Having a stable and well-trained workforce is an asset when selling a business. Incentives, such as employee bonuses or profit-sharing arrangements, can help you attract and retain talented staff. These incentives can increase the value of your business by demonstrating the strength of your team and their commitment to the company's success.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT AND MULTIPLES OF RETURNS PAID FOR VARYING INDUSTRIES
Return on investment (ROI) and multiples of returns paid for varying industries are critical factors to consider when selling
a business. These metrics allow you to demonstrate the value of your business compared to other companies in your industry. Your accountant can help you calculate your ROI and multiples of returns paid and use these metrics to set a realistic price for your business.
ADD BACKS TO NORMALISE THE ACCOUNTS
Add backs to normalise the accounts is a technique used to adjust the financial statements to reflect the true financial performance of the business. This technique can help you identify and adjust for any one-time or non-recurring expenses that may have impacted your financial results. Add backs allow you to present your business's financial performance accurately and improve your negotiating position when selling your business.

With the end of another year –particularly one with more normal trading conditions after the disruptive COVID years – comes your chance to take a step back and work on the business, not just in it.
Given the craziness of the past couple of rotations around the sun, you probably haven’t had a proper chance to take stock of how your business is going. With so much change, it’s crucial you do so – and there’s no better time than the present.
REVIEW COSTS
With the soaring inflation, tracking expenses has likely been more difficult this year than previous ones. Investigate where the increases have hit hardest and what can be done to limit their impacts, including:
• Interest rates – If you haven’t already, review your loans to see if refinancing and/ or switching lenders could drive down ballooning repayments.
• Labour – explore ways of attracting/ retaining skilled workers without blowing out your wages bill e.g. staff discounts, additional leave, training, or informational resources (like a copy of my book On Your Own Two Feet) to help them battle rising costs at home and at work!
• Business premises – right-size your premises to the company’s current needs. If most staff are still working remotely since COVID, consider downsizing and pocket the savings. Alternatively, sub-let unused office/ warehouse/parking spaces to offset costs.
• Marketing – social media, advertising etc. are money pits if their costs and returns aren’t properly tracked. Review these objectively to see if you’re actually reaching your intended audience and generating cut-through.
GET FORECASTING
Armed with your numbers from 2022 and 2023, you can have a good go at forecasting for the year ahead.
Pay particular attention to:
• Taxes and government benefits – the new federal government’s first Budget was recently delivered, so things may have changed or soon change for your business.
• Pricing – charge what you’re worth,
reflecting both the value you deliver and your actual cost base.
• Exchange rates – avoid wild FX fluctuations by implementing stop loss orders and other control mechanisms in advance.
REVISIT CONTINGENCY PLANS
Renewed east coast flooding, the Ukraine war, and COVID are examples of why contingency plans are needed. How adequate are yours?
Be sure to revisit:
• Insurances – if you’ve had to claim for fire or flood damage in recent years, your premiums may now be higher and/or your coverage restricted. Determine whether you’re paying more but getting less, and what alternatives are available. Also, if your business has grown and/or acquired new stock, update your coverage or risk being underinsured.
• Cash flow safeguards – planning in advance for lulls in cash flow will enable you to act faster and in a less knee-jerk way.
• Emergency fund – have an emergency cash stash set aside. If you’ve had to dip into it, plot out how to replenish the money.
• Crisis procedures – plan for natural disasters, power failures, cyber-attacks, unexpected staff absences (including your own) etc.
STREAMLINE EXPENSES
A major cash flow drain come year’s end is employee expenses – everyone lodging months’ worth simultaneously before disappearing on holiday.
Reduce this burden by streamlining the process and encouraging staff to lodge claims more regularly:
• Digitise your systems – expenses apps make it as easy as photographing a receipt at the point of purchase and submitting the claim instantly.
• Weekly reminders – a simple prompt can nudge people into action.
• Company credit cards for key staff –(provided you can repay them on time.) Track spending in real time and earn rewards points for offsetting travel/other expenses.

