Due Diligence 101 or What you do not know can kill you!

Introduction:

This article was written as a general discussion on the topic "Due Diligence. Is for informational purposes and is not intended as a definitive guide to its exact location. You should consult appropriate professionals with respect to its own operation or situation. Additionally, this article is by no means the defense, which suggests or implies that any person who engages in fraudulent activity whatsoever. Simply are things that a buyer should consider when busy with diligence to the buyer of a business.

You spent months finding the right company. Seller says he can not go by what the tax return, but the company shows a lot of money, and he can not prove it. Your profit and loss of control shows that sales have risen slightly in recent years. The most important and the best news of all is, the price is right! Is this too good to be right? Sad to say, it probably is.

I think Benjamin Franklin, who said: "A fool and his money soon parted." Mr. Franklin must have seen Many business buyers. When buying appliances that break in a month, it costs a few dollars. When going to a trade to meet and are cheated because solid gold watch is really gold plated, it costs hundreds of dollars. When a car salesman cheats you, for selling a lemon, where the speedometer has been repressed 100,000 miles, it costs a few thousand dollars. How cheated buying a business can cost several thousand to hundreds of thousands of dollars. The only investment or acquisition, I know where you can be defrauded more money in real estate. real estate fraud can be hundreds of millions of dollars and no. You'd be surprised all the people between 1875 and 1950 saw real estate ads in Florida and bought a primordial swamp. What beachfront Louisiana Alligators living outside your front door? I wrote a series of articles on fraud and holds more and larger.

I hope that is already said. Never buy a business in the word of someone. In fact, you should never buy anything over the word of someone. Confirm everything, believe nothing and understand that you will always find the things after the close of escrow, which will surprise you. For a similar example is known to all employers. A team has worked for a company of four months and complained to the personnel officer that the work was too difficult. He complained that he needed more training and lower quotas. You feel sorry for him. Talk with him and talk to him about it. You listen and believe all the excuses given for poor production. Finally, smoking cessation, blamed for something you've done this before I was going to leave and fire. It then began to take over the work of finishing his incomplete projects. You're shocked, as you again and again, that is not correct and respect, he did not. This is what happens when you buy a business. You find all the actions that the seller does not, its staff, had consistently since the day he decided to sell the company.

Many companies are doing well. Sometimes, owners have personal things going on in their family life. Sometimes have medical problems. Several times the company is not doing well and that the seller is frustrated. It is very common for a seller to work hard to build your business, but for many reasons, it does produce what the seller wants. He is frustrated and one day give up. This is usually the day he called the business agent met and asks the big question. How long does it take for me to leave this place? In his mind, is gone. He has only days to physically walk.

Am I scared? Good. There is a positive side. It's worth all the pain to go to buy a business when you are in the driver's seat, put all the marketing actions in place and start driving your own business.

In 2000 I had a customer buys a car wash soap-making business for $ 2 million. Seller swore it was $ 500,000 profit a year. Due diligence has shown that it was only $ 300,000. When presented the audit report as the seller, the audit was wrong. The buyer bought the company, knowing it was too expensive for the company. Why? He had done his research the production department and sales department. He left the supplies with the drivers, and met with clients. Decided he could double sales and earnings in the year. After purchasing the company, he found two things to be true. The benefit was $ 300,000, as my audit found. It could be double sales and profits in 12 months, and does. The salesman tried to screw the buyer, but in the end, justice was served. The vendor that screwed fucked by the buyer is not functioning properly your business. If it had been able to sell for much more than $ 2 million.

Ok, enough with the funny stories, for now. Nevermind the details of what to be careful due diligence.

Due Diligence is defined:

The sentence consists of two words. "Because," which the dictionary defines as "adequate" and diligence which is defined as "the degree of attention or care expected of a person. Especially because part of an agreement. "Caution is the watchword in this definition.

Financial Statements – What to look for:

Add again:

If you purchased the company through a business broker, you should have received the financial statements of companies with a spreadsheet showing separate adjustments to those statements. These adjustments reflect the benefits of the owner of the company has also received the benefit and the salary he receives. They also can be defined as personal expenses to be added back to profits. Depreciation, tax benefits, interest expense is added back are not personal. The staff includes items such as expenses for the family car, life insurance, property, the owner of health insurance, business entertainment that is not really spent on clients, business travel is not really for business, mobile office expenses of the family home, cell and many more.

