Review of Tenfold Business Coaching

Cathy Thesing headshot coaching client

“Our Tenfold coach worked with us to position the business for sale.

The first offer we received was decent but we were confident to decline it and hold out for better. Then we were approached by one of the major players in the Australian aged-care sector with a very attractive offer.

We sold the business and now we have complete financial freedom.”

A business coach has a balanced view of prices

Calculating the value of your businesses’ potential earnings as a price driver.

A word of advice: there are risks involved in selling your business (both obvious risks and hidden risks). Whether you’re aiming to sell to an international company, an Australian listed corporation, consortium, private equity or to another business owner, you should be aware.

An obvious risk – and potentially the most expensive one – is not getting the best price for your business. The harsh reality is that many business owners have a biased view of their own business and its worth. Business owners calculate the energy, effort and sacrifices they have put in to building the business, especially if they started it from scratch. They think about what the business means to them, and they can often overlook or downplay issues that are holding the business back. And that’s the problem that causes the value bias.

But buyers don’t look at where your business has come from or how it got here; they are only interested in how much wealth it can create for them in the future. The potential earnings and asset appreciation are what reflects the full value of the business’ worth to a buyer.
