Welcome to readers of this, our third edition of the LINK South Africa Business Broker Magazine. It will surprise some readers that the experience of selling a business can be both simple and timely.

There can be many reasons for selling a business and among these, a change of lifestyle, health, age, freeing up wealth or perhaps a move abroad. In all cases, an experienced and capable business broker managing the process will greatly increase the likelihood of a successful outcome.

The complexity of appraising the likely sale price, marketing the business confidentially, negotiating agreements, conditions and terms are everyday tasks for good brokers and needn’t be stressful for the business owner.

For some owners, achieving the maximum price is the key objective whilst others will balance this against finding a buyer with the right “fit” who will care for the company and the employees with the same level of commitment as they have over the years.

The prospective buyer also has many obstacles to overcome. Does he or she have the necessary funds to purchase the business? Do they feel comfortable in their ability to operate the business? Can they convince their family that this is a good move? All prospective buyers have to be able to make that “leap of faith” that is necessary to go from prospective buyer to business owner.

If you are considering the sale of your business, we hope you find the articles informative. If you are looking at buying a business, we have included a selection of our available businesses and there are hundreds more on our website.

If we can be of any further assistance, please don’t hesitate in contacting one of our friendly brokers or drop us a line by email. We also invite you to call us for a confidential chat about your business needs on our toll-free number: 087 820 4600.

What is a Due Diligence?Investors want to know what the return-on-investment (ROI) is versus risk. Since buying a business is an investment decision, the ability to quantify the ROI, as well as the internal and external risks thoroughly, is important. This process is called a Due Diligence.

The term “Due Diligence” first came into common use as a result of the United States’ Securities Act of 1933. This Act included a defence at Section 11, referred to as the “Due Diligence” defence, which could be used by broker-dealers when accused of inadequate disclosure to investors of material information with respect to the purchase of securities.

As long as broker-dealers exercised “Due Diligence” in their investigation into the company whose equity they were selling, and disclosed to the investor what they found, they would not be held liable for non-disclosure of information that was not discovered in the process of that investigation.

Originally the term was limited to public offerings of equity investments, but over time it has come to be associated with investigations of private mergers and acquisitions as well.

The process of conducting a Due Diligence would entail that the seller of a business would supply specific information to the person that performs the Due Diligence. This would include audited financials for the last three years or more, as well as management accounts for the period thereafter. Together with this financial information it is preferable to also receive the debtors and creditors age analysis. If a seller is unwilling to

supply this basic financial information the potential buyer should be careful as this can be compared to selling a house without allowing the buyer to see it. Unfortunately there is sometimes misrepresentation when it comes to selling businesses and understating expenses is a common practice in these cases. By checking the companies’ most recent financials against financials that were submitted to SARS one can quickly identify variances in income and expenses, which could be an attempt by the seller to mislead the buyer. The buyer also needs to familiarise themselves with expected income and expenditure as shown by the financials to make an informed decision. Certain “add-backs” are acceptable and this include adding back depreciation and other personal expenses that the seller includes in his financials, but these amounts must be checked by the person who performs the Due Diligence.

Checking risk requires a precise evaluation of the companies’ background, strategy, management, personnel, premises, processes, systems, financial control, budgets, taxation, markets, marketing, competitors, services, contracts, legal agreements, assets and other significant matters.

Performing a Due Diligence is a comprehensive process and it is advisable that it is done by an accountant or business analyst who has experience in the industry.

Business RescueWhat is business rescue?

The new Companies Act (“the Act”) became effective on 1 May 2011. One of its focus areas was to enhance protection to ailing businesses – to give them the opportunity to get back on their feet.

Owners of businesses need to be aware of the duties imposed on them by the Act and of the potential that the business rescue process offers. Not many small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) have taken advantage of business rescue provisions.

A brief overview

A business which is already or is becoming financially stressed (liabilities of the business will exceed its assets and/or it will not be able to pay its creditors within the next six months) is obliged to seek business rescue or needs to explain to its stakeholders why it is not opting for business rescue. Alternatively, an affected person (creditor, employee, shareholder or trade union) may approach a court to put a business into business rescue.

