Ambitious Business Owners – Take Your Business to a Higher Level
I have a quoted PLC client who is eager to talk to ambitious independent business owners. It will be appreciated that both business continuity and the size of a business are very important factors for this client when it is considering an acquisition.
To join the PLC directly a prospective acquisition needs to have pre tax net profits of at least £250,000 p.a.
Here is a list of the key attractions for an ambitious independent business owner in being a part of this quoted PLC :-
1. Create an unrivalled platform for future business growth.
Also be aware that the PLC’s business model is designed to gives the directors of each subsidiary company the opportunity to grow fast via their own acquisition program using the PLC shares as a form of “ acquisition currency “
2. Swap illiquid private company shares for publicly quoted shares.
3. Up to 20% of the independent company’s business valuation can be immediately taken in cash and the remainder of the valuation to be held in PLC shares subject to a one year lock up period. There is also a very lucrative BONUS SHARES FORMULA available which provides an avenue, based on strong business performance , to further substantially increase the net worth of the independent company shareholders at the end of their first and second years as part of the PLC.
4. There is a big difference in what a company is worth privately compared to what it is worth publicly … ( i.e. as part of an entity which is greatly “ scaled up “ and whose shares are liquid and traded on one or more stock exchange ).
In addition, and particularly so because every subsidiary company is debt free, it is possible to distribute a high percentage of annual profits by way of regular dividends.
5. There is potential for future substantial personal capital gains on the share price to provide the business owners with a transformational increase in their net worth over the next few years.
6. Hold the value inherent in his/her business in tradable public company shares. In this way his/her net worth in the business becomes liquid.
7. The directors of each subsidiary company retain full day to day operational control of their business while gaining all the financial and operational benefits of being part of a publicly quoted group.
All of the benefits of selling one’s company with none of the downsides.
8. Business Risk is hedged………… across a number of companies in a number of sub sectors.
9. The business model is collaborative e.g. warmest possible introductions are available from “ sister “ companies in the group.
10. The opportunity to confidently quote on contracts for large potential customers utilising both :-
The enhanced credibility of being part of a PLC.
AND
The strength of the PLC balance sheet
Objective – to win bigger contracts and earn bigger profits
11. The opportunity to attract and retain the best talent who are attracted by an enhanced career path as part of a quoted PLC.
NOTE
There are two boards :-
Executive Board – The M.Ds of each subsidiary company. They come together regularly at Board Meetings giving the opportunity to share ideas and collaborate.
Non – Exec Board – The face to the investor marketplace. Handling everything involved in being a quoted PLC e.g. compliance etc.
In Summary
This really is a unique opportunity for an independent business owner to transform his/her business and, indeed, his/her own life by lifting his/her business to a whole new level by utilising all the advantages of being part of a quoted PLC to maximise his/her net worth over the next few years AND turn his/her net worth in his/her business from an illiquid asset to a liquid asset tradable on a public stock exchange.
