In Show 074 – Selling Part of Your Business originally broadcast on Facebook Live on Monday 26 March 2018 we explore this interesting topic.
Show Notes
Today on Fast Fix Monday we’re going to talk briefly about selling part of your business. All this month we’ve been focused on selling your business outright. That’s not always the best option. Selling just a portion of your company may be the better the solution.
The classic example of this is a real estate company that typically has two income streams. The first is the sales part of the business. The second is the rent roll of properties rented on a monthly basis. Both are very valuable assets and it’s very common for a real estate company to maintain it’s sales business while selling the rent roll for a high profit.
There are many reasons why you would want to sell just a part of the business. The first is that you may be in need of some quick cash. Selling part of your business can alleviate that fiscal need while maintaining an income stream for the future. A partial sale can also help you to access resources that you can then use to invest in another part of the business. Remember to exercise caution. Once you sell you can’t get it back!
The important thing to remember is that you need the right advice before you commit to a sale.
