Portability:   Suitability for Relocation to other Areas
High	Very portable. Can be relocated to any area without disruption. Few skilled and irreplaceable staff. Most client/supplier contact by phone, e-mail or post. Can be instantly operated from anywhere else at no extra cost. (ie. internet based businesses)
Medium	Possible to relocate with some disruption and cost. Would not be advisable, but is possible. Relocation would not substantially damage the business.
Low	Relocation is not possible. But there may be limited value in licences, patents, technology or access to clients and suppliers which would add value to a similar operation at another location taking over.
Zero	This business can only operate from the area specified. There is no potential whatever for it to be relocated elsewhere.

Other Information:   Additional information demonstrates transparency and attracts more enquiries. We offer several popular headings for commonly requested information. Delete where necessary and please add whatever could be relevant. We will attend to the formatting and layout on receipt of this submission.
The following data headings are offered as suggestions for more information. We have always seen that more disclosure results in more and better quality enquiries. Simply delete what is not available, not relevant or not for disclosure at this stage. We always recommend that the ''Reasons for Sale'' and ''Premises'' information is provided here. These are always the first questions from interested buyers. Photographs or other graphic material (where appropriate and helpful to understanding the business) can be sent to us by email at info@bizforsale.co.za after the listing is up. Please refer to the allocated BfS Ref No when sending..... GENERAL OPERATIONS If it is not an easily understood model, such as a service station or estate agency, then this paragraph would be used to explain what the business does and how it operates. If there are other income streams and minor operations then that can be explained here. Buyers are unlikely to inquire further if they cannot understand what a business actually does, day to day, and what the business model is. PREMISES Leases in place, availability to buy, lease renewal? ASSET STRUCTURING Are there high fixed assets and are they of an appreciating nature? This effects the ROI and profitability as well as the risk profile and sometimes should be detailed to account for the overall ROI percentage. ROI can be recalculated here with appreciating assets removed. What would the assets be worth at a ''fire sale'' (an immediate must sell auction) valuation? PROPERTY MIX If there is fixed property, such as land or buildings, included in the deal then it may be necessary to split the components to get a more accurate ROI value on the operating business, especially where the property is really just used to house the operating business for tenancy purposes. Such as the buildings for a filling station. In the case of a guesthouse business the building and land are the critical asset and a split would perhaps not be relevant. It is normal to give an approximation of the current valuation, reasonably realised, so that a buyer can separate that from the purchase price to calculate a ROI for the operating business to avoid the skew on return introduced by the fixed property. ASSET VALUATION If the asset value is significant in relation to the overall price, then the value may need to be stated. And the valuation method should be specified which could be at cost, at replacement value or what would be realised at a fire sale - which is more like a forced auction. STOCK VALUATION If significant relative to overall price it may need explanation. Does it vary, what is an optimum level, old and slow or current? Valued at cost or replacement or reselling atretail? STOCK INCLUDED If the stock is included in the stated price then that needs to be stated here as well. If the stock is an add-on to the price then it would usually be valued at the time of the sale. You could specify that the vaule would be on cost which might need to be proven. STAFFING Stability, dependency on their skills. Length of service of key staff. Loyalty. Expected reactions to the sale. NEW OWNER'S SKILLS and EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENT Critical - or recommended skill sets or minimal experience? Would the buyer need any special qualifications for legal reasons? MARKET and CUSTOMERS Customer loyalty. Stability of the customer base. State of and expectations for competition. Are there barriers to competitor entry. Brand strength? Market condition - is it expanding or just stable. OPPORTUNITY for GROWTH Market opportunities, what a new owner can bring in, trends and threats. What profits could be achieved under these conditions? Prospects for the location and local demographics. Are there technology advances on the horizon that could be good for this business? LIFESTYLE ISSUES Trading hours. How an owner/operator can take vacations. Positives of the location and working day environment. REASON FOR SALE Always asked sooner or later NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT Will the prospective purchaser be required to sign an NDA before any further details will be released? You may want to use or amend the following wording..... Any interested party will need to be prepared to complete and sign an non-disclosure agreement. Confidentiality could impact on staff issues and/or effect supplier and customer relationships and for these reasons the NDA will specify the limitations on use of information supplied. This protects all parties involved. AVAILABILITY of AUDITED FINANCIALS Another unavoidable. How up to date are they? DUE DILIGENCE Has a DD already been performed? How will non-audited figures be proved? SALE CONDITIONS Would there be any seller finance offered? Warranties on profit or turnover to apply - or to be expressly excluded? PROOF of FUNDING REQUIREMENT If you are attracting type-kickers who cannot come up with finance, then you might want to add a requirement such as the following.....: A potential buyer needs to demonstrate that they have access to the required unencumbered cash funds to finance the cash transaction portion of this purchase. The seller will not provide any documentation, business details or financials and will not accept any offer unless the proof of funding has been provided. HANDOVER ARRANGEMENTS and TRAINING Will there be a stay-on period and/or pre handover training. Manuals, recorded operating procedures, etc.?
