Selling a Business — M&A advice from the trenches

Over at BNET, they are developing a series on the topic of M&A with goal of empowering business sellers and buyers to “Be a Master M&A Negotiator”.  We like BNET because they take complex issues and spell them out in layman’s terms making it easy for most to understand and learn.  The portal with various resources is here

Thus far, they have an assortment of interviews with M&A veterans as well as informative videos with visual & audio demonstrations of common M&A deal challenges.   If you plan to sell a business, this is a great resource so you can get into the head of a potential buyer as most recommendations are for buyers.

I am a subscriber to Inc and read the article - never saw anything relating to internet valuations or multiples on EBITA. I do know that most of our clients website businesses sell for 2.5 - 3.5 multiple range with a few exceptions on either end. Good advice to sellers to get an accurate appraisal otherwise they may leave a lot on the table or worse - never get a deal!