Click the seller to show you the details on all or part of these expenses to verify that they are personal and not actually business expenses that should not be added back benefits. Spend time asking detailed questions with the general ledger in front of you. Go through the different rates and that is, until you fully understand which is added back and why.

Inventory:

Inventory of resale merchandise must be checked for two reasons. The first is that you have to pay for it. Be careful, you do not want to buy merchandise that is old, invalid and more commercial. Pay only for products sold. Price they are supposed to pay for the cost of inventory is the seller. The price for the slow Alumni inventory is negotiable. Always check the price in cash and goods in the inventory list. People wonder that there are three to a point where there are only two? Of course, especially when they think nobody will check. Comparing the prices of purchase invoices is the way to control prices. You can not check each item in relation to the actual cost, but you can make 5% of the articles. Choose to chance, not a suggestion made by the seller or otherwise. If you do not understand how the business inventory is that you buy, hire an expert to the industry. Your agent should be able to help find someone. Do not be stingy, and I do not need to spend money on a consultant. I bet you a lunch paid for themselves several times.

Second Due Inventory control is that if a seller does not have an inventory at least once a year and adjust their asset value in its financial statements, in particular, the percentage of profit you receive will not be accurate. In general, the higher cost of goods sold, more profit. Some business owners reduce the inventory value on the books, so deliberate, to a low value for the business over a higher cost of goods sold, which creates a small profit. If they are, year after year, the benefit may or may not be accurate for the current year. It may take a CPA to understand that for you if you do not have a background in retail.

value of equipment:

The next thing to verify the financial statements the value and the current team to buy the company. The results could, if it shows all the company equipment owner, give the cost of equipment when it was purchased. If you buy assets rather than cash flows, evaluation of equipment becomes more important. Nobody wants pay more for the equipment used. Also check that the equipment works and is actually used rather than sitting behind the building with the other trash.

Sales Cash:

If all the income, activities check the volume of sales you've seen in the daily records during the "due diligence" to see if the volume corresponds to what was reported last year in the same month. When you see an income of $ 500 per day, but the seller shows sales of $ 1,000 per day why needs. Some smart buyers sit in the company all day, watch the sales and to respect the activities of staff. This works the seller is putting in a full production fraud for you were the buyer.

Fraud:

How to defraud a seller to a buyer in the current sales activity levels? Sellers who have the files of little or no documentation, often suggest that the buyer makes a visual inspection of 15 days. This helps, but it is very dangerous to rely exclusively on physical checks just because the seller can still fool the buyer. Here is the most famous of the stories we heard in recent years.

Seller owns a dry cleaner. The buyer the seller has opened escrow and the matter is subject a physical observation period of 15 days. The seller does not want the buyer to know that the turnover is very slow. The seller tells all his friends for their dry cleaning shop for a period of two weeks without charge. They bring clothes to clean, collect and pay for it. Later, the business owner meets with clients and reimburses all costs of dry cleaning. The day after escrow closes all business traffic stops. Think this never happens? It The same is true of restaurants. Seller tells all his friends for all their friends in a free meal. Customers pay the bill and a little later or at home, the owner company reimburse all customers for the cost of your meals.

real-time sales work:

Determine how many hours the seller really works. You buy an income stream based on a limited number of hours. Make sure the seller is not working 80 hours and tell you how that works 40 hours per week. I had a no fast food buyers and they say I worked part-time – five hours a week. A closer look shows that working 25 hours per week. A seller auto repair, we will call Bob, said he has been with the company because it had a second full time job. The inspection found 30 hours per week (four hours each evening and 8:00 on Saturdays).

Find out what the salesperson's job functions:

Get a list of functions that the seller does. It is an accounting to them? Sometimes the woman part-time books and he never said. Again, you can find the owner handles accounting, home every night, one more hour. In an auto repair shop, you can find the owner make repairs Corps, personally, on Saturdays, which is work that you, as buyer, will never be able to play. You must be sure you know how to do all the job functions that the seller does or learn them. The time for discover what are the skills you need to now resume is when you do your research, and not the day after the close of escrow.

