How to Position Your Business for the Best Buyers in Georgia

“Best buyers” aren’t just the highest offer—they’re funded, experienced, and likely to close on time with clean terms. Here’s how to attract them across Metro Atlanta and the greater Georgia area.

What the Best Buyers Look Like

  • Qualified & funded (cash + lender ready)

  • Operational fit (relevant experience, licenses)

  • Deal certainty (responsive, transparent, timely)

6 Moves That Raise Your Value

  1. Make the financials bank-ready. Recast to SDE, tie to tax returns, add a T12 and 24–36 months of monthly trends, plus an add-backs memo.

  2. Remove obvious risks. Reduce customer concentration, document SOPs, verify licenses/permits, prep landlord consent, update equipment logs.

  3. Package a real CIM. Executive summary, revenue mix, margins, team/org chart, assets/FF&E, growth levers, and a simple risk-mitigation table.

  4. Price from the market back. Use relevant SDE multiples and confirm DSCR so the deal is financeable (SBA or conventional).

  5. Build a buyer funnel—confidentially. Teaser → NDA → CIM → curated data room → tour → LOI. Screen buyers for fit and liquidity.

  6. Run a disciplined process. Diligence calendar, version-controlled docs, and weekly checkpoints to keep momentum.

Q&A: Fast Answers for Georgia Owners

Do I need a valuation first? Yes—using weighted SDE and relevant market multiples. It anchors pricing, supports lenders, and speeds offers.
What is SDE and why does it matter? Seller’s Discretionary Earnings = normalized profit available to a single owner-operator. Buyers and SBA lenders price from SDE.
How do you protect confidentiality? No materials without NDA + buyer fit screen. Staged data release, discreet tours, first names on site, and controlled timelines.
Can SBA financing work for my deal? If SDE is stable, add-backs are defensible, and DSCR pencils out, SBA can increase your buyer pool and deal certainty.
What if I’m including inventory or real estate? We clarify what’s included (at cost or FMV), set working-capital expectations, and coordinate lease assignment or a parallel real-estate purchase.
My revenue dipped recently—am I sunk? Not necessarily. We present T12 and monthly trends, explain causes, and show corrective actions (pricing, mix, contracts) to preserve value.
Which industries does VR Atlanta focus on? Home services, automotive, med-spa/healthcare, retail, and local services—across Georgia with national/international reach via the VR network.