To commence business rescue proceedings a notice has to be filed with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (“CIPC”) noting that the business is opting for business rescue and is requesting that a business rescue practitioner (“BRP”) be appointed.

You may appoint a BRP of your choosing, provided he is accredited with the CIPC. Once appointed, the BRP takes effective control of the business.

The BRP has to convene a meeting of creditors within 10 business days of being appointed and within 10 business days after publication of

the plan to allow all affected parties to vote on the proposals of the plan. The BRP needs to be convinced there is a reasonable chance of successfully turning the business around or obtaining a better deal for affected persons who include creditors, employees and if their rights are affected, shareholders. If 75% of the stakeholders approve the plan, the BRP may then execute the plan.

Business rescue takes approximately three months (which may be extended by an order of the court) and in this time, the rights of creditors are restricted as the BRP. In this period, creditors may only commence legal action against the business with the permission of the court or the written permission of the BRP. Employees still enjoy the protections of our labour law – for example, any retrenchments will need to be done in accordance with labour legislation.

In addition, the BRP effectively runs the business.

Once the BRP has completed the rescue plan then business rescue proceedings end.

Alternatively, the business may be purchased or go into liquidation.

Business rescue is designed to be a cost-effective and speedy way of saving a business.

Decision makers in a business must be aware that they face potential criminal or personal liability if they fail to act in accordance with the Act.

In July 2013, I joined LINK after selling a family business.

Throughout my dealings with several business brokers, I soon realised that a massive opportunity existed in the market place for a professional business broking service.

With this in mind, all my energy was focused on finding the most dynamic business brokerage in South Africa with a large international network of offices and registered clients and then I discovered LINK.

LINK has surpassed all my expectations by providing consistent support in a friendly and professional manner and by providing all the necessary systems and tools which makes it impossible to fail as a business broker.

Business broking with LINK behind me has certainly proved to be a dream opportunity and career come true!

Amanda Claassen Franchisee - LINK Port Elizabeth Mobile: 074 942 3582 Email: [email protected]

Having spent the last several years looking for an opportunity to acquire my own business, I came across and made use of LINK Business Franchising Limited during my search and noted that the field of business broking was very underdeveloped in the Eastern Cape area. I decided to grasp this opportunity and purchased a LINK franchise. From day one, I have not looked back and the professionalism and support that one gets from LINK is like no other. Having my own LINK franchise offers unlimited potential where the sky is the limit. I am very pleased to be part of the LINK South Africa family and look forward to growing with this dynamic company.

These days, with the right amount of time and money, anyone can be a business owner. In order to be an exceptional business owner on the other hand, you need the passion, the drive and most importantly: brilliant leadership skills.

Now, there is a common misconception that a good business mind is automatically equipped and preprogrammed with good leadership skills. However, if you really take a moment to think about it, leadership is very much like sport – it’s a skill that needs to be learned, shaped and perfected over time. So let’s take a look at a couple of means and methods for honing these capabilities in order to lead your business into a brand new era of success:

ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR CAPABILITIES

Becoming aware of your own personal strengths and weaknesses is an important step in laying the foundation for good leadership skills. In this way, you not only identify what your core focus should be, but also in which areas you’re falling short. Remember – your weakness might be someone else’s strength, so don’t be afraid to acknowledge it and delegate accordingly.

LEARN TO FOCUS

Don’t try to multitask. In business, it’s essential that you focus on nothing but the task at hand – whether it’s meeting new people or closing a deal, or even something as seemingly trivial as reading emails. Once your focus is effectively channeled, you’ll be able to not only tick things off the to-do list, but complete them in a way that’s both thorough and rewarding.

LET YOUR “NO” BE YOUR “NO”

…and your “yes” your “yes. Being a good leader is all about proving to people that they can trust you and ultimately rely on you. It’s therefore essential that you demonstrate this by being steadfast in your word and always standing by your promises and decisions.

CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS

This is easier said than done. Controlling your emotions is really all about identifying what triggers them and learning how to cope with it in a business environment. You need to reach a point where you see the bigger picture and put the needs of your company and employees above your own (“selfish”) emotions.

TRUST IN YOURSELF

This is a tough one, but a crucial point nonetheless. The fact of the matter is, the more trust you place in yourself, the more confident you will become. As a result, you will make better, more instinctive decisions that are comfortable with you.

DON’T THINK OF YOURSELF AS NO. 1

You’re a business owner – you’ve already proven yourself! Now is the time to stop putting your own ego above the needs of your company and employees and instead, opening your mind to consider what others might bring to the table. Be the bigger person and stop feeling threatened by real talent and potential.


SHARPEN YOUR WRITING SKILLS

In your quest to becoming a good leader, you need to present yourself as an educated intellectual who demands respect and trust. You might already be a fluent and influential speaker, but remember that the same rules apply to writing – even something as simple as an email is reflective of your professionalism and attention to detail. Remember – there’s no shame in pulling up a dictionary every once in a while!

BE GENUINE AND CARING

These are traits that we all value in a person – not just in the line of business, but in all aspects of life. Showing real compassion and caring for those around you and treating them with respect are sure ways of gaining their respect in return. This doesn’t necessarily mean always giving them “their way”, but rather being open to compromise and creating a culture of “belonging”.

SURROUND YOURSELF WITH BRILLIANCE

You can’t do it all. Employing highly skilled and trustworthy people will give you the peace of mind to delegate, ultimately freeing up your hands to focus on other more important leadership tasks. As an added bonus, the fact that you’re not peaking over employees’ shoulders will encourage them to take pride in their own work and give them the sense of job satisfaction that we all crave.

LEAD BY EXAMPLE

We’ve all heard and even used this phrase, but do we really implement it? Small things like leaving half an hour earlier in the afternoon or raising your voice to an employee can have major negative ripple effects. So when you’re operating in the field, always behave as if your every move is being watched and scrutinised by your entire task force.

BE HUMBLE

This doesn’t mean you can’t share your success story or name drop every once in a while, but maintaining a sense of humility can earn you much more respect in the long run. Always remember where you started and never talk down to someone less successful than you – that’s what will earn you real respect as a leader.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, CONSIDER A BUSINESS COACH

Much like a sporting coach assists a gifted sportsman in reaching his full potential, a business coach supports and motivates a naturally gifted business owner to excel in his field and achieve success. Even the greatest of champions will testify that in order to become a leader in any field, a little leadership and guidance from a coach is of the essence.

When making the decision to sell your business, the first step is to determine the value of the business. This is where a LINK broker can assist and factors such as the business’ profits and the value of the assets are taken into account.

There are however certain factors not found in the financial statements of the business which can affect its value, for instance:

• How dependent is the business on the unique skills of the owners?

• How strong is the brand / what is the value of the goodwill attached to the business?

• Does the business have a sustainable competitive advantage?

• How are other companies in the same industry performing?

• How sensitive is the company to economic changes?

The five most commonly used valuation methods are as follows:

• Earnings yield method

• Net asset value or intrinsic value method

• Dividend yield method

• Future benefits method

• Super profits method

1. Earnings Yield Method

This method capitalises the value of the anticipated future profits of the business. It is the most widely used method, although it has a limitation in the sense that it ignores the assets of the business, and assumes the profits will continue forever. A fair rate of return is decided on and the annual profits are capitalised at this fair rate of return.

What is a fair rate of return?

A fair rate of return is the return an investor would expect given the risk he is taking by buying the whole or part of the business.

If money market rates are currently 7%, the fair rate of return of a small business will have to be significantly higher to compensate the investor for the additional risk he is taking. The higher the expected return, the less the investor will be willing to pay for the business.

2. Net Asset Value or Intrinsic Value Method

In terms of this method, the value of the business is the market value of the assets of the business less the total liabilities, excluding shareholder’s funds.

The limitation of this method is that it takes no account of future profitability or cash flow of the business. The method is most appropriate for the value of a property or an investment company, where the underlying value is mainly the assets themselves.