FINANCIAL DUE DILIGENCE WHEN BUYING A “GOOD” BUSINESS: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
Acquiring an established business can be a lucrative opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs to capitalise on the groundwork laid by the previous owner and drive immediate income. However, it is crucial to approach this transaction with careful consideration and conduct thorough financial research. As with any significant investment, conducting due diligence is essential to evaluate the business's financial health and ensure that the purchase is a sound decision.
UNDERSTANDING FINANCIAL DUE DILIGENCE
Due diligence is a crucial process that involves evaluating the financial, operational, legal and macroeconomic aspects of a
business to verify its value and potential for success. Financial Due Diligence, in particular, is essential to conduct a thorough investigation of the business's financial viability, including its revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, cash flow and profitability.
This process can provide a deeper understanding of the financial aspects of the business, identify any potential financial risks or issues, and help purchasers make a careful assessment of the viability of the purchase. By conducting financial due diligence, purchasers can gain valuable insights into the financial performance of the business and make informed decisions about whether to proceed with the acquisition.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Analysing the financial performance of a business is not just about reviewing financial statements; it also involves understanding the key drivers of the business's financial performance. For instance, identifying the business's main revenue sources and the factors that affect profitability can help determine the potential for future growth and inform investment decisions. Additionally, it's important to consider the business's financial ratios, such as the debt-to-equity ratio, to determine its overall financial well-being or ability to meet its financial obligations.
To conduct a proper financial analysis, it is important to review the business's financial statements, including the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement, to identify any significant changes in revenue, expenses and profits over the past few years. A healthy and consistent revenue, profit growth and a healthy profit margin are positive indicators of a sound financial foundation. It is also crucial to examine the business's accounts receivable and accounts payable to ensure that it collects payments from customers on time and pays suppliers on time to maintain a positive cash flow.
MACROECONOMIC ANALYSIS
From a macroeconomic standpoint, when conducting financial due diligence in buying a "good" business, it is essential to thoroughly research the industry and market in which the business operates. This involves analysing industry trends, competition and overall outlook to determine the potential for growth and sustainability. Understanding the industry can also help identify regulatory requirements and
opportunities for expansion while mitigating risks.
This step in financial due diligence also involves examining the market for the business's products or services, such as identifying the target customers, their needs and the market size. It is also helpful to assess whether the market is growing or shrinking. A good understanding of the market can help determine the potential demand for the business's offerings, which could expose what to expect in terms of longterm profitability.
MANAGEMENT CAPABILITIES
Assessing the financial acumen of the management team is also a crucial part of financial due diligence. This includes analysing their ability to manage cash flow, their track record of making sound financial decisions and their understanding of the business's financial position.
By evaluating the financial management capabilities of the current team, purchasers can identify any potential areas of weakness that may require additional support or resources to ensure the business's financial stability in the future. This information can also help purchasers determine if they need to bring in additional financial expertise to support the team or if the purchaser will need to take a more hands-on role in the financial management of the business.
LEGAL AND TAX LIABILITIES
It's critical to review the legal and tax aspects of the business before buying it as these can have a significant impact on its financial health too. This includes any pending litigation, contracts, leases and tax liabilities. It's important to ensure that all legal and tax issues are resolved before
finalising the purchase to avoid any unexpected expenses or legal disputes.
By conducting thorough legal and tax due diligence, purchasers can identify and address any potential financial liabilities before acquiring a business. This can help purchasers avoid costly surprises and ensure the purchase is a beneficial financial decision. Hiring an accountant or tax advisor can provide valuable expertise to help navigate any complex legal or tax issues that may arise during the due diligence process.
GROWTH POTENTIAL
When evaluating a business for purchase, it is crucial to assess its growth potential. This includes analysing the business's past performance and identifying areas for future growth, such as expansion, introducing new products or services, or improving marketing efforts. However, it's equally important to research the current and future growth trends in the industry that the business operates in, as this can impact the business's potential for growth. By looking at growth opportunities and potential challenges, purchasers can better understand the business's potential for sustained growth.
Overall, in buying a good business, performing a comprehensive evaluation of all pertinent factors is essential. Performing financial due diligence is vital to guarantee that purchasers make a knowledgeable choice and invest in a business with the potential for success. Significantly, seeking the guidance of seasoned professionals, such as solicitors, accountants and business brokers, can assist purchasers in making a well-informed judgment.
