Kleos Africa webinar Babatunde Akin-Moses - Business Valuation SimplifiedGlory Enyinnaya
Value (like beauty) is in the eye of the beholder - and this is never more apparent than when one is evaluating an emerging or established business.''
When introducing your company to potential investors and partners, a significant portion of the conversation typically revolves around the value of the entity and how much it's worth in an arm's length transaction. Without the proper grounding, you stand at a distinct disadvantage when negotiations of this nature arise.
In this webinar, Kleos Africa consultant and Beta Gamma Sigma member Babatunde Akin-Moses will take you through the fundamental principles which every business professional should know about the art and science of valuation.
Babatunde brings to bear his considerable technical expertise as a PwC and KPMG-trained chartered accountant and First Class economist. He will also draw upon his experience as a technology entrepreneur and CEO of Sycamore, a peer-to-peer lending platform that connects lenders to borrowers using technology.

Boards and C level Executives: Balancing Trust and TensionSharath Martin
History is unfortunately replete with examples of misconduct and other abuses of power by CEOs. This has been the case whether the entities were public listed, private, government, or not-for-profits. Often, the spotlight turns to the Board’s discharge of its responsibilities in light of such misconduct. Questions are raised about the relationship between Executive (EDs) and Non-Executive Directors (NEDs).
Has that relationship become too cosy such that the Board fails to uphold high standards of governance? Do NEDs effectively challenge and evaluate strategic and risk management issues with the EDs?
Conversely, perhaps in response to such criticisms, Boards and NEDs are sometimes accused of being far too intrusive into management and operations. The rising trend of shareholder activism only adds to the challenge.
In the pursuit of exemplary corporate governance to raise organizational performance, how should Boards and C- level executives aspire to work with each other? How should they balance between trust and tension?
It is a given that we will all exit our business at some point - willingly or not! - and it is never to soon to start planning that exit.

A Startup is the Founders’ baby - they dream it, created it and worked tirelessly to make it successful. Deciding it may be time to sell all or part is the easy part - acknowledging and addressing the financial and emotional issues can be challenging.

How do the parties come to a valuation? What is the profile of the likely investor or buyer? These are just some of the questions this webinar addresses.
For most entrepreneurs, marketing tends to take a back seat to the more pressing needs of running a business.

But the fact remains, marketing is essential and it works – if you approach it the right way.

