What makes a good partner firm when selling your business? Someone who cares about the outcome, not just the fees associated with getting to a closing. At Mid-States, relationships are at the heart of our business. Experience in the industry, knowledge of and relationships with the right buyers, and the ability to run a proper process are a must. But as Fadi Sadik, MBA, discusses below, we also LISTEN. What is the driving force behind the sale? Is it just monetary gain or is strategic fit important to the client? Is the brand remaining intact important? Does the client need help in other areas while the sale process is undertaken? These are all areas of focus at Mid-States. We don't just want to sell your business or locate the best lending relationship for your company, we want to help. Wherever possible. Because we're a relationship-based firm who cares about our clients and their outcome. And our past client relationships speak to that promise. There's a reason past clients continue to be one of our best referral sources. We walk the walk. Don't get misled by someone offering an exorbitant price that is out of line with market expectations. Find someone who cares and gives an honest opinion. For most, you get one shot at leaving a legacy with your business, so find someone who wants that legacy to thrive.

Wishing all of our colleagues and friends at Mid-States a very safe and happy Independence Day!

After a quiet couple of years on the funding front due to high interest rates, lender hesitancy, and general economic uncertainty, we are seeing many incoming requests for assistance in locating growth capital. The question is when is it appropriate to take on debt as opposed to reinvesting in the business? In general, third-party debt should not be looked at as a negative, rather as a means to an end to aid in business stabilization or growth. But relying on debt to fix a poorly run business will almost always end in disaster. However, if management has invested appropriately in people, systems, and built a strong balance sheet then debt can be used effectively to take the business to the next level. There are many different types of lenders that can effectively aid in the growth of a business, but they should be used strategically and with a full understanding of the cost and effects on future cash flow. Reach out to Mid-States today to learn about your options or options available to your clients.