WARNING: THE PROFIT AND LOSS STATEMENT DOESN’T TELL THE WHOLE STORY!
Afinancial report that shows a business’s revenues, expenses, and profit or loss over a specific period is called a Profit and Loss Statement, otherwise known as an Income Statement.
burdened by a substantial amount of debt. This can significantly impact the availability of working capital, leading to cashflow issues, which is a commonly observed concern.
Author: Richard Jacobs Business BrokerM. 021 272 8179
E. richardj@barkerbusiness.co.nz www.barkerbusiness.co.nz
While the Profit and Loss Statement does provide important information about a business’s financial performance, it is very unlikely to tell the whole story.
A very important consideration is that the Profit and Loss Statement only shows what’s happening within a given time frame, and it doesn't account for cash flow. A company's profitability may not necessarily guarantee financial stability, especially if it is
A potential investor ought then to consider the debt profile of the business and consider the following:
1. Accounts receivable - If customers fail to pay their dues on time.
2. Accounts payable - If you fail to pay your dues on time.
3. Seasonal fluctuations - This can significantly impact cashflow. For example, if
the business experiences higher sales during the holiday season, it can lead to increased cashflow, but if not managed carefully, could create problems off season.
4. Economic conditionsPrevailing and potential future such as recessions, pandemics, stock market crashes or simply less access to cheap money through financial institutions.
5. Capital expendituresThe need to replace old equipment or purchase new equipment for growth.
6. Debt and interest payments.
7. Changes in Government regulations - This may include variations in tax laws and obligations.
8. Management decisions - Such as hiring new employees or investing in new projects.
Profit and Loss Statements only focus on the financials, leaving out other critical data metrics that could impact business performance. Consider –
1. Customer satisfaction - Collect data to understand how happy customers are with products and services offered.
2. Return on investment - How much a business earns compared to how much it has invested in its operations.
3. The percentage of market share and the total sales revenue a business generates for its particular industry is an important indicator of its success.
4. Net Promoter Score is an important metric that measures a business’s overall customer satisfaction, loyalty, and likelihood to recommend to others.
5. Customer acquisition cost –How much a business spends on acquiring new customers.
6. Lifetime value of a customer which is the amount of money that a customer may generate for a business over their lifetime.
7. The rate at which sales revenue is increasing can indicate a company’s potential for long-term success.
8. A business’s website traffic and engagement – Visitor frequency, bounce rate, and engagement can tell a lot about its marketing strategy’s effectiveness.
9. Other considerations might also include overall business culture, customer churn, supply chain and logistics, and/or lease requirements, especially if the business is location dependent.
When making decisions, businesses usually need to take into account the opportunity costs involved. However, many businesses fail to document these costs in detail, resulting in the loss of valuable indicators for decisionmaking processes.
It’s difficult to assess whether a business choice was the best fit or not, especially when the risk profile of the owner is not known, i.e., risk adverse vs risk taker. Has an owner missed significant opportunity because they are risk adverse? Has this impacted the possibility of resurrecting opportunity in the future?
Certain businesses may need to make significant investments in tangible, intangible, and inventory assets, but the returns on these investments may not necessarily match those of other businesses that don't require such investments. Consequently, while
profits may be favourable, the return-on-investment may still fall short of expectations.
It is therefore essential to look beyond the Profit and Loss Statements to make well-informed decisions.
Consider reviewing these other useful documents.
1. Sources and application of funds.
2. Cashflow statements.
3. Employment, supplier, customer contracts.
4. Industry certification –Hygiene, food, chemical standards.
5. Lease documents including details of commencement dates, rights of renewals.
6. Ensure you get a good understanding of staff, roles, costs, experience expertise, personal goodwill of the Owners i.e., is the business dependent on this?
Conclusion
While an Investor will initially review the Profit and Loss Statements to get a rough-cut idea of the business and its financial performance or viability, an astute Investor will review considerably more available metrics to build a much more holistic understanding of the business as a going concern.
