Business owners have a plethora of issues that hold them back from growing and exiting their businesses. Nevaeh’s advising team is known for recognizing those disconnects and assisting business owners in quickly executing effective solutions. While it isn’t challenging to identify problems, solving them takes great skill and experience.
Somebody we knew once worked with a company that was struggling to attract new customers. The company had tried everything from lowering their prices to offering discounts, but nothing seemed to work. One day, the CEO of the company came up with a brilliant idea. They decided that they would offer a cash prize to any customer who referred a new customer to the company. At first, this seemed like a great solution to the company's problem. However, as time went on, it became clear that this plan wasn't working as well as they had hoped. It turned out that the majority of customers weren't interested in putting in the effort to refer someone else.
After realizing that their cash prize solution wasn't working, the company decided to take a different approach. Instead of offering a cash prize, they decided to focus on improving their customer service. They trained their employees to be more attentive to customers' needs, and they made sure that every interaction with a customer was a positive one. This solution proved to be much more effective than the previous one. Customers started to take notice of the company's improved customer service, and they began to refer their friends and family to the company. The company's reputation for excellent customer service spread, and soon they were attracting new customers without having to offer any incentives. This is an excellent example of how it's essential to not only identify a problem but also to find a solution that is effective in the long term. The company was able to turn its struggling business around by focusing on providing excellent customer service, which ultimately led to an increase in new customers.
The story of this company highlights the importance of investing in expertise rather than relying on trial and error. By focusing on improving their customer service, the company was able to turn their business around and attract new customers without having to offer any incentives. Similarly, Nevaeh offers the expertise that business owners need to transform their businesses and achieve success. Instead of wasting time and money on trial and error, business owners can rely on the Nevaeh team's years of experience to help them grow and succeed.
Nevaeh is a company that specializes in providing guidance to business owners who are looking to exit their business. We understand that exit planning is a complex process that involves a lot of different factors, and we are here to help business owners navigate this process with ease. Our team is dedicated to providing personalized support to each client, and we prioritize the unique needs of each individual owner.
One of the key aspects of exit planning is defining exactly what is needed to comfortably exit a business. This can involve a number of questions, such as how to find the perfect investor to help you exit your business, how much money is needed to exit, how soon the owner needs to exit, how involved they want to be in the future of their business, and what they want out of an acquisition. At Nevaeh, we help business owners answer these questions and more, guiding them through the entire exit process from inception of the idea to the closing table.
Our exit plans are designed to balance the timing, financial, and personal needs of each business owner. We understand that every business is unique, and we work closely with each owner to develop a plan that is tailored to their specific needs. Our plans are perfect for business owners who have previously been dissatisfied with the valuation of their business, as well as those who are not yet ready to sell.
In addition to creating exit plans, we also provide the necessary support to bring these plans to fruition. We understand that exit planning can be a daunting process, and we are here to help business owners every step of the way. Our team helps business owners identify areas that could be improved to increase profits, thereby increasing the value of their company. Profitability is a key factor for determining how much a business is worth, and we are committed to helping business owners maximize the value of their company.
Marketing and management are two key components for businesses to thrive. Marketing is responsible for attracting customers, while management involves guiding employees towards delivering exceptional service to those customers.
However, it's important to note that effective systems require supporting data to ensure the success of a business. For instance, in one acquisition turnaround, a business was spending thousands of dollars per day on advertisements that were not producing consistent results. Additionally, the same business had consistently unprofitable months at the beginning of the year.
At Nevaeh, our team of experts was able to solve these issues by advertising in different avenues and investing in keyword research to discover which advertisements were most effective. This data allowed us to create a marketing campaign that focused on the reasons why customers shop during traditionally slow months, which led to the business being profitable at the beginning of the year for the first time ever in the company's history.
The success of this campaign was made possible by having the right systems in place. Without the proper data, it would have been impossible to create a successful marketing campaign that would drive profitability for the business.
At Nevaeh, we're passionate about creating win-win situations for both business sellers and investors. Our team has experience on both sides of the closing table, so we approach every deal with an understanding of both perspectives. This allows us to create deals and arrangements that benefit everyone involved.
Our acquisition process is swift and streamlined, taking place in three phases. We work closely with business owners to determine a fair valuation for their business and create an exit plan that meets their needs. Our team has years of experience acquiring businesses across a range of sectors and industries.
Our closings can take place in days or weeks, not months, making the process as efficient and stress-free as possible for our clients.
At Nevaeh, we understand that investors need experience and data to make informed decisions when acquiring businesses, and we provide exactly that. Our team educates investors every step of the way and helps them find the perfect deal flows to meet their individual needs. We negotiate various deal types, including cash upfront, equity, and other types of investments, to ensure that our clients' needs are met.
We also support investors with increasing resale value and growing the businesses they acquire. At Nevaeh, we're committed to helping our clients succeed in every aspect of their business acquisitions.
Valuation is calculated by multiplying EBITDA or SDE by an industry-specific multiple. EBITDA and SDE are based on past financial data and are unlikely to change rapidly. However, businesses can increase their valuation exponentially by acquiring more service lines or entire businesses, which increases the multiple of the business.
For instance, a marketing agency may have a single multiple. However, if they expand their business to include web development services, they can add a web development multiple to their business. If they also start offering social media management, they can add a social media multiple. If they then start providing public relations services, they can add a PR multiple. A marketing agency that started with one multiple can quickly grow to have four or more multiples by making simple strategic improvements.
