A leveraged buyout (LBO) occurs when a financial sponsor gains a controlling interest in a firm’s equity and where a major % (percentage) of the buying value is financed through borrowing. The possessions of the obtained firm are often used as collateral for the borrowed money, sometimes with assets of the acquiring company. The bonds issued for leveraged buyouts normally have several trenches ranging from barely investment grade to high coupon ‘junk’ because of the major risks involved. In today’s financing markets, even the most prestigious LBO firms have had difficulty financing transactions leading to a dearth of deals and some say the death of the LBO industry as we know it...

While the income statement itself is simple, many non-accountants lack a basic understanding of it because the terms have come to mean many things for them; that is, they aren't restricted to accounting only. What is the Income Statement? The income statement is a financial statement that measures the profits (or losses) of a business. It is designed to measure the results of operations during a period of time. Therefore, we can say that the income statement will tell whether a business is profitable or not. Components of the income statement: And we can enhance our understanding of this statement by defining with precision 6 specific terms: 1. Revenues are increases in owner's equity (capital or...

Purpose of a Balance Sheet The balance sheet boldly declares where a business stands at a given moment in time. From the balance sheet, a financially sophisticated reader can learn an immense amount of valuable information about a business and its viability. That is why potential investors and lenders will almost always ask you for a copy of your financial statements, including the balance sheet, income statement, statement of retained earnings, and statement of cash flows. This is also why you, as a savvy entrepreneur, need to understand the information presented on them. Why It Is Important The principal reason your business's balance sheet is so important to you and to any potential investors or...

The following are some examples of modern financial management theories formulated on principles considered as 'a set of fundamental tenets that form the basis for financial theory and decision-making in finance' (Emery et al.1991). An attempt would be made to relate the principles behind these concepts to small businesses' financial management. Agency Theory Agency theory deals with the people who own a business enterprise and all others who have interests in it, for example managers, banks, creditors, family members, and employees. The agency theory postulates that the day to day running of a business enterprise is carried out by managers as agents who have been engaged by the owners of the...

For such a relatively small world, the business rescue and turnaround management industry in the UK has generated an extraordinary variety of acronyms in a very short space of time. So this article provides a guide to who's who and what's what in the world of business rescue and turnaround management consulting: ABRP - rather inelegantly often pronounced as sounding like 'a burp', the Association of Business Recovery Professionals is the trade body for the UK insolvency profession (also known as R3) but now avoids the 'I' word having changed its name from SPI as part of the process of widening membership to the turnaround profession by assisting with the set up of the IfT (nee STP). Most IPs, see...

The next couple of real estate investment marketing plan components are postcards and letters. We can almost handle them together. Postcards are a very powerful way of delivering your message and a very powerful way of getting responses back. It's important that you do it right. There's a small postcard that offers free information. There's a large postcard that talks about a free seminar. There's a large postcard that is about giving away free information about private lending. The postcards have got to follow the same format that we talked about last week. That was the problem, agitate, and solution. You want to create the problem. Problem The problem is, "Are you getting 9-12% return on your CDs...

p>Executive Summary The Executive Summary should be probably no more than one page ever. It's just two or three paragraphs, where you kind of take everything we just talked about and you boil it down to really one or two or three paragraphs. Ultimately, once you're sitting in front of a private lender, you would have this Executive Summary internalized in your own brain and you could lay that out to a person in a verbal format in a relatively comfortable way. Everything kind of boils back down into your Executive Summary. It has to be relatively short, to the point, but you have to provide enough information to be meaningful and to be interesting. You would obviously want to include the following...

Another way to negotiate a "no money down" deal is with a seller who has no equity. The property is worth $130,000 and this time the seller owes $100,000 and he wants $100,000 so no equity above what he owes. Assume the Mortgage In this scenario essentially you would go up and you would offer to assume the existing mortgage. You would say, "Mr. Smith, I will take over your mortgage. I will make the payments going forward. You would deed the house to me and I will make the mortgage payments - but I will not pay off the mortgage." Sellers will do this all the time, again if they're properly motivated. If they're not motivated and they're thinking about selling six months down the road they're not...

ign="center"> Here are some suggestions for creating attention grabbing headlines for a newspaper ad: "Sell your house as-is for a fair price on the date of your choice." "A free report reveals how to sell your home in seven days." "Do you want a quick sale, fair price, no hassle? We buy houses." "Discover how you can sell your house in the next seven days." Here's a classic one: "Warning, if you wait, you might lose what you could have now. We buy houses in seven days." "Would you like a sold house in the next seven days?" "Secrets to making your next mortgage payment." "Home won't sell? This time next month you could have your house sold." "Cash. I will buy your house in seven days for cash...

How many times have you wished that you had been an active participant in the sport of golf as you watched the ongoing US Open or the PGA Championship? Well, since golf is an individual sport and does not involve teams, the number of actual sportspersons taking part comes several notches lesser than other team games such as soccer, hockey or baseball. Therefore, lesser mortals like us have slimmer chances of making it as a high-profile professional player in the golf course! Yet, if you want the opportunity to change the history of golf for once - try pursuing the career of a golf inventor as an alternate profession! Golf inventions, since the days of inventing the tee to today's oh-so-convenient...

Do you realise that if you own a positively geared property that it is virtually paying you to own it? Not only are you getting a return on your property investment in the form of capital appreciation but you will also be getting a return in terms of weekly rental excess over expenses. This is what we mean by being paid to own the asset. You will in effect be receiving capital growth from two perspectives, cash and equity. If you earn $1,400 in terms of cash from your rental property you may think that a return of that nature on a deposit of $40,000 is not very much return on your money (your deposit on a property). But if you look at the $1,400 cash return and then take into account the average...