It’s in your best interest to ensure all your ducks are in a row and anticipating the information and documents an Investor or Buyer is going to want to see.
WAYS TO PREVENT A BUSINESS FAILURE
10 Ways to Prevent a Business Failure
If you have the desire to set up a business, or are already running one, then it’s important to check in on the realities of running it. Take a look at these top tips for remedies to prevent business failure.
1. DO YOUR RESEARCH.
You need to understand the market need for your product or service. Are you sure there is a need? Can you identify any similar products or any trends in the industry you are entering? Do you know who your competitors are (understand what they do well, or maybe where the gaps might be)? Who are you targeting? How will you grab their attention? What is the hook to get them to work with you?
2. CREATE A LIVING BUSINESS PLAN.
My pet peeve is people going to the trouble of creating a business plan and then putting it in a drawer and never looking at it again! Make it count. It will help set your direction and an action plan for your business goals and objectives. Be organised about it. You know what they say: ‘Failing to plan is planning to fail!’ A plan will
help you focus and stay on track (especially if you revisit it regularly).
3. GET THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT OR BACKING YOU NEED.
Your business plan will go part of the way to securing the cash you need to start your business. You have to be clear on what costs are required to set up and run your business. Set-up costs often come as a shock.
Consider whether you need to borrow money. Business loans can be expensive, so you might need to finance equipment instead of buying it outright to balance or smooth cash needs in your first six months.
4. MANAGE CASH FLOW LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT.
Follow the golden rule: ‘cash is king’. It’s so important to make sure that you are being paid on a similar timeline to when you pay your suppliers, so look carefully at the payment terms. Marry income with outgoings as well as possible. How is the business bank balance? Are your debtors paying you in a timely manner?
Are you ensuring you pay your creditors on time?
5. BECOME A MARKETING ACE OR WORK WITH SOMEONE WHO IS.
Marketing your business is a necessary and ongoing requirement to continue to have visitors or customers come to your business or visit your website. It’s also critical for attracting new customers and for retaining your loyal customers. I’m sure you like
Instagram and shares a new model or improved version. Or the people running the local eatery add something new to the menu, giving you another reason to pop by. There are many options for marketing both online and offline. Remember to measure your return on investment so you know what channel or marketing tool works for you. (For example, has there been an increase in visitors to your business or website since you did a local area mail drop?) Have you considered the role of an influencer in your marketing strategy?
6. STAY ON TOP OF CUSTOMER NEEDS AND YOUR COMPETITION.
Asking for feedback is one of the most powerful ways to stay on top of your customers’ needs. Don’t be afraid to seek feedback: it’s a gift. You can build greater loyalty by taking this feedback on board. Needs
change over time, but don’t lose sight of your customers once you are knee deep in running your business. Losing sight of them can have people running to your competition. If possible,
develop a healthy relationship with your competitors. I like to think the world is big enough for everyone.
7. LEARN TO LOVE CHANGE.
You are bound to face challenges along the way in your business, so it would be wise to remember the motto ‘failing cheaply and quickly’ rather than hanging on. Don’t be afraid to call it. Equally, welcome change for you, for your industry and for your customer. Embrace change and ensure your business is responding to it. Being adaptable impacts business longevity.
8. BE CLEAR ABOUT THE PACE OF GROWTH THAT WORKS FOR YOU.
Ever heard of growing pains? It’s a balancing act starting a business and with all of your pre-work done so well, sometimes your business can feel like a runaway success, but being prepared for future growth is an important success factor. Consider what the growing needs could be in your business, such as the numberof people you need, type of technology, working space, greater customer expectations, new industry regulations. Growth can be a major business risk and you need to create a plan that can address it.
9. RECRUIT AND RETAIN THE RIGHT PEOPLE.
When starting out, consider who you need to close your skill gap. Who do you need to hire to complement your skills? Then consider diversity, personal fit, attitude and experience. The next challenge is retaining people and working to create a culture that makes people want to stay. Even better is if they hear about how good your culture is from their peer groups who work for your competitors and want to join your business!
