- Sell Your C Corp Software Company- Asset Versus Stock Sale
By: Dave Kauppi | - If you are the owner of a C Corp and are planning on selling your software company, you must understand the ramifications of the stock sale versus the asset sale. Here is what happens when there is an asset sale of a C Corp. The assets that are sold are compared to their depreciated basis and the difference is treated as ordinary income to the C Corp. Any good will is a 100% gain and again is treated as ordinary income. This new found income drives up your corporate tax rate, often to the maximu ...

- Selling Your Healthcare Company- Beware Of The Tire Kicker
By: Dave Kauppi | - We are often contacted by a healthcare company owner after he has been approached by a buyer. He wants information from us on the merger and acquisition process, which we are happy to provide. He wants to wait, however, to engage our firm to sell his company "until this situation with the buyer plays itself out."
This is the start of the death spiral. I don't want to sound overly dramatic, but this rarely has a happy ending. These supposed buyers will drain your time, resources, f ...

- Selling Your Software Company- The Number One Value Driver
By: Dave Kauppi | - Why is contractually recurring revenue so important? The first answer is risk. Buying a business is risky. Any factor that reduces this risk is rewarded with transaction value. Forecasted sales, for example, are at the high end of the risk scale and are heavily discounted in value. Historical time and materials revenues that are "most likely to be at about the same level" next year are somewhere in the middle of the risk scale and are valued accordingly.
The owner and key employee ...

- Selling Your Software Company- Deal Structures And Taxes
By: Dave Kauppi | - As a general rule, buyers of businesses have already completed several transactions. They have a process and are surrounded by a team of experienced mergers and acquisitions professionals. Sellers on the other hand, sell a business only one time. Their "team" consists of their outside counsel who does general business law and their accountant who does their books and tax filings. It is important to note that the seller's team may have little or no experience in a business sale transaction.

By: Dave Kauppi | - For many healthcare companies, the answer to that question is a resounding, NO! There is an exception to this with the rapid rise of the new economy, new media, and highly scalable companies like Google, YouTube, Ebay, PayPal, and MySpace. In their case, their prospective customers highly value their newness, their breaking the mold, their non-establishment approach. They are viewed as doing what they do far better than the technology establishment stalwarts. The notable exception to this is App ...

- Selling Your Software Company- Why Use A Merger And Acquisitions Advisor?
By: Dave Kauppi | - Perhaps the most important business transaction you will ever pursue is the sale of your software company. Many business owners attempt to do it themselves and when asked if they got a good deal, many respond with "I think so," or "I got my asking price," or "I really don't know," or "It was a disaster." Often times these very capable business people approach the sale of their business with less formality than in the sale of a home. The purpose of this article is to answer the questions - Why wo ...

- Selling Your Healthcare Company- Why Earnouts Make Sense Today
By: Dave Kauppi | - The purpose of this article is to present earnouts to sellers of healthcare companies as a method to maximize their transaction proceeds. Sellers have historically viewed earnouts with suspicion as a way for buyers to get control of their companies cheaply.

An intelligently str ...

By: Dave Kauppi | - One of the most challenging aspects of selling an information technology company is coming up with a business valuation. Sometimes the valuations provided by the market (translation - a completed transaction) defy all logic. In other industry segments there are some pretty handy rules of thumb for valuation metrics. In one industry it may be 1 X Revenue, in another it could be 7.5 X EBITDA.

By: M&A Guy | - Thinking of selling your business? If you have planned it correctly, most of your transaction proceeds should be long term capital gains. Given the current political climate and the changes coming from the White House, capital gains taxes will come under attack.

- Sell Or Keep Your Business - The Numbers May Surprise You
By: M&A Guy | - In our Merger and Acquisition practice we watch as business buyers go through an exhaustive analysis to determine if it is financially prudent to make a particular company acquisition. Some use EBITDA multiples or free cash flow multiples. Others use the classic discounted cash flow approach while another group might look at a payback period analysis or debt coverage ratios. They all have one thing in common, however. They do a financial analysis as the primary determinant in making a decision t ...

- Sell A Business, Keys To A Successful Exit

- Avoid The Number One Mistake In Selling Your Business
By: M&A Guy | - Ask any business owner who has sold a business or attempted to sell a business, "What would you do differently?" If he or she attempted to sell it without help, chances are pretty good that the transaction did not succeed. If the transaction were actually completed, chances are that they did not get a good price, but had no idea that this occurred.

By: M&A Guy | - If this recent market meltdown has taught us anything it is to make sure you are diversified over several investments and asset classes. Would you recommend that a client put 80% or more of their assets into a single investment? Of course not, but a large percentage of your clients actually have that level of concentration. Your clients that are business owners likely have 80% or more of their family's net worth tied up in their business.

- The Offer To Buy A Business Depends On The Many Characteristics
By: M&A Guy | - Business sellers should be prepared for the multitude of different deal structures that they should expect from various buyers. A business sale often consists of multiple elements like cash at close, seller notes, earn outs, non-competes, escrow accounts, etc. More often than not a first time seller will actually put out his or her hand in a stop gesture and reply, "I only want the full price in cash at close." This article will discuss some of the selling company characteristics that directly e ...

By: M&A Guy | - We recently completed a Merger and Acquisition engagement to sell our client to a large publicly traded company. Our client had started her company 25 years ago and had set it up a C Corp. She never was advised to change that structure in preparation for a much better tax treatment on the sale of the business.

The seller has spent six months of divided focus and many of the normal business development activities have been put on the back burner. His or her business will simply not be as strong if the business sale process is not completed.
Normally a buyer that has made it to this point is the one that recognizes the most strategic value and has indi ...
