Key Points to Consider in 2023

More business owners are deciding to sell. The majority are retiring. Business Valuation Resources (BVR) reports that an increasing number of small business owners, many who are aging and no longer willing to wait on the sidelines, believe now is the time to secure their exit strategy. A recent BVR survey shows that the majority (55%) cite retirement as their primary motivation for selling. In addition, a substantial 31% of those surveyed say they are looking to sell now because their business is doing well.

Inflation and labor shortages will continue to impact small businesses. As of now, these issues should not be enough to sway aging and retiring owners to adjust their exit timelines. In fact, if inflation and interest rates continue to rise, this could affect selling prices and the structure of financing moving forward.

Buyer demand should remain strong. We have all experienced the same issues that many businesses are facing with inflation and labor shortages. At the same time, buyer demand has still remained strong. According to the US Census Bureau, new business licenses have continued to rise to record high levels this year.

What are buyers looking for right now?

According to a recent survey conducted by BizBuySell.com, the largest online marketplace for businesses for sale, a large majority of buyers are looking for a profitable business with strong financials. Other important attributes buyers want are a great location that is leased or owned, trained skilled employees, and a big one is seller financing.

    Seller Testimonial - Downtown Direct, Amherst, Ohio

    Retiring owners Liz and Rick Hobson (left, center) have sold their Amherst printing business Downtown Direct to new owner David Routh (right). Downtown Direct will now be Minuteman Press, Amherst, Ohio.

    “As Liz and I were looking to sell the business and retire, we got together with Minuteman Press after visiting their website and learning about their conversion program to help sellers like us. Within 3 months, we had a buyer. Minuteman Press’ Regional VP Rich DeRosa made the process very easy. He worked hard behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly. He was comforting and reassuring. We trusted Rich every step of the way. There have been no major issues and the transition has been enjoyable. We wish David and his family all the best.

    If you choose to sell your printing business through Minuteman Press, you will not go wrong.”
