Dear Successful Entrepreneur!
Are you considering taking the exciting leap into entrepreneurship by acquiring an existing business? We understand the appeal – a turnkey operation, experienced staff, and immediate revenue generation can significantly reduce your entrepreneurial risks. To make this journey smoother, we're here to offer our expertise in drafting a comprehensive business plan and assisting you in securing the capital you need.
Here are some essential steps and considerations to ensure a successful business acquisition:
Assess Profitability: Ensure that the business you intend to purchase is profitable and has the potential to cover loan repayments while providing you with a reasonable return on investment. Request the latest annual financial statements from the seller to thoroughly evaluate the financial health of the business.
Gain Relevant Experience: Before acquiring a business, it's crucial to have some experience and expertise in the industry. This will not only increase your chances of success but also instil confidence in potential investors or lenders.
Contract and Order Transition: Verify if you can seamlessly take over existing contracts, customer relationships, or orders from the seller. This can help maintain the business's revenue stream and minimise disruption during the transition.
To secure the capital required for your business acquisition, you'll need a well-structured business plan and financial forecast. Our team, led by our CEO and Funding Strategist Dagmar Breiling, is ready to assist you throughout this process.
Our services include:
Business Plan Development: We will work closely with you to create a detailed business plan tailored to your specific needs and goals, highlighting the strengths of the business you intend to purchase.
Financial Forecasting: Our experts will prepare comprehensive financial projections, demonstrating the profitability and growth potential of your prospective venture. This information will be invaluable when approaching potential investors or lenders.
Seller Information Coordination: We can liaise with the seller to gather relevant data and documentation needed to complete your business plan and financial forecast accurately.