10. SEEK HELP AND SUPPORT.
As I mentioned at the start of the chapter, your own business can be extremely rewarding, but exhaustion can also destroy you and the business. Being an entrepreneur can be lonely. You must reach out to your peers, have a coffee with them, listen to a business-minded podcast, locate a business coach and talk to your accountant. They can all help you. Dialling up your personal finance village early is a must. Talking regularly to your trusted advisor about the health of your business will go a long way towards keeping you focused.
ACCURATE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ARE CRUCIAL IN SELLING A BUSINESS. HERE’S WHY.
Author: Con TsonisBusiness Sales Specialist | Licensed Estate Agent P. 03 9819 4211 E. con.tsonis@linkbusiness.com.au linkbusiness.com.au
Accurate financial statements are essential when selling a business. They provide potential buyers with critical information about the company's performance, profitability and overall financial health. Without accurate financials, buyers may be hesitant to acquire the business or offer a lower price than its actual value.
PROVIDE A CLEAR PICTURE OF THE BUSINESS’S FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Accurate financial statements give potential purchasers a clear picture of the business's financial health, including information on revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities. By examining these statements, potential buyers can determine if the business is profitable, has cash flow problems or has any outstanding debts or liabilities.
DETERMINE THE VALUE OF THE BUSINESS
Financial statements are crucial in determining the value of a business because valuation
methods require accurate financial records to be effective. Accurate financial records help ensure that the business is valued correctly and that the vendor receives a fair price for their business.
ENHANCE CREDIBILITY WITH POTENTIAL BUYERS
Accurate financial statements enhance the credibility of the business with potential buyers. They show that the business is well-managed and that the owners have taken their financial responsibilities seriously. Purchasers are more likely to trust a business with accurate financials, which can lead to a smoother sales process and a higher valuation.
SPEED UP THE SALE PROCESS AND PROVIDE A STRONG NEGOTIATING POSITION
Having accurate financial records can speed up the sales process. If the financial records are accurate and well-organized, the purchaser can quickly review them and move forward with the purchase
process. Additionally, accurate financial statements provide vendors with strong negotiating positions, allowing them to justify a higher valuation for their business and demonstrate the potential for future growth and profitability.
Accurate financial records can also minimise the risk of legal issues arising during the sale process. This ensures that the sale process can proceed smoothly.
FINANCIALS MATTER
In conclusion, accurate financials are crucial when selling a business. Working with a qualified accountant or financial professional to prepare them is important to ensure a successful sale. By working with qualified professionals to generate accurate financial statements, vendors can ensure that the business is valued correctly, build trust with the purchaser, facilitate negotiations effectively, secure financing and protect the reputation of the vendor and the business.

Forecasting future financial outcomes is an essential aspect of business decisionmaking. A business owner can identify potential risks and opportunities that can guide decision-making and help mitigate or capitalize on them by analysing past trends and patterns. Following are some ways financial history can help forecast future financial outcomes.
IDENTIFYING MARKET TRENDS
Market trends for financial forecasts are constantly evolving and can be influenced by a wide range of factors, such as economic indicators, political events and changes in consumer behaviour. Financial forecasts are driven by a combination of these factors as well as other market-specific factors that may impact particular industries or sectors.
By examining historical price trends, volume and volatility, a business owner can identify patterns that can be used to make educated guesses about future trends. This may include data on the performance of individual companies, industry trends and economic indicators among others.
ANALYSING FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Trends and patterns that forecast
future financial outcomes may be identified through an examination of historical financial statements. Historical data may be gathered from such as balance sheets, income statements and cash flow statements.
Insights may be gained from financial statement analysis to forecast a business’s future financial performance. Key factors commonly sought out are changes in revenue, expenses, gross margin, operating margin, net income and cash flow that could possibly impact a business’s future profitability.
Income statements may be reviewed to look for trends in revenue and expenses over time as well as changes in profit margins. The income statement shows a business’s revenue, expenses and net income or loss for a specific period.
ANALYSING THE BALANCE SHEET
The balance sheet shows a business’s assets, liabilities and equity at a specific point in time. Changes in the business’s assets and liabilities over time, as well as trends in key financial ratios, such as debt-to-equity and current ratio, may be utilised to form a clear picture of a business’s current financial performance and how it may impact the future.
