Two Triggers That Cause Business Owners to Press the Eject Button
Jun 27th
Have you ever wondered what prompts a business owner to put their company up for sale?
I put that question to the head of mid-market M&A for a Toronto-based investment bank specializing in selling companies (he requested anonymity).
1. Unsolicited bid
“Typically, a client calls us because they have been approached out of the blue by a buyer.” My banker friend went on to explain that an unsolicited advance causes a business owner to start thinking about what his or her business might be worth.
2. Health scare
I asked my contact to reveal the second most common trigger: “It’s typically a health scare,” he said. “The owner, a close friend or spouse has a health issue, which causes them to reflect on how short life really is.”
Interestingly, both of these triggers are externally generated and could lead to a hasty sale with a discounted price. In my experience, you need a proactive plan to sell your business to maximize your valuation.
For example, I’m on the advisory board of a small company based in California, and I’m writing this post on the plane on the way to our next meeting. I just read the company’s board package, and it’s trying to decide between four different growth strategies. It has outlined the possible exit options—complete with potential strategic acquirers—associated with pursuing each plan.
If you want to get the highest price for your business, don’t leave your exit planning up to somebody or something you don’t have control over.

Adding the Facebook Like Button To Your Site

Some pretty big changes are brewing over at Facebook and I’m working on a full coverage type of piece, but for today I wanted to jump in and cover one little change that makes some sense for you to consider right now.
Facebook has changed the idea of becoming a fan to something a little less committed – Like. Now you can like or recommend a fan page to your friends. The net effect is the same as your choice to like something is noted on your wall.
The big change is that Facebook wants you to start sharing your likes from anywhere on the web. Look for web publishers to start installing the FB like button on web sites, blog posts and in reference to individual items and products.
The video below gives an overview of the Like button installation process. You can use the FB tool easily get started or, if you know a little HTML and FBML you can do a fair amount of integration.
I’ve installed both the Like Box (over in the right sidebar) and the Like Button (in each post)
The code that is generated from the FB like tool gives you some flexibility but will only link to the page you give it. If you want to add a button as I have in each post you need to edit the code URL to include the WordPress < ?php the_permalink() ?> code for each individual post.
You can control some of what’s shown on a person’s wall when they click the like button by adding meta data to your page headers. Facebook is using the emerging Open Graph protocol to help this along.
The image below is another implementation of the Like button related to a specific product. In this case the format include pictures and details about who likes the product.