Verification things that are not in the financial statements:

It is a common fact that businesses do not include all their income on their financial status. Yes, indeed. Many people do not actually report the truth on their tax returns. In fact, when I talk about small retail or service companies that have to do directly with the public, I think it is over 90%. "The will of the people with an honest set of books, if you please leave the room. Two golf carts outside waiting to heat your home. You do not need to hear that. '

The balance of this article will explain how a buyer can make your "Due diligence" for different types of businesses. Such businesses include restaurants, auto repair, contractors, real estate repair and non-real property, and retail stores.

No restaurant franchise:

Restaurants make up over 25% of all businesses for sale. This is not because they have all failed, as the SBA reports. Because 28% of all retail businesses are food service or food sales. It is the largest consumer market segment. Because it is a final consumer, it is 33% in cash. Each company independent non-franchise restaurants, I was showing a zero profit on the books. Some even go overboard and show a loss of tax revenue. Because they do simple tax planning that does not need an MBA to understand. If the company does not provide all of its cash, or one of its kind, costs will be equal to the income reported. This fact alone makes it attractive to many buyers. We will not discuss the moral issues of this attitude, is what it is. What we should discuss is how you do, the buyer can prove that the company makes a profit? And if so, How much?

Restaurants come in two categories. 1. fast food sales, cons. 2. Sit. fast food restaurants have records effective computerized record sales your computer, which has a memory. This memory has daily totals going back to the early history of the computer. Most of homeowners near their cash registers at the end of the day and the printing on the tape every day activities. This does not automatically remove information the day. The computer says I have a delete button that allows the owner to erase the memory is full to the computer, in the case of an audit. Also I was told, but I do not think a power outage can erase the memory of the computer and why one seller said he could not give me access to this information.

If we are talking about a sit down restaurant sales information, please use the ticket for each day, which are then attributed to the computer. This gives three sources: tickets, equipment and daily totals of the tape.

When this information is unavailable for any reason a well-known restaurant consultant can tell that the activities Sales only by inspecting the restaurant and count the number of customers eating at 4 key twice in one day, and in several key days per week. Then The consultant figures that may amount to an average ticket sale. With this information, like magic the consultant knows the gross turnover for the year.

A double-checking procedure for restaurant consultants is to look after the purchase of food and its costs, and can confirm correspond to actual sales figures. A consultant was hired to review a Johnny Rocket restaurant makes $ 7,000 audit and develop a marketing program for the buyer. The marketing program includes delivery and restoration. The two do not usually appear in computerized cash registers.

Restaurants – Franchise:

You imagine that franchise restaurants records would be very accurate because the company gets a percentage deduction from gross income. Enlarge connect to the franchise and knows what is happening faster than the owner. As mentioned above, only sales can be done and not reported to the computer are catering or delivery orders, which could make without calling up.

Some franchises do not connect with the exemption of personal computers and does regular audits. This allows the franchise reports a reduction in the income of the company and the IRS. In any case, an audit, they press the delete button on your computer. If you as a buyer can access to the computer that you know the numbers are correct, even if not complete. It is impossible for the staff or the owner to change the computer records. The information can be deleted. Once again the food and take can not be on the team. Employee theft can take the form of A. Employees who give free food to friends. 2. Employees do not sound an order, which is difficult when companies install signs saying: "If you do not receive an acknowledgment of receipt of your order is free."

Some sellers are so paranoid of the IRS, are not willing to show their private records or tapes, for fear that the buyer could be an IRS agent. My opinion personal, and what advice I give to sellers, is to get their books legal and honest and hire him a first-class CPA, like Donald Trump, and use all the legal tricks in the book. Martha Stewart was not in jail for domestic trade. They arrived in a lie, even if not lying. There are legal means to avoid taxes while fraud is not necessary. If you can not find a good accountant, I will recommend one.

If you ask someone "Are you a government employee or agent of the IRS? "And to lie, which could be considered a good defensive traps and possible courts. But I ask you. Is it worth the pain?

