I wan to find Investors with my small business too.

Hi, I agree with most of the previous posts.

Selling a business can be a decisive point in your personal life and career as a professional. After all, I’m sure that besides money you also put in a lot of sweat equity and you don’t want to be short changed.

So, what is the nature of your web-based business, how is its performance given current economic uncertainties, and perhaps most importantly, why do you want to sell it now?

Depending on your planned exit scenario, brining in capital might enable you to cash-in on your success, at least to some extent, but you will still end up running the show. If you’re interested in pursuing other business opportunities, you actually might be better off selling it.

I strongly disagree with the idea that “finding a business broker, who will post your site on a couple of other sites” is a viable alternative. Unless your site is an absolute cash cow, which it isn’t at net profits of $1.5 million/year, a potential buyer will look for synergies, untapped growth potential, and latent business opportunities to maximize his return on investment.

With other words, posting your offer to sell your site on a broker website is very much like posting your personal information on a dating site and hoping someone decent will contact you.

If you want to reap in the benefits of your hard work, you’ll need to work with a seasoned professional/matchmaker, who understands the market, the upside potential of your business, and who can structure a deal that will actually close. Yes, finding someone who’s interested in acquiring your business is actually the easy part of doing M&A.

You may also want to explore developing a “Selling Memorandum”, which pitches your website to potential buyers and creates a starting point for communications.

Pursuing venture capital investments is definitely not the answer. It’s not so much the projected 30% return on investment, but the overall transaction size that disqualifies you – unless your site has the potential to go to $15-$25 million in net profits over the next 3-5 years. And, they will still expect you to run the business. I think an LBO (Leveraged Buy Out) might be a better fit.

If you are interested, please PM me and I will try to give you a few more pointers. I am not an M&A expert, but I have a few contacts I can probably refer you to after learning a little more about your business.

I hope this helps.


Mark

CoqitoLopez,

While there are a number of sites where one can "list " their capital request - I'm not aware of any with investors who specifically invest in the agriculture business.

Without more details, I can't offer any specific advice but here are a couple of general comments:

1. Capital for projects /business in the early stage of development generally comes from the founder's expanded network

2. People who invest in early stage companies, do so because:

           a. They resonate with the "problem" that the business intends to solve.

           b They have or they form a connection with the founder or one of the team

 

If you want to discuss your situation in detail, feel free to drop me a note or contact me directly.

In business, an exit strategy is usually determined at the outset of the business modeling. A good business plan will incorporate an exit strategy for investors, helping to show them that the model will result in profit for them, no matter what. An exit strategy can take a number of different forms, depending on the business, the investment, and the general climate. An exit strategy is often presented as a bail-out option, in case the company begins losing money, or it appears its future is not as bright as predicted.
