Factors Which Affect the Overall Value of a Business
Businesses are something which have a tendency to change hands now and again over the entire life of the business. Whether it is a merger or an outright sale, there are certain factors which will affect the overall value of a business that is put up for sale by its current owner. The following paragraphs will highlight some of these factors and explain why the overall value of

There is an often misunderstood part of pricing that can seriously damage the profit potential. It is the effects of the costs of marketing a product or service. As an example, many manufacturers commit 20% of price to marketing; certain consumer products which are quite competitive (e.g. laundry soap) may use up to 65% of price towards advertising to stimulate the marketplace. Contractors allocate generally from nothing to 10% of their pricing to marketing (media ads).

Marketing costs can consist of:

1. Generating stimulus to end-users (leads)

2. Commissions on direct sales (sales professional compensation)

3. Commissions on sales to distribution.

The contractor commented, "I pay my own sales people 10%," as an offer to me. My reply was, "I generated the lead and the sale and I should get 20%, or I'll find another contractor who wants the business." The point is, he didn't clearly understand the value (or costs) of generating a "sellable" lead. He was used to "getting" most of his leads for free from referrals - which is fine, as much as it works. But, if they aren't calling you, you have to go to them - and that costs money. As long as you have leads (that close) coming in, it doesn't matter how they got there.

So, plan on spending (allocating) funds for marketing costs, and reflect those costs in the price. If your marketing costs decrease, either enjoy higher

If you are a franchisor you will soon find how incredibly dishonest some humans are, as they attempt to hide, conceal or not pay their royalties as agreed. Honest men with integrity are so hard to find in this; gimme world.
