Date: October 22nd, 2017 10:28 AM Author: Offensive Fishy Shrine Jewess Going to probably turn a profit (before taxes) of around $225k this year. If this was some other small business making $225k in profit, I could probably sell it for 2-3x earnings, escape law, and move on to something else. But because it's a law firm, it's almost impossible to sell for any decent amount. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3771344&forum_id=2#34500920)

Date: October 22nd, 2017 10:32 AM Author: pink erotic tanning salon The thing that makes it relatively easy to start and grow a solo practice is the same thing that makes it hard to sell: lack of a barrier to entry. Obviously you need a law degree, but it's not like starting a factory and needing a bunch of machinery or whatever. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3771344&forum_id=2#34500943)

When she was set to retire her biggest problem was getting the buyer to go from 1.8 million to her 2 million figure. Ended up selling it for 1.95. I did the closing and walked away with -- $2500.

There are plenty of good attorneys who don't have much of a book. You could have a partner who gets paid from his collections and buys the equity from you year by year out of collections. You can probably eventually make MORE than 2x-3x as long as you're willing to maintain a token participation for a while. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3771344&forum_id=2#34502374)

Date: October 23rd, 2017 10:10 AM Author: Sickened salmon dysfunction parlour this is true of every small business - a ton of their value is in the knowledge and effort of the owners. I've seen this with two family friends recently. One pair of brothers tried to sell a well-established construction subcontractor business (probably 30 employees?). The buyers said OK, but both of you have to sign 5 year contracts as salaried managers. Another family had a pizzeria; no one would pay them more than the value of the ovens. Small business owners are the business. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3771344&forum_id=2#34508411)