Author: Steven Mostafa and Nadia Polzella linkbusiness.com.auREVIEWING THE CASHFLOW STATEMENT
The cash flow statement shows a company's cash inflows and outflows for a specific period. Trends in cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities may be found here. A thorough analysis could identify the impacts of any major capital expenditure or financing activities on the business's cash position.
CONCLUSION
Financial history is not a foolproof method of forecasting as there are many variables that can impact the economy and the behaviour of consumers. Notwithstanding this, using financial history as a guide can help business owners make more informed predictions about the future and make better decisions about investments, business strategies and policies.
Web development and design done right the first time
THE ONE THING SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS GET SO WRONG (SALES VS PROFIT)
There’s a big mistake that many small business owners make and not understanding this will have a huge image on your capacity to grow a successful and lasting business. It’s the distinction between sales and profit. Let’s do an accounting 101 (don’t worry, I’ll try and make it fun)!
Sales is the amount of revenue or income your business generate and it’s a completely different figure to your profit. For instance, one of my clients was an interior designer. When we first worked together, she proudly shared, “I make a million dollars a year.” And she was right, she did make $1m in sales per year. But she was struggling big time with cashflow, and when we dived into her reports a little deeper, we realised that she spent around $400,000 on stock and another $400,000 on her team, the warehouse, office and other business overheads. Her actual profit was only $200,000 per year, and she then had to pay taxes out of this amount.
The truth of her situation was not, ‘I make a million dollars a year’; it was, ‘I turn over a million dollars of sales a year and make a profit of $200k per year before tax.’ That’s very, very different to making a million dollars a year in profit, and, as a business owner, you need to be crystal clear on the difference between the two. Why is that?
Your sales number might sound
impressive on paper but that’s not the money you get to keep in your bank account. Out of that money needs to come your business expenses. So you actually only get to keep your profit (or wage). And out of that, you need to pay your taxes. As a qualified accountant (CPA) I have seen many business owners unfortunately get into a financial pickle because their profit and their cashflow isn’t where it needs to be to sustain the business on an ongoing basis. And this is a problem, because poor cashflow is the primary reason why small businesses fail.
If you want your business to be a raving success (and you should!) one of the most important things you can master is your business financials. There can be a lot of resistance to this, as some people believe that finances are boring or overwhelming… but the truth is that they aren’t that hard once you understand how.
The first thing you need to understand is how to read a profit and loss report as this will empower you to know how much profit your business is making. It can also be really helpful to create a budget for your business, so that you have a clear plan of your incomings and outgoings for the coming year (and you can plan for your profit). The final finance tool to master is a cashflow forecast. Inside a cashflow forecast, you plan the timings of your cash inflows (and outflows) to ensure you never run out of cash.
Author: Clare Wood Qualified Accountant (CPA) and AuthorI think I’ve made my point by now: focusing on just the sales figure can be inaccurate and misleading, especially to you, the business owner. Getting clear on your profitability is the secret to building on it and growing your business (in a meaningful way). How do you even know if you’re making more money if you don’t even know how much you’re making to begin with? Let’s start changing the conversation around profit to set yourself up for your most successful business!
A numbers nerd and accountant (CPA), Clare Wood is not your average bean counter. As a money mentor, she uses her number powers for good to help entrepreneurs transform their money mindsets by following her proven frameworks to create big, beautiful business profits.

STATEMENTS AS KEY BASIS WHEN BUYING A BUSINESS
Financial statements are an indispensable tool for evaluating the value and potential of a business for sale. These documents offer critical insights into the economic wellbeing of a business, providing key information for potential purchasers to assess whether it represents a good investment opportunity. They also enable purchasers to assess the business's value and its associated potential risks.
When evaluating a business, it is essential to review the three primary financial statements: the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement.
EVALUATING FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
Financial statements offer a comprehensive overview of a business's financial performance over a certain period, covering critical areas such as revenue, expenses, profits and cash flow. Analysing these figures enables potential purchasers to gauge the business's financial health and determine if it's a wise investment.
