Right now, there is a major shift happening in the market of selling FBA businesses…
The market is flooded with businesses wanting to sell!
We are currently tracking over 223 different businesses listed for sale worldwide.
The crazy part is, based on sales in 2018 ~75% of these listings will NOT sell!
At the same time, investors with millions of dollars are rushing in to buy physical product brands with an Amazon sales channel.
So why are so many businesses UN-SELLABLE?
Part of the problem is choice.
The first FBA business sale I worked on sold in just two days, that was back in January 2016. Back then buying an FBA business was new.
So new, some people online even claimed it was against Amazon’s TOS.
Fast forward to 2018…
Now everyone knows you can sell an FBA business and are trying to cash in.
At the same time, investors can now see 20-30 businesses in their target price point within a couple weeks of starting their search.
So even a novice to selling on Amazon, which most investors are, when able to compare 30+ options will see what makes a great investment versus one that is not.
So how do you look at your business as an investor?
It all starts with knowing your numbers and benchmarking your business against others that have sold.
Plus having a team of professionals that help you translate the data into Actionable Insights!
This way you’ll know where your business is currently and what to focus on in order to improve your business and make it more profitable and more valuable and sellable in the future.
The days of waking up on Monday and thinking yeah I want to sell my business are OVER!
There is so much competition just to get investors attention let alone get a deal closed.
Also, just getting an offer doesn’t mean you will sell either…
Investors will want to perform weeks or months of diligence, into YOUR NUMBERS!
So if you want to sell your business you need help understanding the same financial metrics investors are looking for to ensure you have the best chance of selling your business.
The reality is its hard work and most people won’t want to take steps to understand their numbers…
I get it, it’s boring.
If I have more money left over after buying inventory isn’t my business profitable?
The sad truth is, in most cases no.
Or with some businesses their actual net profit, when calculated using Seller Discretionary Earnings, is well below the benchmark of businesses that DO SELL.
So what’s the answer?
You need a team of financial professionals to help you look at your business objectively and work with you monthly to help you improve.
And ensure your business is sellable.
