Transitioning Your Janitorial Business to New Owners
Date: Tuesday, November 12, 2024
Time: 1 - 2 p.m. CT
Presented by: Peter Holton, Managing Director, Caber Hill Advisors
Ownership changes impact a business at all levels, from customers to employees, referral sources to vendors, and all other aspects of the operations. The transition breaks down into three phases:
- Prior to closing (e.g. due diligence)
- The first 30, 60 and 90 days after closing
- The longer-term
Prior to closing, it is important for a new owner to thoroughly investigate the legal, financial, and strategic issues related to the transaction, and plan for resolution either prior to or immediately following closing. Here is a sampling of the questions that will arise:
- How are leases and contracts assigned to the new owner? •How are balance sheet items like accounts receivable and accounts payable handled?
- How much working capital is required?
- What should be done prior to closing, and what can wait until after closing?
- When and how should the new owner be introduced to employees?
- On what items are sellers and buyers most likely to disagree, and what is the simplest path to resolution?
In the first 30, 60, and 90 days after closing, the buyer and seller should plan to work together to resolve any items that were deferred until after closing. Whether this involves the seller working full-time or simply being available on an as needed basis is subject to negotiation, but either way it is inevitable that the two will have plenty of work to do once the deal closes. For a new owner, this is also the time to make any integration or infrastructure upgrade decisions, including practice management software implementation and file conversion. For a seller, this is when you begin winding down your business, closing accounts, and investing the proceeds of the sale.
The final phase of the transition is the most open-ended, and will be determined by several factors including the type of buyer and the sales channels utilized by the seller. This presentation will explore the differences between selling to a large corporation and an individual or small business owner.