The normal action sellers in this situation is to require the buyer to run the business according to the documents and figure out the profitability of the place really is. This situation very difficult for brokers and buyers and sellers do not price their business based on these figures, but based on reported prices in the numbers real.

I hope this is helpful for you to worry about a restaurant, you might be interested in purchasing.

Repair Workshops Car

auto repair shops are almost as bad as restaurants when it comes to non-notification of cash. The procedure normal for most, I found, is to declare that the checks and credit card charges. The money they put in pocket. The Good, doing audits is that almost all the owners of these bills maintains the work order. These records are held monthly in Manila and placed in a drawer or a cabinet. They never tell you who keep these records, but they do. I even say the corridor, All safeguard documents have been destroyed, but they are not. When I insist that they can not sell their business without providing invoices, they tell me their existence. With the sales invoices an audit of income becomes simple. Since the sellers keep a folder of Manila a month, only you have to select files at random and the actual total monthly bills. Then compare them to what the "State Franchise Tax Board," says the report, and calculate what percentage of the total was declared. If you do this for a few months, a trend develops. Some sellers have even run a calculator tape activities month and / or written in a private register. You can check the actual invoice tapes against the private writings accounting information to confirm the general ledger is correct.

Real Estate / Contractors Repairs:

Real Real Estate including general contractors and builders of new contractors, contractors come to your home to provide home repairs (plumbing, heating and air conditioning contractors, gardeners, landscapers, termite companies, roofers, cleaners carpet, new cabinet modelers, curtains, carpet stores, tile stores, service providers in the pool, pool installation contractors, gardeners, etc.) These sub-contractors, if the owner does the work himself, do not use their tickets to the bills after they are paid for their services in cash. If the company are men of service, the owner is usually the dealer or administrative person. In this situation seller, most likely, all invoices will continue to be able to find records of their customers. It may not have been recorded revenue on its books, but do not have basic documents. May Theses records a total disaster, but records exist. If they do, then you can now buy based on what the seller can show, or whatever you can to estimate reasonable based on the percentage of companies sitting on cash. This will prove to you that the total of checks and credit card charges, which is what the seller given in return.

Real Estate No repairs / services:

No real property repair and service companies include such things big and small appliance repair, hair salons, nail shops, massage parlors, health clubs, grooming, wedding photographers and cinemas. These companies are not even a fine for less than a central register is used for recording income, unrecorded at all. Once again, it's like a restaurant with cash register tapes. If work is conducted on site the client, Studio List military truck. If you only have a few records of work, work done in the field, you can determine what the average dollar volume of repair and then if you calculate how many calls are made on an average day, simply multiply two numbers.

If we are talking about hair salons, nail shops or barber we may collect information about how many chairs there are, how the chairs are rented on weekly bases and what rent the owner is collecting. If the technician is not paying the rent while they are in a division Commission. If you know the income and the income split you are well on your way to determine the real benefit of this type of business. Remember not to take into account the owner's income as as a hairdressing salon owners would derive no income from the former owner. The former owner will probably rent space from you so that only add another chair rental income.

Retail:

A store is a store that maintains an inventory of the products they resell. Sometimes provide installation, which could then be put into service the company instead of a retail store. The main difference is that they sell a product rather than a service. This includes everything from Home Depot, pet stores, clothing stores, souvenir shops, supermarkets, vitamin shops and sign shops. The stores have cash registers and tapes of all the days of sales. This is handled the same in a restaurant and should be verified in the same. (See Restaurant above) In addition to information credit, you can also buy the records can be studied to determine the cost of goods as a percentage of the sale price. Through this percentage relationship cost to sale price known you can calculate either the value of goods sold or gross sales, if you have any to start. A few smart owners buy products cons of money to prevent a tax auditor capture them the same way. If the seller does this, I confess to you if you ask.

When all else fails with retail business

The only way to protect yourself is disclosure so that they have grounds for prosecution for fraud. Have the seller put the real figures sales, cost of goods percentage and any other information is given and can not be documented in a piece of paper and then the seller sign and date the document. If after closing security deposit to the seller find you lied, the document will give grounds for prosecution for fraud or misrepresentation. The important thing is to show a judge in writing what the buyer you have said and be able to demonstrate that he did in writing. If the salesperson says, but he never wrote that you can not prove it. "If not written, it is not so "

Health Professions and non-health professionals:

Professionals are a form of business services, unless charge a higher tax rate and must keep a register of patients / customers. Most people pay their professionals by credit card or check, as these costs are generally tax deductible as medical or financial advice. If the seller does not declare all income, ask about the save files are there. The customers always get receipts for services and payments. There are records, and you will find all entries.

