August 2018Business Owners' Greatest Fear: Not Getting the Value Their Business is Worth |
|
| To our clients and friends:
80% of landscape industry business owners contemplating the sale of their business say that their greatest fear is not getting the value their business is worth. This statistic, based on a review of business owners who completed the Value Builder Score over the past year, is very interesting. I suspect that many of those same business owners do not have a clear view of the value of their business and have taken no clear steps to be able to realize that value. That is a pretty serious disconnect between fears and action.
We find the best-prepared business sellers have sought the advice of their professional advisors to understand the value of their business and the factors that drive that value. They have also worked to build the value of their business over time. One way to get started building the value of your business is to get your Value Builder Score. We can also assist you with a market value assessment.
This month, we are releasing the 2018 edition of our annual report Private Equity Investment in the Landscape Industry. The report tracks private equity activity and trends in the landscape industry. Download your copy today.
As always, if you are considering selling or buying a business or you are ready to start exit planning, we would be happy to speak with you. |

| Understanding the value of your business is an important step in exit planning. Many business owners are relying on monetizing the value of their business, but do not have a clear view of the value of their business.
Without understanding the value of their businesses, business owners cannot make informed decisions about planning the sale of the business or identifying ways to increase its value.
The Principium Group offers valuation services to business owners at a very reasonable cost.