3. Dividend Yield Method

This method capitalises the anticipated future dividend distributions for the business.

It is best suited to valuing a minority shareholding, where the minority shareholder typically has no influence in the management of the business. Like the earnings yield method, the limitation of this method is that it does not take into account the asset value of the business.

4. Future Benefits Method

This method is mostly used in the valuation of debentures, preference shares, and mortgage bonds.

The value of the shares is the present value of the expected future income stream, discounted at the required yield. In other words, the value of the shares is equal to the capital needed today to generate the expected future income, where the capital is invested at a rate of return that would compensate the investor for the risk he/she is taking on.

As is the case with the earnings yield and dividend yield methods, the limitation of this method is that it does not take into account the asset value of the business.

5. Super Profits Method

This method combines elements of the earnings yield method and the intrinsic value method. It is mostly used where a majority shareholding is valued.

LINK’s Online Valuation Tool, has been built to assist brokers in reaching an appraisal price for a business. The data the tool draws on includes many thousands of business sales sourced from LINK’s own sales records and third party sales data. The tool takes into consideration aspects of all the above valuation methods. A professional report is generated for the broker to present to the seller, resulting in a quality service they can trust.

The main approach to this appraisal tool is through comparative market analysis. In other words, comparing the business to actual sales of similar businesses and reaching a view on value based on this information. To determine which businesses are deemed “similar”, a number of factors are considered.

These are the key areas that are compared;

• Business category

• Revenue

• Weighting factors

• Discretionary income (usually PEBITD)

While the theory is straightforward, the complexity arises when making comparisons of multiple factors simultaneously and at that same time removing outliers that may negatively affect accuracy. To this end we engaged the Auckland University Statistics Department (Pieta Brown PhD) to remodel the methodology used and to create an algorithm and correct statistical modeling to constantly assess new data and incorporate that into the Valuation Tool. Data-sets are customised accurately for South Africa.

If you would like to know the value of your business, contact us on our toll free number 087 820 4600 or email [email protected]. By using the code BBM3 you will be entitled to a free, no obligation appraisal.

Article by Charl Marais from JS Marais & Kie Attorneys, George

Employee or Independent Contractor?

Many business owners make use of the services of someone who they do not view as an actual employee of their business. Think for example of the bookkeeper who comes to your office two or three (or more) times a week to “do your books”. You know that the bookkeeper renders the same services to other businesses and in your mind she is an independent contractor, not an employee.

You may be surprised to learn that the Law will presume that someone is in fact your employee (and NOT an independent contractor) if he/she renders services to you, earns below a certain threshold and any one seven factors listed in the Labour Relations Act is present.

These are the seven factors listed in the Act :

1. A person who is required to obey your lawful instructions may be your employee. A true independent contractor is contracted to deliver an end result and when or how he does what he needs to do is not your concern.

2. It is a strong indication that an employment relationship exists if the worker’s hours of work or the number of hours he/she is required to work are determined by the person to whom he/she renders services.

3. If someone works for an organisation and forms part of that organisation, it will be an indication that such a person is an employee. For example, if the bookkeeper referred to above is allocated an email address containing your business’ name, this may be an indication that she in fact forms part of your organisation and in terms of the LRA she may then be presumed to be your employee.

4. If a person has worked for an employer for an average of at least 40 hours per month over the preceding three months, the worker will be presumed to be an employee.

5. If the worker is economically dependent on the person for whom he or she works or to whom he or she renders services, the worker may be presumed to be an employee.

6. If you provide the worker with the tools of trade necessary for him/her to render services to you, the worker may be presumed to be your employee. Tools of the trade may be interpreted to include a computer, telephone - even paper.

7. If the worker only works or renders services to you, the worker may be presumed to be your employee.

An employee is entitled to the protection afforded by legislation, and actions by someone who is deemed to be your employee may attract liability for your business in terms of, for example, the consumer protection legislation. It is therefore very important to be aware of the exact nature of the status of persons working for your business.