When all else fails on the understanding cash income

If I followed all the above advice on income in cash and documents that do not actually have the documentation, which is in serious trouble. It is possible that has reached the end of his rope. Now you have two options left. 1. Walk away. 2. If you still want to buy this business, I've only suggestion. Is not it crazy, but evidence that this is a method. Cash seems to be about 30% -35% of total sales. You can make this assumption to reach an actual total. Add 50% for sales shown in the books, this amount of credit card and check sales. This is not an exact science, is only a close estimate. Sales Cash could actually be anywhere between 25% or 35%. I never thought that close.

Cash Expenditure verification:

When you think of unrecorded cash transactions, we usually unreported income. Unreported income is the largest category, but not alone. The other did not cost is deducted from the cash on the books. The largest item in this spending category is cash payroll.

Virgo pay cash:

In an attempt to reduce labor costs, employers pay a portion of salaries in cash. Why would they do that? On compensation accident insurance, FICA taxes, employer and employee share – federal and state income tax. Accountants his client yelled "You're next to a deduction legal duty. "Let me explain why someone would forego the tax raft through the payment of cash disbursements.

When you pay an employee $ 100.00 per day in the books, the employee receives about $ 70.00 net on your check. If you give $ 80.00 in cash, he's happy. He did not have to worry about going into a higher tax level.

The employer must pay about 10% to cover the employers FICA and other federal taxes work. You, as an employer also premium for workers compensation insurance. If we talk about mechanical repair insurance auto repair costs only 15%. If we are talking new construction workers real estate, we can speak of a cost rate between 25% to 120%. A bonus compensation roofer is greater than his gross salary. See what payroll taxes cost the average worker. The insurance rate auto mechanic of 25% is added to the cost of 10% of salary give us more federal spending is equivalent to 135% of wages. This shows that the employer payment of $ 135.00 and the employee receives $ 70.00. There is a loss of $ 65.00 per days per employee. Some employers prefer to put the $ 65.00 and not get the tax deduction for expenses. So with all the money unaccounted Company shows that it is important to have a loss in the books, because there is no need for more deductions to lower taxes. The company is no longer paying taxes.

Because there is a risk that the injured employee could file a claim under workers' compensation insurance, is common among small firms to display a portion of wages in the books and the rest in cash. That means that the employee earns $ 40,000 a year can be saved $ 18,000 on a Form W-2, creating a very low tax rate or no federal tax due to all. As the employee is paid part of his salary on the books if they are injured at work, which is fully accidents insured by Workers Compensation Fund State Compensation Fund State Disability, Unemployment Insurance of the State and all the benefits social security. It's a win-win for employer and employee, even if it is for the government. As a buyer, you should find in it, and adjust spending accordingly.

Operating expenses are not recorded:

As the owners are then collected a large amount of cash, they need a place to spend it. If you make a major purchase, you can not walk and pay cash for a car. The IRS will be informed of this cash transaction. Owners with a lot of money will pay for all repairs, gardeners and everything for the home that costs less than $ 10,000 in cash. Why is $ 10,000? Court is the record of a seller or a bank is required to declare when they receive cash. If a business owner still has a lot of cash, home sellers pay business expenses. They start with the amount of service when a man gives a discount for cash. I found two restaurants that were paying for the hood cleaning service in cash, in part because had a discount for cash payment. By asking the right questions, you can find out what is paid in cash.

Unregistered work:

Because talk about small business, woman comes to the business full time or part time. A child can come and work part time. You should be aware of employees may or may not be paid. This is another way to cash payroll. If you need to replace these people with the employees, these costs must be calculated net profit adjusted and loss calculations. .

Sometimes the family member is paid a salary, but not the full market value. Adjustment is still necessary, but in this case only the difference between real wages and the amount of compensation market.
