Construction Company Stock Sale to Preserve Gov Contracts

This 30+ year old construction company had excellent sales and profitability which resulted in a very favorable valuation. The company had many government contracts with local cities and counties that would be difficult to transfer in an Asset Sale, and a Stock Sale presented challenges with respect to potential successor liabilities and loss of depreciation.

I highly recommend Bill at Pacific Business Sales. He had multiple buyers for my company within weeks and had the business sold within a few months. If you are looking for a business broker, look no further.

Jay Hopping Laguna Niguel, CA

Bill at Pacific Business Sales was able to secure me a cash buyer for my less than two year old contracting company in under 2 months. With his experience and expertise, he deftly guided me through the entire sales and escrow process. All I had to do was fill out paperwork and attend a few phone calls and meetings. His thoroughness, follow through, and industry knowledge help him get the job done, and done well. Very highly recommend!

JA Jason A. Los Angeles, CA

Bill was the broker respecting the business I recently acquired. On the buy-side, he was highly knowledgeable, responsive, and accommodating to all aspects of the sales transaction. He also helped us tremendously with finding us financing for an SBA loan. I would recommend Bill, and I look forward to working with him and his team in the future.

DC Dustin Carreon CEO, COI Holdings

If I could give Pacific Business Sales 10 stars I would. We had the pleasure of working with Bill, who was extremely helpful and responsive. He addressed each and every one of my questions and was highly knowledgeable about all the rules and regulations. He guided us through the financing process swiftly and painlessly. His services were invaluable, and we don’t know what we would have done without him.

What is Discretionary Earnings (DE)?

The most common method for valuing a business is using a multiple of the company’s earnings. Two critical factors in determining an accurate value are using the correct earnings and the correct multiple.

The two principal earnings used are DE (Discretionary Earnings) and EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization). The difference between these two is that DE includes the owner’s salary and beneftits, while EBITDA does not and includes the cost of a paid manager. Consequently DE is always a significantly higher figure than EBITDA.Valuation multiples based on DE are much lower than those based on EBITDA as DE is a higher figure.
