How To Get Your Renovation Company In Order Before Selling
Before you list your renovation company for sale, even if you are an industry leader, you need to do some housekeeping and get things in order.
- Get your financials in order: All companies that plan to sell need to get their books in order. Strong financials is one of the most important selling points. If your financials are a mess, you could have a more challenging time generating interest.
- Be profitable: Your renovation company needs to be able to show a profit in order to attract buyers. After all, what you are selling is profits and earning potential.
- Have a strong marketing plan: A strong local and online presence is a must today. Does your business have an up-to-date website, strong social media presence, and strong local search presence? All local renovation companies should. Work on generating strong customer reviews to build up your online reputation.
- Get the team in order: Who are the key people who will be staying on with the company after the sale? How many members of the management team? Being able to provide an experienced team that knows the clientele and business operations is an important selling point.
- Systematize your company: Having systems and processes make it easier to manage your company. Do you have a scheduling system? How do you order supplies? How do you invoice and collect funds? You need to make it easy for business buyers to take over operations. Well defined business systems can do this.
- Get your equipment and assets in order: Ensure all your equipment and business assets are up to date and accounted for when selling. Being able to provide top quality equipment and other assets will make your company more attractive.
- Line up new work with repeat customers: Just because you are selling doesn’t mean you should stop booking new work. In fact, it’s an opportunity. Continue business as usual. It’s important to show prospective buyers a strong forecast of future business.
- Assess marketing conditions: Current marketing conditions matter. When you sell is a very strategic decision. If you wait too long or a recession is projected, it could hurt your ability to attract buyers and command top dollar.
These are all things that will help you make your company more attractive to potential buyers. It is also important to get a business valuation to ensure you set the right asking price.
