THE SALE OF LABYRINTH
ENTERPRISES, LLC
Much of the value of Labyrinth Enterprises, LLC, rests in intangibles.
There is a truck and trailer (see photo) and some tools, valued at around
$30,000. The sale price of $250,000 is based on several conditions. First,
the purchaser will get the name, history, and good will of Labyrinth Enterprises,
LLC, which will give instant credibility. They will be able to say they
have been in business since 1995, have made 1,000 labyrinths, etc. Further,
as part of the sale, Robert will work with the purch aser
for two years, transferring his knowledge and contacts, as well as ideas
on how to grow the business even further. Robert will introduce the new
owner to the labyrinth world, if not already so-identified. Most of all,
despite the value of these intangibles, the sales price is extremely low
considering any standard way of analyzing a business, such as using a
multiple of annual sales or capitalizing the profit. Serious prospects
should contact me (Robert).
If there is no sale of Labyrinth Enterprises, LLC, then it will likely
be reduced to a part-time endeavor during my retirement years. In the
long run, that would probably be more profitable, but I would prefer to
have no restricting responsibilities during my retirement so that I will
be free to travel, lecture, and do some writing.
