Comment on Introducing The Sellability Score by David C. Smith

David C. Smith — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 18:42:16 +0000

Transitioning out of a business can be difficult. Selling a business that is not sellable is almost impossible. Understanding how sellability can be assessed is important but owners also need strategies for growth, profitability, sustainability and risk mitigation. These strategies help the business owner create and increase the elements of their business that make it attractive to others, resulting in sellability.

Beginning in 2012 Valens Point (www.valenspoint.com) will debut a new blog: TheSellableBiz.com that will serve as a resource for business owners looking to increase the value of their business, implement strategies to create sellability, and prepare for a successful transition.

We would love to hear your ideas about the actions you believe will help a business owner increase the sellability of their business.

Comment on Vila & Son Seeks Buyer or Investor by CP

Yeah, well they didn’t exactly “LAY OFF” all of the workers, they just shut the doors without paying the employees for the hours worked. The laborers are due for 2 weeks worked and the managers (salaried employees) are due for 3 weeks worked. We can’t get answers WHEN or IF we’re getting paid….how can a company just leave all of the employees out to dry like that when they were so loyal to MR. JUAN CARLOS VILA for so many years!?!?!?

Comment on Where are the sellers? by Mark

I’m a seller!
Our client is a privately held decorative accessory manufacturer and distributor, one that presently finds itself in a unique situation. The decorative marketplace has been turned upside down by the recent economy and many of the weaker players did not survive. Our client’s competitive advantage in this climate is that they are smaller and nimble as well as being green via its eco-friendly product.

We are looking to speak with individuals who have extensive sales and strategy experience in the home décor, import and/or retail industries. You will be challenged to revive sales to levels which were recently over $1M and assume leadership and ownership in the organization in time. The facility in its current state can run at a capacity of $3M. This is truly an opportunity to invest sweat equity in a company as you help craft its organic growth.

The company is located in the upper Midwest but does business globally. They really need an innovative businessperson who loves wearing their sales hat. There are many sales channels this company has yet to tap into – large retail accounts, internet sales, B2B distributor sales, etc… That is your job, to build the revenue of the company and assume ownership. The company has a healthy line of credit, owes no debt on equipment, leases or to vendors – it’s a healthy cash flow business. You may be required to commit capital to an entrepreneurial venture of this nature.

For immediate consideration, please contact Mark Gragg, Director of Recruitment of the Greenman Alliance. Mark can be reached at 214.385.4115 or by email at mark@greenmanalliance.com.