3. Seminar Presenter
Ronald Greeley CMSBB CLU EPC is a retired financial planner with
Over 25 years experience in the financial services sector.
• Born in Toronto and living in Montreal for many years Ron has extensive
experience in management within small, medium and large privately held
companies in addition to having successfully operated and sold his own
business before joining the Sunbelt office on the West Island of Montreal.
• He is trained in the intricacies of pricing businesses, bringing buyers and
sellers together and negotiating long term solutions.
4. Is buying a business the right
decision.
What are your alternatives.
• Finding a job?
• If you find another job will they let you sell it when you
leave?
5. Options
Keeping the job you have?
• How confident are you that your job is secure?
• Do you like your job?
• Can you build wealth based directly on your efforts?
Buy an existing Business or a Franchise!
6. More Options
Retiring?
• Trends are against retirement - evidence is mounting
that people who retire are not as happy as they thought
they would be.
• Many people who want to “Retire” realize they simply
want a change and a new challenge.
7. The Fact
We sell many businesses to people who leave the
corporate world…..
We rarely sell a business for someone who wants
to go back into the corporate world.
8. The Decision
A well known saying among business
owners:
“The worst day of owning your own business is
better than the best day working
for someone else .”
9. First Basic Rule
“Never confuse a business that
doesn’t show a profit for tax
purposes, with a business that isn’t
Profitable”
10. Understanding Why?
• Public Companies do their accounting to Maximize
reported profits profits.
• Private Businesses prepare their tax returns to
Minimize taxable income.
11. The Reality
• Minimizing Taxable income is part of the normal
activities of private business.
• Private businesses rarely have audited financial
statements.
• Private business owners are very concerned with
Confidentiality.
12. You can see, only what is there.
• Small businesses don’t have (or want) the level of
detailed record keeping usually seen in larger
companies.
• Small businesses all have a system although often it is
an inadequate system.
• There are no perfect businesses.
13. Will you thrive?
Must be a business that you will enjoy.
• Dealing with clients, staff , suppliers.
• Hours, location , product or service.
• Image
• Your role.
• Will you have a vision.
14. Suggestions on how to approach your
investigation
• Be persistant, don’t be easily discouraged.
• Recognize the limitations of the available information
and analyze what is available.
15. Strengths and Weaknesses
• Have a clear understanding of your own strengths and
weaknesses.
• View weaknesses in a business as an opportunity.
Remember the profits of the business are being
generated with those weaknesses present. Fixing the
weaknesses should improve the profits for the buyer.
16. Most Important
Determine how much is the minimum you need to
make from the business and determine what is the
investment level you are willing to make.
Typically the higher your investment the higher the
business profitability
17. Financing the Purchase
• 90% of businesses sold have Vendor financing
(10 to 50% is typical)
• Other sources – BDC, SBL, etc.
18. The News
Good News is:
You get to make all the decisions.
Bad News is:
You get to make all the decisions.
19. Owner compensation/benefits that are often identified:
• Salary, vehicle costs, personal insurance,
entertainment not directly related to the business,
some charitable contributions, travel, maintenance
costs for non-business items, rent costs in excess
of normal market rent or rent paid to an entity that
the seller controls, etc.
20. Conclusion
• The taxable income reported on a small business
tax return is rarely an indicator of the true earnings
realized by the business owner.
21. Dealing with sellers
• Confidentiality
This is critically important
• Customers
• Employees
• Vendors
A confidentiality agreement usually grants you the
opportunity to share the confidential information
with your financial advisors.
22. Buyer seller meetings
• Keep a good relationship, you want the seller to help
you after buying the business.
• Focus on determining the skills you will need to
replace.
• Try to ascertain the weaknesses of the current owner
and determine if your skills can add value to the
business.
23. Negotiations
• Don’t confuse the desire to win with what is a fair price.
• Understand how you arrived at the business value before
you start negotiations.
• All negotiations through the broker, it will give both
parties a chance to test the reasonableness of their
requests
24. Due Diligence
• Get everything you need (limited to what is available), move quickly
and be persistent.
• Never lose sight of the characteristics of small business record
keeping. When you own the business you can keep the books any way
you like.
25. Key Points
• Be willing to spend some money in the process to do it
right.
• Always respect the need for confidentiality
• Don’t worry if you’re nervous, it’s natural
26. Headed in the Right Direction
Steps taken by successful buyers of an operating business or
a new franchise:
• Take time to decide if buying a business is best
• If yes, commit the time necessary to accomplish the many
tasks
• Minimize risk
27. Minimize Risk
• VTB with right of offset
• Training and transition program
• Due diligence
– Contracts, financials, operations, staff, systems, equipment, exposure,
customer relationships, supplier relationships, inventory, reputation
• Legal Counsel
– Structure
– Tax planning
– Protection from misrepresentation or failure to disclose
– Title
28. Goal Line
• Keep moving toward the goal, not every deal works out. You may need
to find more than one business to pursue.
• No matter how thoroughly you try to prepare when the day comes to
sign you will still have some unanswered questions.
• There is no such thing as a risk free transaction for a buyer or a seller.
29. Things to Do
• Use a Good Broker
• Be responsive to your broker
• Keep an open mind
• Be forceful and determined…but be reasonable
• Get appropriate legal and accounting advice
30. Thank you!
• Thank you for attending our seminar
• If you feel you have any questions please call!
• I will be pleased to set up a confidential meeting.
