DO NOT SELL UNTIL YOU MAXIMIZE YOUR VALUATION
BILLIONS of dollars have been spent and made over the past five years in the DME space. With reductions in reimbursement rates, regulatory audits, the big boys getting bigger, and borrowing rates near all-time lows, it is no wonder why owners are looking to cash in… but should they?
Here are some questions that must be asked and answered BEFORE deciding what the right time to sell is:
1. How do they maximize the multiple that the buyer is willing to pay?
a. What can be done prior to creating the book?
b. What initiatives will create the largest and quickest positive impact to valuation?
2. What does a buyer look for?
3. Should you offer an asset or full stock sale? Which is better for you and why?
4. Have they prepared their business to sell?
5. Is the business ready for the due diligence that will take place if they can get a Letter of Intent signed?
6. Does the seller understand what reduces the valuation of the company and what can be done to mitigate any negative impact? Where the seller will focus their efforts on during the due diligence process.
7. Does the seller understand why offers get reduced at the closing table and how they avoid this happening to them?
8. How does the seller know if the offer is competitive for their business?