To evaluate a business's financial performance accurately, it's crucial to compare its financials with industry benchmarks and historical data. This provides insights into areas where the business is performing well and where improvements are necessary. It's also vital to consider non-financial factors such as market share, customer satisfaction and employee morale, as they play an important role in long-term business success.
BUSINESS VALUATION
Valuing a business involves determining its monetary worth, essential for evaluating potential sales, acquisitions, mergers or investments. While financial statements are a crucial source of information to determine a business's value, they must be analysed in conjunction with other factors, such as industry trends and market conditions, to understand its true worth exhaustively.
By thoroughly analysing a business's financial statements, potential purchasers can estimate its value and decide on a fair price to offer. However, financial statements should not be viewed in isolation, as they only provide a part of the overall picture. Factors such as market demand, competition and management expertise also play a significant role in determining a business's value.
IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL RISKS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Financial statements offer valuable insights into areas of risk and opportunity that potential purchasers should consider. By examining financial statements, purchasers can identify risks, such as high debt levels, declining revenues or low profitability, that may threaten the viability of a business. Additionally, financial statements can help identify areas of opportunity, such as strong cash flow, a loyal customer base or valuable intellectual property that could fuel growth.
To identify potential risks, purchasers can analyse the business's balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement. A high level of debt on the balance sheet may indicate
financial risk, while declining revenues on the income statement may indicate operational risk. Cash flow statements, on the other hand, can help identify liquidity risks. Other sources of information, such as industry reports, economic data and news articles, can also provide helpful insights.
By combining information from various sources, purchasers can understand the risks and opportunities facing a business. This can aid their decision-making process and help them make more informed decisions.
NEGOTIATING FINANCING
Financial statements are essential in negotiating financing support for an acquisition. Prospective lenders will want to evaluate the financial statements to determine the level of risk involved in lending to the business. In addition, financial statements can assist potential purchasers in determining the amount of financing they require and the terms they can negotiate.
Overall, financial statements play a vital role in the due diligence process, providing valuable information to potential purchasers to make informed decisions about acquiring a business. They enable the assessment of the business's financial health, identification of potential risks and opportunities, determination of its value and negotiation of financing. Financial reports offer valuable insights into the financial performance of the business being acquired and help potential purchasers decide whether to proceed with the acquisition.

PROFIT FIRST: HOW THIS BOOK CAN HELP YOU INCREASE THE ASKING PRICE OF YOUR BUSINESS SALE
Net profit is arguably the biggest driving factor in determining the asking price of a business sale. It tells the owner and potential buyer how much money they can make from running that particular business. This number will be used as part of the buyers decision making process, especially when considering their ROI.
While there are other factors to consider when setting an asking price for a business sale, such as stock, equipment, trademarks, goodwill, etc… it all starts with the profitability of the business.
If a business is not breaking even, there are minimal wages to a working owner, the balance sheet and P&L are showing very little growth year on year - the asking price of a business sale is greatly affected.
To increase the asking price when selling a business, owners should develop a solid exit strategy and prioritize profit, and that is where the book "Profit First" by Mike Michalowicz could help business owners to maximise their sale price.
This book presents a unique approach to managing the finances of a business and argues that traditional accounting methods are flawed. Michalowicz suggests that business owners should allocate profit first and then operate the
business with the remaining funds. In essence, the "Profit First" system involves setting up multiple bank accounts and allocating funds to specific purposes such as profit, owner's compensation, taxes, and operating expenses. By prioritizing profit, business owners can ensure that they are taking home a portion of the revenue they generate and not just using it to cover expenses.
This system can be beneficial for business owners who are looking to sell their businesses. The system helps to increase profitability, which is an important factor in determining the value of a business. When buyers are evaluating a business, they typically look at the financials, including the profit margin, revenue, and expenses.
By implementing the "Profit First" system, business owners can demonstrate to potential buyers that they have a solid financial foundation and are maximizing profits. This can help to increase the asking price and make the business more attractive to buyers.
