November 25, 2013
Small Business Development Group, Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of its Sell-Side Buy-Side Advisory services. These services will allow SBDG to represent sellers and or buyers in their most important business transactions. As a buyer and seller of businesses, SBDG is uniquely qualified to provide invaluable insight and knowledge to maximize value for our clients.
Ed Schradermeier, the group?s General Manager and SBDG?s Senior Vice President of Business Development, comments, ?These new services will bring a clear set of business tools to our clients. Whether they are buyers or sellers, these tools are designed to maximize the value proposition. As a public company, Small Business Development Group, Inc. brings vastly superior knowledge to our clients and can bring a firm knowledge of transaction financing that will help more deals close than is likely through the use of conventional business brokers or intermediaries.
?Given the economy and new regulations under consideration, there is a need to help businesses to think outside of the box to get their transactions done. The two glaring issues facing brokers and sellers today are realistic valuations, and buyer financing.
?Realistic valuations need to be tied to the financial market?s expectations. Business valuation is a mathematical process - not an emotional one, or one based on perceived value. It doesn?t matter what a buyer is willing to pay as a premium-to-market if they don?t have enough cash or otherwise can?t access enough cash.
?Buyer financing is not as simple as it once might have been. To be successful, buyer financing must be tied to both the buyer?s and the seller?s objectives, with flexibility. If the buyer has enough cash and the seller will hold paper, the transaction has less to do with valuation. But once a third player is brought to the table in the form of other people?s money to fund the transaction, the transaction becomes very complex. For many reasons, the chances of completion quickly become questionable, at best, without proper valuation.?
The Company has kicked off this effort with 5 initial sell-side engagements from a number of clients and affiliates.
