Consumer electronics is big business today. Virtually everyone has a need for consumer electronics. There is a lot of profit potential if you run a well-organized company. There is also a lot of competition in the industry. You’ve got big box store, online retailers, and other local competitors to compete with. Therefore, it’s fairly common to see buyouts, and mergers and acquisitions of these types of companies. Investors, entrepreneurs and even competitors are common buyers. It’s normal for competitors to buy a competitor to take up more market share.
It’s common for owners of consumer electronics companies to sell. Some retire, while others take advantage of the interest in their company to maximize profit. If you are thinking about selling your Business in Canada, you first need to understand how much its worth. To do this you need a business valuation. A Toronto business broker can help you effectively assess your consumer electronics company before selling to ensure you set the right asking price and get the most revenue possible from the sale agreement.
How to Valuate A Consumer Electronics Company with A Business Broker
Valuating a consumer electronics company is different from many other types of companies because of the sheer volume of product and overhead you have as part of operations. Working with a business broker will help you get your books in order and consider ALL factors that can boost the profitability of your company. Business brokers will look at:
- Sales and profit (annual, quarterly, historically)
- Projected sales in the future
- Inventory
- Marketing and digital presence
- Industry reputation
- Staffing
- Location(s)
- Vendor relationships