Following this system can also help business owners develop a solid exit strategy. By knowing exactly where money is being allocated, it is easier to transition a new owner into the business. By prioritizing profit, business owners can ensure that they have built
up a cash reserve, which can be used to finance their retirement or other business ventures. This can help to ensure a smooth transition of ownership and increase the chances of a successful sale.
If you are looking to sell a business, its important to focus on maximising your profits 6-12 months in advance. Selling a business that is on a decline will never receive an optimum sale price, if your business is well established and stable you can still fine tune your operations and maximise that dollar figure. Remembering, a higher net profit is generally a driving factor for the business's asking price.
By prioritizing profit, business owners can increase the value of their businesses and develop a solid exit strategy. This system can help to ensure a smooth transition of ownership and increase the chances of a successful sale.
5 WAYS CHATGPT WILL CHANGETHE WAY YOU RUN YOUR BUSINESS
If you're like me and many other business owners, you're probably struggling to balance your work and personal life. With the ever-increasing demands of work, it's easy to get lost in the daily grind and forget about the important things in life. With the help of ChatGPT, we can find ways to be more productive, get more done in less time and free up time for what’s truly important.
Here are 5 virtual roles ChatGPT can take on in your business, leaving you for more value adding activities.
1. THE VIRTUAL PERSONAL ASSISTANT
There have always been times when I wished I had an assistant to help me with my day-to-day admin, leaving me free for more high-value activities like managing client relationships, winning new work and engaging with my stakeholders.
ChatGPT can do things like drafting emails, proofreading and starting just about anything.
Example Prompts:
• Proofread this report to ensure that it is free of spelling and grammatical errors.
• I need to write a proposal to a new client. How would you suggest I structure it?
2. THE VIRTUAL BRAINSTORMER
Let's say you have a new a project but you're not quite sure where to start and what direction to take it in. You could spend hours researching and brainstorming on your own, trying to come up with ideas that would make the task a success. Or you could call several meetings involving a number of people and use up a pile of hours to ‘brainstorm ideas’. Before succumbing to that, try asking ChatGPT.
Example Prompts:
• What are some innovative ideas for our new product launch?
• How can we make our company's website more user-friendly?
3. THE VIRTUAL SUMMARISER
Remember all those times you have had piles of reports or articles as pre-reading for a meeting, but you didn’t have the time to read each report in detail, so you scanned it quickly trying to absorb all of the information and key points? Then remember how you showed up to the meeting and kind of bluffed your way through it?
Bluff no more. Now you can
use ChatGPT to summarise the text for you.
All you need to do is copy and paste the text into the prompt box (being mindful of the commercial and confidential nature of the work) and ask it to summarise the content for you.
Example Prompts:
• Can you summarise this article in three to four sentences?
• What are the key takeaways from this report?
4. THE VIRTUAL RESEARCHER
Ask it to generate a quick summary or explanation of the latest trends and developments in your industry or provide information on a specific topic or generate a list of relevant sources and key points.
It’s a great way to
stay informed and make better decisions for your work and look wildly intelligent in meetings when you cite competitor info.
However, in my experience, not all the suggested references and citations exist, or are even accurate. You will need to check and review them the oldfashioned way with Google.
Example prompts:
• Research the impact of remote work on employee productivity and job satisfaction and provide a summary of the findings.
• What are the latest trends in e-commerce? Provide a report on your findings.
5. THE VIRTUAL TACTICIAN
How good are you at saying ‘no’? I know I’m not. When you need to give someone a difficult message, do you stumble over your words?
I have been using ChatGPT to give me advice on politely saying no, expressing condolences, getting
meetings with new leads and writing LinkedIn connection messages.
Example prompts:
• I have to negotiate an increase in fees with my client. Help me make a compelling argument, and then provide counter arguments with reasons they might use against it.
• I have a difficult team member who is not meeting their deadlines and causing delays on our project. Tell me how to have a conversation with them using a coaching approach.
It's important to remember that technologies like ChatGPT have the potential to give us back to the people, things and activities that fill us with joy, not give us space for more work.
By outsourcing these mundane or tedious tasks, you can free up your time and energy to focus on the tasks that matter and create more capacity for what's important in your life.
