A few notes on professional business brokers when selling a company

When the time comes, selling a business is really about a series of decisions.
How much is the business worth? How do you go about valuating the business? What type of organization might be interested in buying or at least investing in the company? How should one go about finding such prospects?

While these decisions are made mostly on a case-by-case basis, one aspect of the overall acquisition process is usually the same: the decision of whether or not to hire a business broker.
Business brokers are a valued asset during the transaction process in that they can call upon their range of experiences, connections and professional networks to ensure that the company is afforded the best possible advice, valuation and deal in selling the business.

Still, there are some things to know before you hiring a business broker. For one, they usually charge about 10 percent of the final transaction price and may even incur additional fees later on in the process. For this reason, it is a good idea to determine what the overall cost will be, even establishing a contract to adhere to.  ”In general, the more a business is worth, the more leverage the seller has when negotiating the broker’s commission and fee,” writes AllBusiness.com.


“If you’re selling a larger business – particularly one worth more than $ 1 million – you may want to consider using a business broker who is a mergers and acquisitions specialist.”

The dual motivations of an entrepreneur and their relation to happiness

The original intentions of launching a business are often indicated by two basic motivations: to create a new and innovative product or service, and to build a company for the purpose of making a living or strong profits. Both have their ups and downs.

The former is akin to an artist's approach, wherein an entrepreneur's vision can be instrumental in building a revolutionary and highly innovative company, but the emotional attachments with which these individuals operate can make them stubborn and unwilling to relinquish power. The latter motivation is more business- or profit-oriented – a strategy that will surely benefit the company's bottom line, but it may also limit the amount of financial risks or creative gambles that the owner is willing to take.

Whatever one's motivation, it is important to determine how much they are emotionally attached to their business creation and how much their own happiness depends on running the company. When selling a business, a strikingly easy way to figure this out is to merely consider the level of pride one has for his or her career.

"One of the biggest reasons we become unhappy is that we fall out of sync with our deepest personal values," author Gretchen Rubin told Inc. magazine. "Recalling your pastimes before all of the pressures of adulthood took over gives you clues as to what will make you happy now."

Five tips for starting a small business in 2011 | Recent News/Blog

Five tips for starting a small business in 2011 | Recent News/Blog

Identifying excellence in a professional business brokerage firm shouldn’t be difficult. Take, for example, the following criteria:

* Proven track record of successful business closings
* High closing ratios
* Ready access to buyers and sellers, both nationwide and internationally
* Systems and processes to match buyers and sellers
* Highly experienced and credentialed business brokers
* Unsurpassed standards of business ethic
* Membership in all significant industry associations, group listing services, multiple listing services and brokerage networks

Founded in 1994 by Roger J. Murphy, Murphy Business & Financial Corporation meets these criteria. As a result, the firm has become one of the largest and most successful business brokerage firms in North America, with offices conveniently located throughout the United States and Canada.

Members of the Murphy team have been carefully recruited and selected for their high level of achievement as former CEOs, CFOs, CPAs, business owners and senior level executives in a wide range of industries and professions. But their accomplishments don’t stop with their prior experience. Our business brokers receive intensive training, ongoing support and many have subsequently received the highest awards, credentials and designations in our industry.

We invite you to learn more about Murphy’s approach to the business brokerage profession. We hope to demonstrate how we provide both clients and professional partners with the highest standards of professional service and unmatched performance in the sales of privately held businesses, mergers, machinery and equipment sales, sales and re-sales of franchise businesses, commercial real estate transactions, business valuations, acquisitions and business consulting.
