IMPORTANCE OF GOODWILL IN SELLING A FIRM Buying and selling a business is both critical as well as important as far the global capital growth is concerned. But other than both these parties, many other factors are involved in this transaction. When we discuss in detail about How to Sell a Business, many determinants come into play, one of which is the customer base. When business owners consider the proposition of selling, they keep in mind the number of customers they currently have and the targeted audience they’re planning to tap. This drives the entire marketing strategy in a way, that if succeeded, those untapped audience will lure towards this business and will solidify the brand image in the market too.
Taking the same as the premise, we can further add that if you are a seller and are looking for potential buyers who would Value your Business the way you hope them to do or do you want to end up taking the money without even considering the possibility that you could have been pushy in taking this decision, and your business is not yet ready to be exposed to any M&A transaction. To correctly determine the true valuation of a company one needs to keep a check on factors like a bigger customer base that directly related to the sales. This is when the goodwill of a firm comes into play. Below are some situations that are shaped up as convenient factors that help in creating the goodwill of the a company, but actually are pointers that showcase the role of customers in increasing goodwill of a company and how these instances are beneficial for the seller. 1.Going concern value: When we talk about the going concern value, we consider the organization’s trajectory towards generating income with the existing capital. This point showcases how favorable a business can be for the buyer when it has been managed so well that it doesn’t need any outside financial support to run itself. This helps in generating a trustful perception on the buyer’s end and might escalate the transaction pretty quickly.
2.Excess business income: This pointer deals with the aspects that imply the importance of a vast customer pallet in the generation of the organization’s income. An excess business income is basically the amount of income a company is generating in excess as compared to its market value. This shows the existence of goodwill and how it impacts the overall sales of the business. And as we can see in the above lines, it is evident how an ideal customer base helps an organization to earn so successfully that its going concern value increase. 3.Expectation of future economic benefits: When you think about selling your business and hire professional business brokers, they strategize such plans that can attract the correct buyers for your company. Although both attracting buyers and keeping a sound detail about your company goes hand in hand, both of them have their own tendencies to drive the transaction altogether. To minimize such risks, business brokers tend to present the beneficial aspects o your firm. If your firm satisfies both the above mentioned factors, it might be in a favorable position to attract more and more customers as well as increase the overall sales in the future economic conditions too.
These pointers give out a strong perspective regarding customer base, goodwill and M&A transactions, however, it connects all the three aspects towards one focal point, ‘how to value a business’. When sellers fathom this fact, they tend to understand how important it is to consider intangible assets like goodwill and how efficiently in can escalate the whole process of selling the business. Under a different light, goodwill can be seen as one of the most important assets of a company that benefits all the parties involved in the transaction including the Business Brokers. Speaking of these professionals and focusing on their role on the buyer’s side, we can see how a prospective seller, who has a detailed valuation of his firm, can help their client and save a lot of their time. When you as a seller go with a detailed approach you tend to find more potential buyers because if your business is worthy enough it might open up chances for any firm in the market to grow further in the industry. Creating a strong brand image also helps the buyer to promote their entire business (their own and the newly acquired) without any hassle. If there is a wider customer base, it always helps in marketing all the products and the services. And as far as the seller is concerned, increasing the goodwill of the firm helps them to get their desired purchase price, which in turn can satisfy their need of liquidation.
Now that we’ve mentioned about liquidation, it would be logical to point that as far as recapitalization is concerned, a perfectly valued company that has a significantly impressive goodwill in the market helps the seller with having better chances of getting good management for their firm because the goodwill and the customer base helps the buyer determine what exactly is the business’s approach.