The general consensus is that you will need 2/3rds of what you live on now when you retire. It makes one think a little bit about what you could buy with your money 20 years ago, doesn't it? Were they the days when a pork fillet was $9.99 kg instead of $32.00 kg, or the days when apples were $1.99 kg instead of $5.99 and when petrol was 38c a litre not $1.28? So if you retire at 65 and live until 85 you can see just how little your money will buy by the time you reach 85. This is the shock value in what you have to realise about growing your superannuation and becoming financially independent. Commercially run super funds have been earning about 9% for their investors, but during the last year that...

Starting a new business, want to add some upgrades to your leased space? Take a look into leasehold improvements. These are improvements made to your lease space that add value to the property while you are leasing it. A new light fixture can add different style and appeal to your business where the old one was just boring and looked all wrong with your inventory. Creating alterations, remodeling, renovating or adding on the property by the lessee, to make the space more usable, are all types of leasehold improvements. Other improvements may be painting, partitioning, installing retail counters, and replacing the flooring, adding dressing rooms and many other things. When looking at the accounting...

When Bill Gates recently announced that billionaires should give away the bulk of their fortunes, it made headlines around the world. While the Microsoft founder is among the world's wealthiest individuals and perhaps the leading philanthropist of his time, he is just one of many entrepreneurs who have amassed great fortunes in the technology sector and are using their wealth and influence to bring about positive change. Last year the Wall Street Journal (“Melinda Gates Defines a Charity's Mission,” June 5, 2008) reported on the “growing class of people who are applying fortunes made in tech and on the Internet to trying to solve some of the world's most stubborn problems,” including Jeff...

Starting up a project or business isn't easy. It can take months or even years WITH the right fundraising, and even longer without. You can't just jump into it. You have to have an image, a game plan, a goal in which you absolutely must meet. It doesn't matter what venture you are attempting to start, you need to have enough money in order to start up and keep the business going. Then there's the issue of actually fundraising. Fundraising doesn't mean that you have to sit around on a street corner, sweating to death in the heat or freezing in the cold, holding pastries and waiting for someone to stop and buy a box. Most of the time, those types of fundraisers just end in sun- or windburn and very...

One of the key faults of many entrepreneurs is that they create a job rather than a business. It all seems to make sense in the beginning. You've started your business and you do everything from the accounts, to the marketing, to the sales and making coffee. It saves additional costs and you know the business better than anyone else. As you grow your business, you may take on extra staff for certain tasks and you gradually let go of the areas that you're weakest on. But you still like to be involved in everything. After all, it's your business, your investment, your baby. What if someone else doesn't take as much care of it as you would? What if someone else neglects it? So you keep your finger in...

You can follow up on your postcard campaign by sending a compelling letter to the high net worth list you obtained for your marketing campaign. You can also send the letter to people who have actually responded to your post cards. Remember that the letter you send must speak directly to the interests of your mailing list. If you already did your homework on the mailing list during your postcard campaign then you are all set to go on this step. From here we will assume that your mailing list is highly targeted to high net worth individuals who are interested in investing in real estate, and not a general audience where it will be difficult to evoke a response to your service. Tips on Writing...

One of the things about private lending and all marketing, if you've done a lot of marketing, you know half of marketing is waste. Half of the people that inquire or raise their hand are probably never going to lend with you. All they want is some free information. They're wasting your time and you need to cull through those and get rid of those individuals and get to the real serious players. Identify the Serious Players You might have to have those people call you back once or twice in terms of trying to make sure that you identified they're real serious players. The other thing you can do with your credibility kit and I've not done this - I have a little bit, I guess. I do have a very well...

Distributing flyers in your community is another marketing strategy for finding private lenders who are interested in investing in your real estate deal. Post flyers at senior centers and areas where high net worth people attend and traffic. Again, you need to word the content in the flyer as an educational seminar or as an offer to receive free information related to your real estate services. It is important that you remember this to keep yourself out of trouble with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Create an Effective Flyer Title The manner in which the title is worded on your flyer is vital to the types of responses you will get. The more targeted the title is to the audience you...

The key for real estate investors to finding high net worth (HNW) private lenders is first the marketing image and then a consistency of purpose. Marketing Image It's essential to know that most affluent potential investors are NOT attracted to the typical private lending marketing. I receive loan requests all the time from friends, investors and others and most are very ordinary and uninteresting. Very few seem interested in getting to know me or my investment needs. Affluent investors are not going to respond to the same marketing you use for middle-class mom & pop investors. It takes a unique marketing edge to attract HNW investors. We all have association links in our brain. Those...

Now that the mortgage market for buying investment real estate is all but dead - investors need to have other sources available or go out business. Fannie and Freddie will no longer be available for investor mortgages, traditional banks and saving and loans will not touch investors loans for many years to come and hard money lenders, when available, can have total cost over 25%. The answer is private money raised from people, not banks, through a process called private lending. Here are the four top ways to attract and develop your group of private lenders. Private Lending Group Presentations A private lending presentation involves getting 5 to 20 people into a room and doing a group presentation...

Flyers? Aren't we going back to the 1980s? Wait a minute, who used flyers in the 1980s anyway? Passing flyers around does seem like an old school tactic when it comes to selling or promoting businesses. What's important to realize however, is that it's not the flyer advertising method that has gone out of style-it's the old school approach. You can still use flyers to promote an idea or a business or a seminar. You just need to change the tone of your flyer and find the right pitch to work with. You know what the funniest thing about flyers is? They actually do their job. Sure, everyone hates them, everyone laughs when they see them placed on their car or their doorknob. However, everyone-and we're...
